Oncology Support
Cancer treatments can cause a wide variety of side effects to the entire body. The use of powerful cancer fighting treatments including chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and drug therapy are known to cause some very serious skin, hair and nail issues that can range from mild discomfort to extremely painful and disfiguring.
Skin Changes + Side Effects from Cancer Treatments
Chemotherapy:
Chemotherapy is a total body cancer treatment. Side effects from chemo range from mild scattered 
rashes with redness and itching to severe, irritated rashes and open sores. The skin also becomes drier as chemotherapy reduces the amount of oil the glands secrete. This dryness compromises the skin’s barrier and makes healing more difficult.
Radiation:
Radiation is a localized cancer treatment. The skin can be irritated, swollen, and blistered, much like severely sunburned skin. After a few weeks, some patients develop radiation dermatitis. This form of dermatitis surfaces as dry, flaky, itchy and peeling skin in the area of the treatment. It is irritating and painful and once it occurs, it can continue for years.
Radiation treatments can also increase a person’s risk of developing skin cancer in the future.
Cancer Surgery:
Whether exploratory, preventative or more invasive, cancer surgery causes trauma to the skin and surrounding tissue taking weeks to heal and leaving scars that can be inconvenient or uncomfortable. NeoGenesis products can help to support your skin before and after surgery providing the nutrients your skin needs.
We believe in improving your quality of life, naturally. Prepare and strengthen your skin barrier to provide the best possible outcome so you can focus on your part: getting better.
Hair Loss + Side Effects
Hair loss is a common side effect of chemotherapy cancer treatments. For many, it is the most distressing part of cancer treatments. Our hair plays a big role in how we appear to others, how we see ourselves, and how we define ourselves. Hair loss can’t be hidden from view and threatens a person’s sense of self and personal image. It is a traumatic experience that is most often, temporary.
Nail Changes + Side Effects
Chemotherapy also affects our nails. There may be a line or even multiple lines and indentations related to the cycle of chemo treatment. These lines are not permanent and usually take approximately 6 months to grow out with the nail.
During this time, nails may become more brittle and discolored. The skin around the nails may become extremely dry. Be very gentle with your nails, keeping them clean and trimmed with clean nail scissors as needed.
Oncology Friendly Skin + Hair Products from NeoGenesis
Healing and preventing infection during + after cancer treatments is a must. NeoGenesis products contain the S²RM® molecules that naturally support the skin, delivering nutrient rich molecules to areas inflamed, sunburned and peeling from the effects of cancer treatments. NeoGenesis products can aid in reducing the discomfort of skin changes during chemotherapy.
Gently cleanse the skin with our Cleanser, then apply Recovery, twice daily for as long as needed. Recovery serum can be used on all areas of the body, including around the eyes.
Our most advanced product Recovery, abundant in S²RM® molecules is the product to use for skin support anywhere the body is affected from cancer treatments. Recovery serum naturally calms the skin where side effects exist. If additional hydration is needed, follow Recovery with Barrier Renewal Cream or Intensive Moisturizer and apply as often as needed to further calm + hydrate the skin, including the nail beds.
Our gentle and hydrating Moisturizing Mist may be used throughout the day to combat dryness and discomfort on the skin. It is calming + soothing.
For hair loss, NeoGenesis Hair Thickening Serum, NeoLash and NeoBrow products are formulated with S²RM® technology and other signaling molecules to strengthen + encourage hair growth in a natural, healthy way.
Ask your health care professional for recommendations on using these products to protect and support the skin affected by cancer treatments.

Condition: Chemotherapy
“I would like to say thank you so much for sending the products. I am completely in love. As you know I take chemotherapy, called Rituximab. The infusion caused a serious rash on my side. I have applied Nystatin powder prescribed by my doctor, but that requires at least a week for some relief and several weeks to totally heal. After just one treatment visit and the products they gave me (Recovery + Intensive Moisturizer) I am completely healed.” ~ HB

“All I can say to you is that I could not be happier with how things worked out. It is like a miracle as far as I am concerned. Unbelievable. I now look like a normal person, even without makeup on. Also the most important thing, no pain, which diminished pretty quickly when I started your products. I am thrilled with that and would recommend your products to anyone. In fact, when I go into my doctor for my 3-month check-up I will bring some information on it with me because they should be promoting it in their office if they are going to be doing those kinds of procedures and others. They do other types of surgeries there too.” ~ ES

