Oncology Aestheticians

Specialising in problematic skin conditions.

Oncology Aestheticians.

Oncology aestheticians, also known as oncology skin support therapists, are certified skincare professionals who specialise in providing safe and supportive skin & skincare services to cancer patients. They possess the training and expertise required to cater to the distinctive skincare requirements and issues that may arise for individuals undergoing cancer treatment, both during and after the process. Here’s more information about their role and the services they offer:

1. Specialised Training: Oncology aestheticians undergo specialised training and certification in oncology aesthetics. This training equips them with the knowledge and skills to understand the various cancer treatments, their potential side effects on the skin, and the importance of working within the medical framework of a patient’s treatment plan.

2. Collaborative Approach: Oncology aestheticians work collaboratively with oncologists, nurses, and other healthcare providers (where possible) to ensure skincare services are safe and complementary to the patient’s overall treatment plan. They consult with the medical team to understand the patient’s health status, treatment protocols, and any contraindications.

3. Addressing Side Effects: Cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy can have adverse effects on the skin, including dryness, sensitivity, and radiation burns. Oncology aestheticians use gentle, non-irritating skincare products and techniques to alleviate these side effects and provide relief to patients.

4. Customised Skincare: They create personalised skincare regimens tailored to each patient’s specific needs and skin type. These regimens often focus on hydration, soothing, and protecting the skin from further damage.

6. Emotional Support: Oncology aestheticians often serve as a source of emotional support for patients. They listen to their concerns, provide reassurance, and offer a sense of normalcy and self-esteem through their services, helping patients feel more confident and comfortable with their appearance during treatment.

7. Scar Management: For patients who undergo surgery as part of their cancer treatment, oncology aestheticians may offer scar management techniques to minimise the appearance of surgical scars.

8. Safe and Gentle Treatments: They use skincare products and treatments that are free from harsh chemicals, fragrances, and other ingredients that could potentially irritate sensitive skin or interact negatively with cancer treatments.

9. Education: Part of their role is to educate patients about proper skincare practices during and after cancer treatment. They provide guidance on maintaining healthy skin, which can be especially important as patients transition to survivorship.

10. Certification and Professional Organisations: Oncology aestheticians may seek certification from organisations like Oncology Training International (OTI) to demonstrate their expertise in this specialised field.

Treatments And Support.

Overall, the primary goal of oncology aestheticians is to enhance the well-being and quality of life of cancer patients by addressing their unique skincare needs and providing a supportive and safe environment for skincare and beauty services. Their role is an essential part of the comprehensive care provided to cancer patients.

Lynda Bergin

Paula is always so thorough, attentive, and always goes above and beyond for her clients. I am always being educated on my skin and her advice and recommendations are always welcome due to her decades of study, qualifications, and experience in the industry. "

Joanne Dreier

Each treatment is thoroughly relaxing, and it is always a pleasure spending time with Paula. Her products are divine for my at home care and my skin has never felt better!"

Danielle MacDonald

Great experience with good results always. "

Sue Crosby

"What a wonderful clinic! I have been coming to Paula for many years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. She is warm and welcoming but above all knowledgeable and passionate about skin. I have allergies and skin cancer scars and she has helped me immeasurably both with my skin and in educating me about my skin! Brilliant work! Thank you, Paula!"

Patricia Ashley

"Paula is always open to any concerns/issues that I raise with her. She generally asks a few clarifying questions and is then able to provide insight into why the issue/concern is occurring, and how it can be resolved. Paula outlines each stage of her treatments, including why she is using a particular product, how it will make me feel, and the long-term benefits. I always leave my appointments feeling relaxed and with a bit more knowledge about my skin and/or the products I use. My skin care regime is personalised by Paula to suit my individual requirements, and it is easy for me to manage and maintain. As a result, my skin always feels healthy and presentable in its natural state, which gives me the confidence to go out and about without having to hide my face behind make up. "

Joanne Perkins

"I have been seeing Paula for about five years now. Paula is unlike other therapists I have seen before in that her knowledge and passion for skin health is second to none. Paula not only understood my concerns about my skin, but proactively searched and implemented new cutting-edge equipment and products to aid my concerns. I have found Paula's treatments to be amazing, and I feel completely looked after and safe in Paula’s hands. Not only are Paula’s treatment successful in keeping my skin youthful looking, but they also keep my skin healthy. Thanks Paula!"
