Oncology aesthetics is a specialised field where trained professionals adapt skincare and wellness treatments to ensure they are safe, gentle, and supportive for individuals undergoing cancer treatment or living with its side effects. This integrative approach offers comfort and relief by tailoring each service to the unique needs of the client , addressing concerns such as dryness, sensitivity, fatigue, and emotional stress through modified techniques and carefully selected products. These treatments are not intended to replace medical care, but to work alongside it , supporting physical recovery and emotional wellbeing throughout the cancer journey.
Oncology aestheticians are educated in the effects of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and other therapies, allowing them to provide care that supports both physical recovery and emotional wellbeing. Every touch is guided by compassion, safety, and respect for where you are in your journey.
Comprehensive Cancer Care and Support
I understand that cancer care goes beyond just medical treatment. My goal is to enhance your physical and mental well-being through complementary therapies and products designed specifically for cancer patients and survivors.
Personalised Care Plans
Our initial consultation involves a thorough analysis of each client’s cancer journey, understanding potential side effects, and recommending the most suitable treatments. At each appointment, I will review, adjust, and ensure that you receive a safe, effective, and relaxing experience.
Addressing Skin Toxicity
Did you know up to 95% of cancer patients experience some form of skin toxicity due to treatment? Common symptoms include dry or flaky skin, hypersensitivity, redness, swelling, itchiness, photosensitivity, “burned” skin, neuropathy, thin and brittle nails, and mouth ulcers. Starting a correct skincare regime before treatment can reduce these effects significantly. Using the right products after a reaction occurs can greatly enhance your comfort and overall well-being.
Flexible and Accessible Services
I also offer home or hospital visits for terminal patients or those with reduced mobility. For more information or to schedule a consultation, please contact me at 083 024 1501.