A total of 33 treatments of proton radiation were received between August 2017 and September 2017. This was her second bout with breast cancer. The first occurred in 2001 and was also Intraductal Carcinoma in the right breast. She underwent two lumpectomies followed by a mastectomy and four rounds of chemotherapy.
“My skin was sore to the touch and as can be seen in the Day 1 picture. It is burned in what, I think, are varying levels of first degree burns. I felt very crispy. I put Recovery on last night and wanted to see if it worked. After 8-10 hours, I didn’t have to put any Lidocaine or Neosporin on. It felt so good, I did not want to put other products on. After one application, I can tell you I have not felt this kind of relief from any other products. I was convinced and began Day 2.” ~ DN

“My father is treated with Xeloda for recurrent colon cancer. He suffered from cracks and bruises on his hands, fingers, and feet after chemotherapy. When I ordered ‘NeoGenesis Recovery’ for the first time, I didn’t expect too much. Recovery is amazing. It helped to fix his different wounds. I am now ordering from you regularly. I don’t know how many people have the same problem after chemotherapy with Xeloda (which is the regular treatment for colon and breast cancer), but Recovery can be a huge help with cuts, bruising, swelling of joints, etc.” ~ EA

Condition: Radiation Dermatitis
“With a 2nd degree burn from a chemical peel, I was desperate for relief. Unfortunately, a plastic surgeon recommended a peel just 2 weeks prior to radiation. The peel was on my chest adjacent to my cancer, on my breast. The Recovery serum by NeoGenesis provided immediate relief. The blisters repaired and the skin smoothed out. The redness has dissipated and I am still seeing improvement. I am also using the Recovery serum on my breast and I am into the 9th day of radiation and not showing signs of redness. I plan to use the serum throughout radiation to prevent blistering and scarring.” ~ DW

“Love it. I’m going through Chemotherapy and my skin is very dry, or I should say WAS drying out. This moisturizer has my skin soft and supple again.” ~ AS – Art of Skin Care
Product: Intensive Moisturizer
Condition: Radiation Dermatitis
“Externally I suffer from severely burned facial and neck skin (I call it “mother of all laser peels”). About a year ago, I have had the brief opportunity to use some of the NeoGenesis skin serum and facial moisturizer, both of which really seemed to help with the residual redness of the skin on my face and neck. Both areas were still extremely sensitive and red after almost 7 years. Not anymore.” ~ RS

Condition: Chemotherapy
Condition Treated: Sores and rash on her legs (side effect of her chemo for Breast Cancer)
Patient Feedback:
“I had a severe skin reaction from two powerful chemotherapy drugs (Adriamycin / Cytoxin) that were administered every other day for four weeks. The worst reaction was on my legs which had raised red areas and many of these were blisters. We had tried Calendula Oil by Bodyceuticals. The rash would subside and then come back worse than before.
Tracy introduced me to NeoGenesis Recovery serum. I applied it twice a day to the affected areas. In one week, I had a huge improvement. The redness faded, the raised areas diminished, the blisters went away, and the itching stopped. Recovery serum is a miracle product. I highly recommend it to anyone with skin issues from chemo.” ~ CP

“This male client had Mohs surgery for squamous cell carcinoma. Recovery serum was used twice daily, post surgery.” ~ Diane Mack, Caris Skin Care
Product: NeoGenesis Recovery
Condition: Radiation Dermatitis
“I hope this finds you well and that NeoGenesis is thriving. Would it be possible to get some more Recovery, Skin Serum, and Moisturizer? They really seem to be helping with the radiation reaction redness and sensitivity. I had a facial today and the therapist commented that she saw major improvements over the last time (about 4 months ago), including reduced actinic keratosis on my nose. I attribute that to the NeoGenesis products, since they are what I am using.” ~ RS

“This patient was on topical chemo for 30 days and told to only use OTC Vaseline. Her face was bleeding. She was in significant pain and the itching was driving her absolutely insane. We did two applications of Recovery over the next 24 hours. She stated her pain and itchiness levels dropped substantially in 24 hours.” ~ T.L.

“I haven’t been diligent for my photos, but I can tell you the Recovery serum has really gotten rid of my radiation discoloring under my armpit. Very happy about that! Huge fan!” ~ SU
Product: NeoGenesis Recovery
“I had a tumor about the size of a ping pong ball removed from my leg which left a large void and a very large incision. I was very upset about the size and knew I was going to have a nasty scar on my leg. My doctor recommended that I use NeoGenesis’ Recovery Serum on the wound, and I am so glad that she did. I am still amazed when I look at my leg, that it healed so well. I cannot believe how the void filled in completely, and the scar is so faint that I have to actually look for it. I am so thankful that I found your products, Recovery is so amazing.” ~ KC
