Post-Cancer Hair Loss Treatment in Boston, MA

Cancer survivors are often surprised to find that the journey to recovery includes unexpected challenges, like lingering hair loss. Our Boston office offers specialized care for women experiencing hair thinning or permanent shedding after chemotherapy, radiation, or hormonal therapies.

Compassionate, Personalized Care for Survivors Hair Loss After Chemo Treatment in Boston, MA

Up to 40% of patients who undergo chemotherapy may experience some degree of permanent hair loss. In addition, long-term hormonal treatments like Tamoxifen—often prescribed to reduce recurrence in breast cancer survivors—can cause hair density and diameter to decline over time.

While we would never suggest stopping or altering these life-saving medications, we believe that hair loss support can and should be part of survivorship care. At Medi Tresse Boston, our team understands the emotional impact of post-cancer hair loss and offers solutions that are safe, medically guided, and emotionally sensitive.

When and How to Start Treatment

The ideal time to begin treatment is as soon as your cancer therapy is completed and remission has been confirmed. Early intervention gives us the best chance to support regrowth, preserve remaining follicles, and improve hair density.

However, it’s not too late if time has passed. We’ve seen positive outcomes even in patients who finished treatment several years ago. We’ll perform a trichoscopy exam during your consultation to assess whether hair follicles are still active. If they are, there’s a good chance we can help stimulate meaningful improvement.

“Exceptional caring staff. I have had great results and am a long-term patient. My results are great, and I highly recommend their hair restoration program.”

Post Cancer Hair Loss in Boston Frequently Asked Questions

Can hair loss from chemotherapy be permanent?

Yes, while most chemotherapy-related hair loss is temporary, studies show that up to 30–40% of patients may experience permanent thinning, especially with newer regimens or extended therapies.

When is it safe to start treatment after cancer therapy?

We typically recommend waiting until chemotherapy or radiation has concluded and remission is confirmed. At that point, we can safely evaluate your scalp and discuss treatment options.

What if it’s been years since my treatment?

It may still be possible to improve your hair. If active follicles are visible under trichoscopy, treatments like PRP or laser therapy may help strengthen and stimulate growth, even years after cancer therapy.

Will you coordinate with my oncology team?

Yes. Your safety comes first, and we’re happy to communicate with your oncologist to ensure all treatments align with your ongoing care and medical history.

Are these treatments painful?

Most are non-invasive and well-tolerated. PRP involves minor injections, and LLLT is entirely painless. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through what to expect for each option.

Do I need to stop my cancer medications to begin hair loss treatment?

No. We never recommend altering or stopping any prescribed therapy. Some patients begin supportive treatments while still on hormonal maintenance drugs. We simply tailor our approach around your current plan.
