HOME CARE PROTOCOL
As soon as possible, we recommend conditioning the area that is to be radiated. This gives the skin the best opportunity to be in optimal condition before radiation begins.
Once radiation therapy starts, you can treat this area immediately following radiation each day. Just remember that you cannot apply anything to the treatment area 4 hours prior to receiving radiation. A protocol of Moisturizing Mist, Recovery and Barrier Renewal Cream used 2 -3 times daily may help strengthen and protect the skin from the side effects of radiation.
MORNING
STEP 1: Skip cleansing by using a warm washcloth to gently refresh your skin.
STEP 2: Spritz Moisturizing Mist to the radiated area.
STEP 3: Apply Recovery.
STEP 4: Apply Barrier Renewal Cream or Intensive Moisturizer.
STEP 5: Finish with your favorite mineral sunscreen.
EVENING
STEP 1: Cleanse with our gentle, gel-based Cleanser.
STEP 2: Spritz Moisturizing Mist to your face and neck.
STEP 3: Apply Recovery.
STEP 4: Apply Barrier Renewal Cream or Intensive Moisturizer.
Use Moisturizing Mist and Barrier Renewal Cream or Intensive Moisturizer throughout the day as needed for soothing relief.

RADIATION DERMATITIS
Undergoing radiation during cancer treatment can be extremely damaging to the skin. A common side effect of radiation is a skin condition called radiation dermatitis, also known as X-ray dermatitis or radiation burns. Concentrated exposure to radiation causes painful, red marks on the skin. As radiation treatment continues, the skin doesn’t have enough time between doses to heal. Eventually, the affected area of the skin breaks down. This causes pain, discomfort, and rashes. Many patients undergoing radiation will experience moderate-to-severe skin reactions that typically occur within the first two weeks of the treatment. Unfortunately, these reactions can last for several years after the radiation therapy is complete. It is important to work with your health care professional when dealing with radiation dermatitis. With the right approach, this side effect can be reduced or eliminated.
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.
The topical application of our advanced product Recovery serum, abundant in S²RM® molecules, may help with the symptoms of radiation dermatitis. Follow Recovery with our Intensive Moisturizer or Barrier Renewal Cream and apply as often as needed to calm the skin. Use Moisturizing Mist to cool and soothe the skin after treatments.
Along with the appropriate topical products, patients receiving radiation therapy should be advised to avoid sun exposure by covering the treated area with protective clothing or chemical free sunscreen. Avoid topical skin irritants, such as perfumes, deodorants, and alcohol-based lotions.
Our recommended NeoGenesis skin care products for radiation are oncology friendly and have a 100% money back guarantee. Our products will provide the skin with what it needs to remain strong and resilient throughout the radiation treatments.
