WHAT IS ONCOLOGICAL AESTHETIC ? AND WHAT HELP HAVE TO THE PEOPLE WITH CANCER

 The world of aesthetics is very big, and one of the sectors is the oncological aesthetic. The oncological aesthetics are the specialisation of beauty and comfort with the objective of improving the external image and the emotions to improve the quality of psychology of the people with cancer. 

First of all, I will explain a little bit about cancer. Cancer is the development of abnormal cells that are divided without control and they can destroy the corporal tissue, and sometimes they can spread around the body. They are different types of cancers, but the most common is the breast, with more than 284.200 cases around the world every year. The next is prostate and lung cancer. 

When the people have the surgery to eliminate or take off the cancer, the people have oncological treatments, the chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and every therapy has alterations in all the body to remove the cancer. One of the alterations has the skin, for example, dry skin, irritation, eruptions, stinging, spots on the skin, tightness skin or more sensitive skin. The hands and feet have the same alterations of the skin, but also, have swelling, crawling sensation and cramps, moreover, the nails have also altered with the growth of nails with the oncological treatments. But more of the alterations know and have more visibility is the hair, where they are the total or partial loss of hair, the leather hairy is more sensitive. Also, when the people are doing the treatment their self-esteem is lost and they have changed and have depression. 

After this information I explain what oncological aesthetic is and because it is very important. It’s a discipline that helps to reduce the impact of the changes in appearance physically and alleviate some pains caused by the treatments, helping the patient feel better. They have different treatments to help the people with cancer, for example, treatments for the face and body, also, massages to help alleviate their malaise and they can support day by day. The oncological aesthetic is aimed at anyone of different phases of the illness, in the diagnosis, treatment or the recuperation. The treatments are designed for each person for their needs for each skin every moment. But also, every treatment is always an authorization for the doctor. Because each person has cancer is different for the other and they have their needs. 

THE DIFFERENTS TREATMENT OF ONCOLOGICAL AESTHETICS

• Facial and body treatments. 

• Massage relaxing and massage to take off contracture. 

• Treatment of the hands and feets.

• Corrective makeup or customised. 

HOW HELP THE ONCOLOGICAL AESTHETIC? 

The image is very important for the people, the people like feeling good by themselves, and it helps to confront the problems day by day. Also, with the help of the treatments they can minimise the negative effects of the oncological treatments like the dry skin, hyperpigmentation, redness,etc. and scarcity of sleep, that are being about the medicine. The medicine can help to get over the illness also, and have a negative effect on their self-esteem (depression and anxiety) and physically, and they pass a bad moment not only when they know they have cancer, also, with  the chemotherapy and radiotherapy. So, they fit the oncological aesthetic where they help with treatments and advice being their heroes in the eyes of the patients. 

The oncological aesthetic helps to physically form, for example,  to hydrate and contribute to the skin care, also, encourages the skin, the scalp and feet and hands. These treatments can help to heal the surgery, and the dry skin of the body. In psychology, the people with cancer have a good support as the beautician, where they help improve their image, making her aspect more brilliant, and not an ill skin. For many times, the people have cancer and looking at her better with the treatment or makeup, they cry because for a long time they have not seen in this form. Think about it’s little help, but for them it is a big support for all their happened. 

ADVICES TO IMPROVE OF THE SKINCARE

GOOD

Cosmetics for the people with cancer is very important to have good skin before and after the treatment of cancer. For that, I will mention tips to have a good skincare.

• Use eye contour gently, because it is more dry in this area and it can appear dry and bags. 

• Use lip balm for the dry lip and produce crack. 

• Use products pH neutro, any parfum and alcohol, and supply an effect calming. 

• The cream you need is cream with moisturizing, repairing the barrier skin, restructure the skin, vitamins are needed for your skin. Also, you can use it for your neck, hands and feets. 

• Use an electric razor when you need to take off the hair of the body and take short showers with lukewarm water. And when you end, take a shower dry your skin gently. 

• If your legs are swollen, use ergonomic shoes. 

• The most delicate part of the body is the armpit and groin because a part of the body doesn't have oxygen and the brooch is very delicate and has more hydratation. 

• Protect the skin with suncream of SPF50+  and don’t expose the skin in the sun to avoid the patch or hyperpigmentation. 

• You can use nail varnish without acetone. 

• Use cotton clothes to avoid rub.  

• After two years of have past the cancer and haver end the oncological treatment, they can do aesthetic treatment like of micropigmentation, carboxytherapy, revitalisation with hyaluronic acid, vitamins and treatments of radiofrequency, pressotherapy, lymphatic drainage and hydrotherapy.

BAD

• Don’t cut the cuticle and don’t take off the callus.

• Don’t rub your skin.

• Don’t do peeling, lymphatic drainage, waxing, micropigmentation, etc, because it damages the skin because it is more delicate and more thin than the normal.

• Also, don’t makeup your eye or put false eyelashes because for the weight and when remove the makeup you can lose more quickly the eyelashes also, with the glue in the eyelashes can produce more allergies and irritation in the eyelid.

• When you use a wig it is better don’t use glue because the scalp has more sensitivity and thin skin.
