Cancer Doesn’t Cancel Facials, Skincare, or YOU!
Our customized facial is a comprehensive journey tailored from start to finish, considering your unique skin type, specific concerns, and individual skin requirements. Through the incorporation of various techniques and specially selected products, this facial is designed to deliver results without any downtime, revealing radiant and rejuvenated skin.
This service harnesses the power of touch, aromatherapy, and massage to provide profound relaxation, promoting a sense of overall well-being and balance.
For clients undergoing anti-cancer drug therapy (chemo) or radiation therapy, specialized care is essential. The cancer treatment may compromise your skin's barrier, resulting in extremely dry and sensitive skin. This underscores the critical need for meticulous customization of your facial. Our licensed esthetician, who is certified and trained to address the needs of delicate skin, conducts oncology facial treatments. All the products used are natural and free of chemicals to safeguard your skin from further compromise.
A cancer diagnosis should not deter you from enjoying stress-relieving spa services. However, it does emphasize the importance of seeking an esthetician who is well-versed in asking the right questions and can adapt your services to ensure your safety and well-being.
Note: This service is ONLY recommended for clients whose last infusion will be at least 14 days before their spa appointment OR whose next infusion will be no more than one day after their spa appointment.
If you are not sure if you should book an appointment or have questions, please contact us to be certain you are not putting yourself in danger.
Message from Katie:
I am always asked - What's so special about Oncology Esthetics?
With the increasing prevalence of cancer diagnoses, it's likely that you or someone you know is touched by this challenging disease. Personally experiencing the impact of cancer on multiple levels has given me a unique insight into the physical and emotional struggles faced by cancer patients and survivors. Recognizing that individuals living with, recovering from, or surviving cancer deserve special care, I pursued certification in Oncology Esthetics. Cancer treatments can take a toll on the skin, and I am driven to alleviate this particular challenge.
Research shows that the power of touch, whether through a facial, massage, or practices like Reiki, can reduce pain, enhance mood, and alleviate fatigue in cancer patients. During cancer treatments, our skin health often suffers as our entire body is under immense stress. This stress is not only from fighting the disease itself but also from the treatments necessary for survival. I consider myself fortunate to be certified and equipped to offer specialized treatments that nourish your skin and provide relief during this challenging time.
These treatments are designed to restore balance, a balance that is continually in flux, whether before, during, or after chemotherapy and radiation. I've pursued additional certifications to better assist you in addressing extreme dryness, inflammation, and the potential fragility of your skin. I utilize unique products that are specifically chosen to soothe, deeply hydrate, and fortify your skin's weakened protective barrier.
Through extensive training and dedication, I am prepared to work alongside you to improve the condition of your skin during this journey. I firmly believe that every positive action holds meaning, and self-care serves as a purposeful and effective stress reliever.
A little extra compassion delivered through the power of human touch—it's not about "fixing, but rather about feeling better, feeling cared for, feeling seen, feeling heard, and feeling a little bit more yourself again.
