Penguin Cold Caps

Penguin Cold Caps

In 1996, Frank Fonda, an engineer and businessman, became aware of the devastating effects of hair loss caused by chemotherapy treatment. He made it his mission to research and develop a solution to enable cancer patients to save their hair from the process. Consulting with some of the world's top trichologists to understand what causes chemo-induced alopecia and using his engineering background, he developed a pioneering therapy that would get to the 'root' of the problem. This research and development led to the foundations of Penguin Cold Caps. Establishing their first distribution centre in the USA in 2006, Penguin Cold Caps are now used across 1400+ hospitals and in 56 different countries having helped over 25,000 cancer patients save their hair.
