Restorative Oncology
Skin Rejuvenation, Hair Restoration and Weight Loss Management for Cancer Survivors
​
This one of a kind service is tailored for the cancer survivor.
Cancer treatment can lead to various skin changes, such as rashes, dryness, and changes in skin pigmentation, thinning or loss of hair, and weight changes that can affect the appearance of your skin.
At Muse Medical Artistry, we are proud to offer 7 years and counting of oncologic experience with a comprehensive knowledge on these diagnoses, their treatments, and the changes that happen as a result. Restorative Oncology is a space that not only acknowledges, but encourages the conversations surrounding the aesthetic needs and desires of the cancer survivor and thriver. Our restorative oncology services are tailored to achieve restoration and rejuvenation of your skin and hair.
Hair Loss and Regrowth for Cancer Survivors
Chemotherapy targets rapidly dividing cells, which include hair follicles. This can lead to hair loss on the scalp and other body areas. Our restoration treatments, such as microneedling, stimulate natural hair growth by stimulating collagen production, rejuvenating your hair follicles and improving scalp health. This minimally invasive procedure promotes thicker, healthier hair.
Skin Changes and Care for Cancer Survivors
Common skin issues experienced due to cancer treatments can lead to dryness, sensitivity, and changes in pigmentation. Skin may also become more prone to irritation. We offer treatment plans including microchanneling, biostimulators, and dermal fillers to promote rejuvenation of your skin's appearance.
​
Microchanneling works to restore your skin's radiance by stimulating collagen production. Biostimulators help address collagen and volume loss globally across the face. And, dermal fillers, strategically placed in areas of the face can improve skin volume and structure loss.
Weight Management for Cancer Survivors
Cancer treatments often result in weight changes, whether due to hormonal imbalances, medication effect, or energy changes. Through a combination of behavioral support and prescription medication treatment, Muse Medical Artistry is helping patients return to their goal weight.
“In my many years of oncology practice, patients have often opened up to me about restoring certain aesthetic aspects after treatment. Too often, my patients are reluctant to talk about these concerns in fear of appearing vain in the face of surviving a potentially lethal disease. From hair changes, to volume loss, I am here to tell them these concerns are valid, and just as important to address as other recovery processes. This is an area that has been neglected for far too long. At Muse, I am not only normalizing this conversation, but empowering patients to feel confident and comfortable about their aesthetic desires and goals."

Our Restorative Oncology Approach
The Journey to Restoration will begin with a detailed consultation where we will discuss your diagnosis and cancer treatment history​, followed by your concerns and goals. During this in-person evaluation, we will examine all aspects of your aesthetic wellness and develop a comprehensive oncology restoration plan including recommended services, timeline and budget.
​
Your treatment plan may include a combination of the following:
Microchanneling
Following intensive treatment, skin can be left looking dull with unwanted texture, discoloration and laxity. Microchanneling works to restore skin's radiance by stimulating collagen production, leaving skin more plump and youthful. It can also reduce the appearance of scars, and can help restore hair loss following chemotherapy or estrogen-blocking therapies.
Biostimulators
Biostimulators help address collagen and volume loss globally across the face. In fact, this was initially studied in chronically ill patients who had suffered severe facial volume loss. After injection, this works continuously over several months to stimulate your body to produce collagen, leaving the skin glowing, and plump.
Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler
In certain cases, facial fat pad loss following treatment can be significant. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies and is the main component in dermal HA fillers. These are strategically placed in areas of the face that have experienced volume or structure loss. Results are immediate, and last 12-16 months.
Weight Management
Cancer treatments often result in weight changes, whether due to hormonal imbalances, medication effect, or energy changes. Through a combination of behavioral support and prescription medication treatment, we are helping patients return to their goal weight.
