“I feel very fortunate that my wife, an oncology trained Esthetician, knew about the amazing healing properties of NeoGenesis Recovery serum as I prepared to begin radiation treatments for prostate cancer. I started applying it to my skin just prior to beginning my eight weeks of daily radiation, applying it immediately after each treatment and again before bed. While waiting for my daily treatments I observed and heard other patients talk about the painful red lesions they were experiencing from radiation burns. But thanks to the daily application of NeoGenesis Recovery Serum, I did not experience any discomfort, redness, or sensitivity at all.
I’m very appreciative of the support we received from the NeoGenesis team — Leila and Steve — who checked in weekly, offering their guidance and expertise along the way and were always available for questions. Based on the success I experienced and the support we received, I strongly recommend the NeoGenesis products and team to patients and providers looking for a way to accelerate healing and reduce the discomfort associated with these aggressive treatments.” – Raymond C.
NOTE: Demarcation with swelling and redness where they had given him the hormone injection. He went to radiation the following week with a Band-Aid on since the skin was raw at that site. It looks like the Band-Aid adhesive may have burnt his skin. You can see the outline as to where the Band-Aid was. – Debbie Coffin, Skin Secrets by Debbie

RADIATION (PROSTATE CANCER)
Radiation therapy is one of the most common treatments for prostate cancer. It involves using high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. While this treatment can be very effective, it also comes with several side effects. One of the most noticeable and commonly experienced side effects of radiation therapy is skin irritation or damage.
The skin is the largest organ in the body, and it is also the first line of defense against external factors. During radiation therapy, the high-energy beams penetrate the skin and can cause damage to its cells. This damage can result in a range of side effects, including redness, dryness, itching, peeling, and blistering.
Depending on the location and intensity of radiation treatment, these side effects may occur in different areas of the body. For prostate cancer, the most commonly affected area is the lower abdominal and pelvic region, including the buttocks, thighs, and genitals. However, in some cases, radiation therapy may also cause skin reactions in other parts of the body.
The severity of skin side effects can vary from person to person. Some patients may only experience mild irritation or discoloration, while others may experience more severe reactions that can be painful and uncomfortable.
In addition to skin irritation, radiation treatment can also increase the risk of developing long-term skin problems such as scarring, changes in skin texture, and increased sensitivity to sunlight. It is essential for patients to take good care of their skin during and after radiation therapy to help minimize these risks.
Proper skincare is an essential part of managing the side effects of radiation. By being proactive and using the right products, patients can significantly improve their quality of life during this challenging period.
NeoGenesis skincare products, Recovery, Barrier Renewal Cream, and Moisturizing Mist are oncology friendly and designed to help alleviate mild to severe skin reactions from radiation treatment.
