Paxman as a company was born out of a husband’s desire to prevent his wife, Sue, from suffering through the trauma of chemotherapy-induced hair loss. Our founder and chairman Glenn Paxman used his knowledge and expertise in the refrigeration industry to pioneer a scalp cooling system that enables people going through chemotherapy treatment to maintain their hair.

The family mentality of caring and supporting those going through what can be traumatic treatment side effects is maintained to this day and has become a core value as Paxman continues to grow. We understand how important consistency, privacy and control are to a patient facing cancer.

Sue was the spark that ignited more than just a business, but a global movement with a shared goal. Today, the Paxman team has grown to over 100 passionate individuals, dedicated to a single, patient-centric mission: changing the face of cancer. Together, we champion awareness, expand access, and continually strive to improve the outcomes of our technology so that every patient is seen, supported, and treated with care and compassion.

We are proud to be joined by countless clinicians, patient advocates, and researchers who have walked alongside us on this journey, as we drive adoption worldwide for the benefit of patients.

Together, we have not only changed the conversation around chemotherapy-induced alopecia, but we have also advanced the broader mission to improve the overall experience of cancer treatment by tackling side effects such as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.
