Treating patients is not always about prescribing a medicine or performing a surgery. Sometimes, it’s about listening or showing them you care.
Patients battling cancer can benefit from oncology esthetic treatments as they are often fighting battles on multiple fronts, impacting their world both internally and externally. Monika Orfanakos, our Medical Aesthetician and Laser Specialist has treated hundreds of oncology patients over the last 30 years ,especially when working at the Lankenau Hospital. Monika is a breast cancer survivor and knows personally how radiation and chemotherapy can take a serious toll on patient skin and the entire body. During the treatment we use only pharmaceutical -grade products that are specifically designed for cancer patients.Dr. Morgenstern has pioneered extended research in oncology and has developed several patents on medications and methodologies that can help prevent complications from chemotherapy. Our goal is to create an opportunity for family, friends, and patients themselves to participate in the healing process in a safe haven of specialized care.
Oncology skincare is meant to soothe the side effects of cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, medication, surgery, and radiation. Oncology skincare treatments are appropriate for anyone currently undergoing treatment, in recent recovery, or long-term survivorship. Depending on the type of cancer treatment the patient is currently undergoing, as well as what their current side effects are, the treatment will be tailored to their specific needs. Treatments will often involve acupressure or modified massage, calming and hydrating products and ingredients, while avoiding overstimulation in the skin with things like harsh exfoliants or steam. All Philadelphia Oncology Esthetics treatments will begin with a thorough skin analysis and health history.
Dr. Morgenstern and our staff dedicate time to thoroughly understanding your vision during your consultation. It is important to us that all your questions are answered so we can ensure a personalized approach to natural-looking results. We look forward to guiding you on your journey to enhanced confidence and beauty.
