Essential aspects of an oncology massage therapist’s skill set are an informed understanding of the disease itself and the many ways it can affect the human body; the side effects of cancer treatments, such as medications, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation; and the ability to modify massage techniques in order to adapt for these side effects, as well as for the disease.

How Oncology Esthetics Differ
Skin Healing Treatments
This treatment addresses the specific needs and concerns of patients undergoing all phases of cancer therapy, as well as recovery and survival, and is customized every step of the way.
Oncology Massage
Oncology massage is the modification of existing massage therapy techniques in order to safely work with complications of cancer and cancer treatment.
Hand, Foot, and Scalp Treatments
A perfect treatment for those who are undergoing more aggressive therapies where there is less ability to work on the body but who will still benefit from the relaxation experience.
How It Works
Skin changes are common during hematology & oncology therapies due to a number of reasons and are frequently the result of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, medications, or some combination thereof.
Clinical oncology esthetics in Fort Collins provides comfort and relief through skin therapy treatments (facials, skin, body care and cosmetics) for clients undergoing treatment for, or recovering from cancer. Xanadu’s oncology facials, scalp treatments, hand and foot care, and gentle body care are tailored for each individual. Treatments are designed for individuals whose skin has been negatively affected by cancer treatment.
What to Expect
Treatments that involve skin care during chemotherapy are customized to the patient, their type of cancer and their medical treatment regimen to help comfort and soothe side effects of therapy. Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or would like more information regarding our skin care for chemotherapy.
