Repêchage Professional Skin Care recently hosted a three day oncology training program for skin care professionals that was presented by Becky Kuehn, founder of Oncology Spa Solutions®. The content for the training course was created by Kuehn, who shared her knowledge, compassion, and experience working with cancer patients from two hospital programs that she created. With 31 years of experience and over six years dedicated to working with cancer patients, Kuehn provided intimate knowledge of the essential skills necessary to work with cancer survivors and enhance their quality of life. Under her guidance, attendees learned about oncology and its relation to skin care. The program's topics included: general oncology discussion for a better understanding of cancer; examination of cancer treatments and their effects; identification of side effects in order to create personalized, safe treatments; recognition of how a cancer diagnosis affects both physical and emotional health; comparison of ingredients in personal care products; exploration of the skin care professional's role in skin cancer; and discussion of marketing for the utilization of oncology skills in the professional's community. The training program also incorporated a hands-on demonstration that included Repêchage products and treatments.Want to read more?
