“NeoGenesis is a 5-star skincare line and an A-TEAM. It doesn’t get much better than that. This company truly cares and wants to help people. A rarity in the cosmetics industry, where making money is most companies’ primary goal.
Being diagnosed with breast cancer was scary to say the least. With open arms, the NeoGenesis team embraced me and cared for me like I was family. Checking in on me weekly with kind emails and phone calls. I would go as far as to say that their products are essential for anyone going through radiation. I know without the use of them, my skin would be an entirely different story.
I am beyond grateful for the care and effectiveness of these life-changing products. Kindness + amazing products! Two things you can 100% count on with the NeoGenesis Team.” – Debbie K.

RADIATION (BREAST CANCER)
Radiation therapy is a common treatment for breast cancer, targeting cancer cells and minimizing the risk of recurrence. However, it’s not without its downsides, particularly when it comes to the skin. Patients undergoing radiation therapy may experience several side effects on the skin in the treated area, which can range from mild to severe and generally become more noticeable as treatment progresses.
Initially, patients might notice redness and warmth, similar to sunburn. This condition, known as erythema, can vary in intensity. In more severe cases, the skin might feel tender or painful to touch. Following or alongside erythema, dryness and peeling may occur, often starting as a dry flakey peel and potentially progressing to a wet peel, where the outer layer of skin comes off, exposing a moist surface underneath. This condition is not only uncomfortable but also increases the risk of infection.
Hyperpigmentation is another possible side effect, where the treated skin becomes darker than the surrounding areas, resembling a tan. This change is usually temporary, but for some, it may persist for a longer period. In rare instances, radiation can lead to more severe skin reactions, such as blistering and ulceration, which are painful and require medical attention to manage the risk of infection and aid in healing.
To manage these side effects, healthcare providers often recommend gentle skin care routines, avoiding harsh chemicals, and applying prescribed topical treatments. They might also suggest wearing loose, soft clothing to prevent irritation.
NeoGenesis products are specially formulated to address the unique needs of clients undergoing cancer treatments, such as dryness, irritation, and damage to the skin barrier function. Using NeoGenesis products, clients can help maintain healthy, hydrated skin throughout their treatment journey.
