Wigs for Hair Loss From Chemotherapy

A common side effect of chemotherapy is hair loss. Many chemotherapy drugs have no affect on hair. Others cause mild hair thinning or complete hair loss.

A doctor or nurse will tell patients if hair loss can be expected with cancer treatment.

For those women who experience hair loss as a result of cancer treatment, there is a solution at Pennsylvania Hospital.

A new American Cancer Society Free Wig Salon is open at Solutions for Women at Pennsylvania Hospital.

Wigs can be expensive but through the American Cancer Society Free Wig Salon program, women who experience hair loss as a result of cancer treatment are given brand new, high-quality wigs free of charge.

There are a variety of colors and styles to choose from and they are made to be adjusted to fit comfortably.

The Free Wig Salon at Solutions for Women is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10 am to 3 pm.

Please call 215-829-5046 for more information.
