Oncology Esthetics
Our why
A cancer diagnosis often brings physical, emotional, and lifestyle changes that can affect how a person feels about their skin, body, and overall well-being. The need for self-care, comfort, and human connection does not disappear during treatment—it often becomes even more important.
Our Oncology Esthetic Services are designed to support clients before, during, and after cancer therapies through safe, personalized, and compassionate care. Whether preparing the skin for upcoming medical oncological treatments, addressing changes such as dryness, sensitivity, and discomfort during therapy, or supporting long-term skin health after treatment, every service is adapted to the individual's needs and current condition.
Beyond skincare, these treatments provide an opportunity to reconnect with oneself, maintain important self-care routines, and experience a sense of comfort, normalcy, and well-being during a challenging time. Using products selected for sensitive and compromised skin and following oncology esthetics best practices, our goal is to provide supportive care that respects both the client and their journey.
Calming Comfort Facial
A gentle soothing treatment designed to help calm sensitive, reactive, and therapy-stressed skin. This facial focuses on reducing feelings of discomfort, dryness, and visible redness while supporting the skin’s natural balance and comfort.
Each treatment begins with a personalized skin analysis to carefully evaluate the skin’s current condition and sensitivities. Appropriate products and ingredients are then selected specifically for the client’s individual skin needs, always prioritizing comfort, safety, and skin integrity.
Price starting from $75 to $130
A deeply nourishing and hydrating facial created to replenish moisture, support the skin barrier, and restore softness and radiance to dehydrated skin. Ideal for skin experiencing dryness, tightness, or loss of comfort due to intensive therapies or environmental stressors.
Every treatment includes a professional skin analysis to ensure the most appropriate products and ingredients are selected for the client’s skin condition. Formulations are chosen with care to provide hydration, comfort, and support while respecting sensitive skin.
Price starting from $85 to $145
A fully personalized facial treatment tailored to the client’s unique skin condition, sensitivities, and concerns at the time of the appointment. This treatment allows the esthetician to adapt the facial according to the skin’s changing needs, whether the focus is soothing, hydration, nourishment, or overall skin comfort and wellness.
The treatment begins with a detailed skin analysis and consultation to determine the most suitable approach. Products and ingredients are carefully selected to ensure they are appropriate, gentle, and supportive for the individual client.
Price starting from $95 to $160

Testimonials
“As someone living with medical trauma after cancer, I’ve started to associate touch with pain, procedures, poking, and bad news. Before cancer, I never would have imagined that something as human and comforting as touch could become tangled up with fear and tension in the nervous system.
My treatment with Luisa was such a different experience. It felt safe, calming, gentle, and deeply restorative. For the first time in a long time, touch was not connected to illness or survival. It was connected to comfort, care, and relaxation. Honestly, it felt like an important step in helping my nervous system relearn that touch can be nurturing again.
Luisa is warm, professional, careful, and incredibly caring. Her years of experience working with people navigating cancer and recovery are so evident in the way she holds space and approaches treatment.
I highly recommend reaching out to Luisa if you are going through treatment, recovering post-treatment, or carrying medical trauma in your body. The experience meant far more to me than just skincare or relaxation — it felt healing on a nervous system level.”
