Wellness for Cancer Skin Treatment

Una Battaglia, Eyre’s lead esthetician and owner, specializes in providing facial treatments tailored for individuals undergoing cancer therapy, including chemotherapy, radiation, and  lymphedema treatment.  Her expertise is rooted in her training, particularly through her partnership with Biologique Recherche.  Una brings  a unique perspective to her practice, having a background as a physical therapist with specialized training in lymphedema management of the extremities.  The experience has equipped her with a profound understanding of the lymphatic system and its crucial role in the body’s overall health and healing processes.

In her esthetician practice, Una applies this knowledge by offering manual lymphatic drainage specifically targeting at the head and neck areas.  This technique is particularly beneficial for individuals undergoing cancer treatment, as it helps to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and promote detoxification.  Biologique Recherche has equipped Una with extensive product knowledge and specialized manual techniques designed specifically for treating patients with cancer. These treatments are gentle yet effective, addressing both the physical and psychosocial side effects that cancer therapies can have on the skin and overall well-being of individuals.

Una's approach is deeply empathetic with  a comprehensive understanding of the patient’s journey through cancer treatment. She recognizes the unique challenges that cancer therapies pose to skin health, the body's internal balance, and the psychological state of patients. Importantly, Una emphasizes that skincare and body treatments do not contribute to the spread of cancer. Instead, she focuses on the lymphatic system, understanding its crucial role in cancer treatment and ensuring that her techniques are mindful and supportive of this aspect.

As a therapist trained by Wellness for Cancer, Una employs specialized manual techniques from Biologique Recherche. These techniques are aimed at soothing and hydrating compromised skin, facilitating lymphatic drainage, and providing comfort through compassionate hands-on care.

Overall, Una Battaglia's approach exemplifies a blend of advanced skincare knowledge, empathy, and specialized training, making her a trusted partner in supporting individuals undergoing cancer treatment through tailored facial therapies.
