Beauty & Self-Care During Cancer Treatment

Cosmetic Medical Procedures

After breast cancer treatment, the Friedman Center offers onsite cosmetic procedures, such as Botox and dermal fillers, to rejuvenate your skin. It’s all part of feeling whole again.

Cancer treatments such as chemo, radiation, and surgery take a toll on your body. Many women move into recovery looking for ways to revitalize themselves. Nutrition, exercise, and mindbody practices may be part of that journey. Cosmetic skin treatments are another way to refresh your outward appearance and help you feel more like yourself.

Medical-Grade Skincare

All of our skincare products are medical grade and backed by scientific research. They’re more effective and longer-lasting than over the counter solutions.

Skincare treatments include:

Neuromodulators. Injectable medications, such as Botox, that are used to relax wrinkles, alleviate pain from TMJ and migraines, and reduce excessive armpit sweating. Results typically last 3-5 months.
Dermal fillers. Injectable medications made from hyaluronic acid and similar substances, used to add volume and smoothness to the face. Dermal fillers can treat wrinkles around the mouth, thin lips, cheeks and temples that have lost fullness, tear trough, and the jawline and chin. Results typically last 6 months to 2 years.

Treatments are administered in our office by nurse practitioner, Nicole Stamm. Nicole is highly-trained in using these products to help women achieve noticeable but natural-looking results.

Customized Treatment Plans

Just as your preferences about breast reconstruction are unique and personal, so are your decisions around cosmetic skin treatments. We’ll create a custom regimen that meets your needs and helps achieve your personal goals.
