Is it safe to use Glycolics and Botox during Chemotherapy
We work in a medical Spa where we do these treatments, and my co-worker is going through chemo and wants to know if it is safe to do mild peels like glycolics and have Botox done.
I wouldn'tdo any treatments on the chemo patient - the reactions will not be the same, and could be very bad.
If she is performing the treatments, she should wear gloves at all times, and wash hands immediately if some gets on her skin.
No it is not safe to do any sort of peel or chemical treatment on a cancer patent that is going through chemotherapy or radiation therapy it makes the skin, tissues and muscles extremely vulnerable I have been a Master esthetician for 11 years and have worked in all sorts of spas including medical spas and they will not work on her with any chemicals or natural peels and depending on the cancer and how advance it is they won't do any type of massage on her unless she brings in a note from the oncologists that is treating her for the cancer. It is for her safety because any chemical treatment can burn her skin severely when having treatment for her cancer and any massage or body work could contribute to the cancer spreading. And they will not take the risk until they get the note from the Dr. and have her sign a waver that says that she will not go back on them for any damage caused by the treatments. Tell her good luck and god bless and to stay strong she is in my thoughts.
