At Iron Beauty, we understand that cancer treatment can create unique challenges for the skin. We are proud to offer specialized Cancer Support Services led by a Certified Cancer Specialist who has completed advanced oncology skincare training.
Whether you are preparing for treatment, actively undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, recovering after treatment, or have a history of cancer, our team is here to provide safe, supportive care tailored to your individual needs.
Every treatment is customized based on your medical history, treatment plan, medications, provider recommendations, and current skin condition. Our goal is to help support skin comfort, hydration, barrier function, sensitivity, redness, dryness, and overall skin wellness while respecting the unique considerations of cancer care.
At Iron Beauty, we believe no one should have to navigate treatment-related skin concerns alone. We are committed to providing a trusted resource for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers throughout Wasilla, the Mat-Su Valley, and Alaska.
At Iron Beauty, supporting individuals through cancer treatment is deeply personal. As a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of healthcare experience, I have spent my career caring for patients during some of life's most challenging moments. Our goal is not simply to provide skincare services, but to create a safe, compassionate environment where patients feel supported, cared for, and empowered throughout their journey.
A Cancer Support Facial is a specialized skincare treatment designed specifically for individuals affected by cancer and cancer therapies. Unlike traditional spa facials, these treatments are carefully modified to account for treatment-related skin changes, medical considerations, and sensitivities.
Cancer therapies can affect the skin’s barrier function, hydration levels, circulation, healing response, and overall comfort. Our oncology-trained approach focuses on supporting the skin while avoiding ingredients, techniques, or protocols that may not be appropriate during treatment.
Every Cancer Support Facial begins with a thorough consultation to ensure your treatment is appropriate for your current health status and goals.
Cancer-supportive skincare may help support:
Customized treatments designed to support skin comfort before, during, and after cancer treatment.
Advanced oncology skincare education allows us to safely modify treatments based on your medical needs.
Professional product recommendations selected specifically for sensitive and compromised skin.
Every service is individualized and coordinated around your treatment history and provider guidance.
Education and support to help navigate skincare concerns throughout treatment and recovery.
A welcoming space focused on comfort, safety, and long-term skin health.
Our Cancer Support Facials utilize professional skincare products selected to support comfort, hydration, and skin barrier function during oncology-supportive skincare services, including:
Products are chosen based on their ingredient profiles, gentle formulations, and suitability for sensitive or compromised skin. Product selection is always individualized based on each client’s treatment history, current skin condition, provider recommendations, and personal skincare needs.
Every product is selected with skin sensitivity, comfort, hydration, and barrier support in mind.
At Iron Beauty Health and Wellness, we believe skincare support should continue at home. We offer oncology-conscious skincare recommendations designed to help support comfort, hydration, barrier function, and skin resilience between professional visits.

References such as “Recommended for Oncology Support,” “Selected for Oncology Care,” or “Recommended by Oncology-Trained Professionals” do not imply that a product is oncology-approved, medically approved, universally safe, or appropriate for every individual undergoing cancer treatment.
All product recommendations should be individualized based on a person’s treatment plan, medications, skin condition, current treatment status, and the recommendations of their oncology team and healthcare providers.

Cancer care extends beyond medical treatment. Our goal is to provide education and support that helps individuals make informed decisions about skincare throughout treatment and recovery.
We welcome collaboration with healthcare providers and caregivers to help ensure every client receives safe, appropriate support based on their individual treatment plan.
Whether you have questions about skincare ingredients, treatment timing, product selection, or post-treatment recovery, our team is here to help guide you with evidence-based recommendations and compassionate care.
Photobiomodulation (PBM), commonly known as red light therapy, is being studied in supportive oncology care. PBM is not a treatment for cancer. However, research suggests it may help support comfort, tissue recovery, and certain side effects associated with chemotherapy, radiation, and cancer treatment.
One of the strongest areas of research involves oral mucositis, or painful mouth sores, which may occur during chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Studies have shown that PBM may help reduce the severity, duration, and discomfort associated with oral mucositis in select cancer-treatment settings.
Researchers are also studying PBM for its potential supportive role in:
While early findings are promising, additional research is needed to establish standardized protocols and determine which individuals may benefit most.
Current evidence has not demonstrated an increased risk of cancer recurrence or progression when PBM is used appropriately as supportive care. However, treatment decisions should always be individualized.
At Iron Beauty Health and Wellness, we take a cautious, collaborative approach. Individuals with active cancer, a history of cancer, current or recent chemotherapy or radiation treatment, lymphedema, or complex medical conditions should consult their oncology team or healthcare provider before beginning PBM therapy.
PBM is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent cancer. It is offered solely as a supportive wellness modality.
Cancer treatment affects more than the disease itself. It can impact comfort, confidence, energy, skin health, and overall quality of life. Our goal is to provide evidence-informed supportive wellness services that complement medical care and help individuals feel supported throughout their journey.
We welcome collaboration with healthcare providers, caregivers, and oncology teams to help ensure every client receives personalized support aligned with their unique health needs and treatment plan.
We believe the best care happens through collaboration. When appropriate, we are happy to coordinate with your oncology team, radiation oncologist, surgeon, dermatologist, primary care provider, or other healthcare professionals to help ensure services are aligned with your treatment plan.
Every recommendation is individualized based on your diagnosis, treatment status, medications, provider guidance, and personal goals. Our role is to complement your medical care by providing supportive skincare and wellness services focused on comfort, confidence, and quality of life.
