Radiation

“This client was diagnosed with invasive ductile carcinoma of the right breast. She had surgery to have her lymph nodes removed. She then had 4 rounds of chemotherapy every weeks for 12 weeks. She had an adverse reaction to the chemo drugs so she stopped taking them. Her doctors then started radiation – 20 sessions in total, 5 days per week for 4 weeks. Due to her doctors wishes, she was advised to complete the radiation before starting the products. She was burned pretty bad. She had a team of doctors, but unfortunately, no dermatologist.

Once her radiation was complete, she started with NeoGenesis Recovery serum, Barrier Renewal Cream and Moisturizing Mist. The redness and discoloration was reduced. Very little peeling, which was surprising considering the extent of the burns. She loves how quickly the products absorb and that she doesn’t have to wait to get dressed in the morning. Her skin is looking good and she is feeling good!” – Holly Brown, Looking & Feeling Fab

Radiation therapy is one of the most common treatments for invasive ductile carcinoma breast cancer. While it is highly effective in killing cancer cells, it can also cause damage to healthy skin cells. This damage can lead to radiation burns on the skin, which may cause discomfort and pain.

Symptoms of radiation burns may not appear immediately after treatment and can take weeks to develop. Initially, the affected area may feel sensitive and itchy, followed by redness, blistering, and peeling. In severe cases, the skin can become ulcerated and may not heal properly, increasing the risk of infection.

To prevent or minimize radiation burns, it is important for patients to maintain good skin care during and after treatment. This includes keeping the affected area clean and dry, avoiding tight clothing that can irritate the skin, using mild soaps and lotions recommended by a healthcare professional, and protecting the treated area from direct sunlight.

NeoGenesis offers a line of skin care products that are oncology friendly. These products naturally prepare, strengthen, and support the skin by delivering nutrient-rich molecules to areas that are about to be treated, or are already inflamed, burned, and peeling. Our patented S²RM® technology is effective, yet gentle enough to be used on broken and damaged skin.
