Skin Comfort and Hydration Treatment
Gentle, hydrating, therapeutic touch for survivors and those dealing with the side effects of active anti-cancer therapies including chemo, radiation, and surgery. Special care is given to safely work around ports, lymph node removal and radiation injury by your Esthetician who is Oncology Trained. This treatment is highly customized, and is designed to calm and comfort dry, irritated, sensitized skin, and allow a space for relaxation and quiet repose. Depending on your needs, this service may include comfort for the face, scalp, hands and feet. If you are in active treatment, please let us know the date of your last infusion when booking.
Your skincare team at Viriditas is "ONCOLOGY TRAINED", which means they have received special training to understand the challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis, and are trained to provide a SAFE SKINCARE TREATMENT.
WE ARE NOT DOCTORS, AND WE DO NOT "TREAT CANCER", but we can help your skin feel more comfortable and provide a gentle caring touch that is so helpful with the healing process.
Yes, you can recieve a facial experience even DURING active chemotherapy, radiation and post surgery.
For many people, the side effects from a cancer diagnosis can linger for years, and skin treatments may need to be modified FOREVER to ensure safety, even 20 years after treatment.
Laurie Neronha, owner of Viriditas and Senior Esthetician, was a Regional Trainer for Oncology Spa Solutions, meaning that she trained other estheticians and spa professionals in oncology skin care.
