Pre + Post Cancer Surgery
Whether exploratory, preventative or more invasive, cancer surgery causes trauma to the skin and surrounding tissue taking weeks to heal and leaving scars that can be inconvenient or uncomfortable. Surgery wounds can take longer if you have a medical condition or are taking certain medications, such as steroids.
Prophylactic surgery is preventive surgery that is done to remove an organ or gland that shows no signs of cancer in an attempt to prevent any cancer from developing in that organ or gland. Prophylactic surgery is performed when people who know they are at high risk for developing certain cancers. One example is prophylactic mastectomy where one or both breasts are removed for those who carry the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation. These individuals may be able to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer by 95%.
Other surgeries may be diagnostic, which is performed in order to attain a biopsy. Invasive surgeries are more invasive and are used to remove cancerous tissue.
Cancer Surgery Skin Care
For both pre and post-cancer surgery, NeoGenesis S²RM® products provide a natural approach to healing called “systems therapeutics”. Injured or damaged tissue need the molecules that were present when the tissue was healthy to be returned to the skin. Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, Urea and Collagen make up the skin, and are just some of the molecules involved in this process. They are also responsible for healing and maintaining the new healthy tissue. Providing the proper atmosphere to heal the wounded area quickly will minimize the chances of scarring or other unwanted side effects.
Our products strengthen the skin prior to surgery and calm and soothe skin irritation post-surgery. Before any surgery, it is important to prepare the skin for the procedure. Gently cleanse the area with the NeoGenesis Cleanser, followed by Recovery. Finish with Intensive Moisturizer or Barrier Renewal Cream to hydrate and support the skin’s barrier.
Keep the skin in a hydrated state after any surgery for optimal healing. Use the Moisturizing Mist and Barrier Renewal Cream or Intensive Moisturizer throughout the day to optimize healing.
Reviews:
“This male client had Mohs surgery for squamous cell carcinoma. Recovery serum was used twice daily, post surgery.” ~ Diane Mack, Caris Skin Care
Product: NeoGenesis Recovery
“I had a tumor about the size of a ping pong ball removed from my leg which left a large void and a very large incision. I was very upset about the size and knew I was going to have a nasty scar on my leg. My doctor recommended that I use NeoGenesis’ Recovery Serum on the wound, and I am so glad that she did. I am still amazed when I look at my leg, that it healed so well. I cannot believe how the void filled in completely, and the scar is so faint that I have to actually look for it. I am so thankful that I found your products, Recovery is so amazing.” ~ KC

“I want to thank NeoGenesis for the creation of your Recovery Serum, as it has helped me with several difficult situations. I have Addison’s Disease which slows down the healing process on everything with my body. I have also had multiple Melanoma and Basal cell removals. Using Recovery on my most recent procedures has reduced my healing time by 30%. Such a blessing.” ~ MO

“This client underwent Moh’s Surgery and 25 doses of radiation for morpheaform basal cell carcinoma (BCC). She had a BCC to the medial aspect of the right inner canthus which has been treated with 25 doses of radiation and is well-healed. She is really appreciative and thankful to have the products.” ~ Rhonda Sparr, Belle Ame Aesthetics

“… But the really good news is that I have been cancer-free since 2009, which is quite remarkable since only 20% of patients who have my kind of tumor live for 5 years. The current issues are the “collateral damage” these treatments and surgeries created, which include (among many others) recurrent tongue lesions and “rogue” granulation of the thigh tissue trying to become gum mucosa. The oral cream that Greg has developed has really helped these internal discomforts in some pretty remarkable ways. In fact, it actually helped prevent the need for yet another surgery just two weeks ago. After seeing these results, the MD Anderson team is very interested in learning more about this product.” ~ RS
“Thanks for following up on my Mohs surgery. I have sent 4 pictures that chronicle a 4 week healing process. Initially, I did not use the Recovery serum on the open wound, as instructed, and only used Manuka honey bandaids twice daily. As the wound began to close, I used Recovery serum around the perimeter of the still open wound, along with the Manuka honey bandaids. I continued to use Recovery serum twice daily until the wound was completely healed at 4 weeks. I am so grateful for your generosity in supplying me with your products, and I am very pleased with the results. People remark that you can’t tell that a lesion was removed from my nose. Thank you so much.” ~ HW
