Tailored Skincare for Individuals Undergoing Cancer Treatments
Oncology Esthetics refers to a specialized field within esthetics that focuses on providing skincare treatments tailored to individuals undergoing cancer treatments or dealing with cancer-related side effects. Estheticians trained in oncology esthetics are equipped with the knowledge and skills to address the unique skincare needs and sensitivities of cancer patients, helping to alleviate discomfort, promote skin health, and enhance overall well-being throughout their cancer journey. With roughly two million new cancer diagnoses each year, learning how to work with clients who are dealing with cancer and/or medically reactive skin is a “must know.”

Oncology estheticians provide gentle, supportive skincare services tailored to reduce discomfort, soothe compromised skin, and restore a sense of relaxation and confidence during or after treatment.

These programs include theory, hands-on practice, and case studies covering cancer treatments, skin reactions, contraindications, product selection, and compassionate care techniques.
Do estheticians need special certification to work with cancer patients?
While it’s not legally required in all states, specialized certification in oncology esthetics is highly recommended—and often expected—when working with cancer patients. This training ensures estheticians have the knowledge and sensitivity to modify treatments safely, avoid contraindicated ingredients or techniques, and provide holistic care that supports both skin health and emotional well-being.
