What would you say about a place that is relaxing and rejuvenating especially for cancer patients? A place that provides an atmosphere where someone’s mind and body needs can be met while they’re undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, or having to deal with any type of cancer or skin disease? Magnifique?
Well, that’s what many are saying about the Spa Care Center in Boca Raton, the ultimate oncology spa. This unique facility provides clean and sanitary services dedicated to rallying the spirits and improving the appearances of those going through chemotherapy, radiation and aftercare or who are now in remission or cancer free. It’s a new treatment center designed exclusively to pamper cancer patients by making them look good and feel good about themselves during perhaps the most challenging time of their lives.
Over the last decade, physicians have diagnosed over 100,000 new primary cancer cases among Floridians. A need was born for innovative services designed to help cancer patients deal with the aesthetic side effects of sometimes harsh medical treatments they must endure.
“Facilities like these are a rarity, and so much of our overall wellness includes treatments outside of medicine. Even as a doctor, I suggest to my patients that taking time to do things that make you feel good are essential to one’s health. While it can be hard for cancer patients to find treatments that agree with their bodies, the Spa Care Center in a no-brainer; providing the latest in spa technology specific to those suffering through or finishing cancer treatment. I’m glad a place like this exists,” said Philippe Jeanteur, MD, Oncology Specialist.
Whether a woman or man is afflicted by an illness such as cancer, the services offered at Spa Care Center in Boca Raton, are sensitive to the needs of any cancer patient and offer an array of hard-to-find, innovative services and products/or skin care line designed to help cancer patients cope with snarling side effects while preserving and enhancing their self-esteem, so important to a full recovery.
The owners, Melanie and Pierre Jeanteur, from Paris France, started this venture after several members of their family suffered from cancer. They wanted to help others overcome the unpleasant consequences of cancer treatments and feel well and good about themselves, which is so important to a successful outcome.
They have selected specialized nail technicians and estheticians who have vast knowledge and expertise in this area and who have been intensively trained to provide this unique and specific care. This is a staff who understands the needs and special care required for cancer patients. They’re aware of products and services that help enhance self-esteem, improve appearance, uplift spirits, and offer inspiration at a critical time for cancer patients undergoing chemo and radiation and other stressful treatments.
Body and face care (massages, make-up, and permanent make-up) are offered with the aim of providing quality moments which strengthen client’s mental and psychological condition to better cope with the illness.
Treatments such as Foot Reflexology or better known as “zone therapy” are based on the relationship between areas of the body and internal organs to stimulate bodily functions that may have been compromised by cancer.
Spa Care Center offers many forms of treatments dedicated to addressing specific needs, including relaxation therapy, hydrotherapy, reflexology, scalp massage, belly packs, arm packs, foot reflexology technics, lower legs and foot treatments, scalp relaxation, facial and neck treatments, eyelash extensions, make-up and semi-permanent make up, care for eyes, lips, eyebrows, including waxing, spa manicures and pedicures, oncology skin treatments.
The center uses only products with proven effectiveness for people with sensitive skin. The Spa Care Center uses De La Terre Skincare from North Carolina, a therapeutic Skin Care system designed to relieve distressed skin. It is formulated with pure plant materials; nothing synthetic. These products work holistically and will not harm the skin or the body addressing issues of skin toxicity sensitivity due to chemo and radiation.
The center offers exclusively a UNIQUE Nail Polish from Paris, which is distributed in the U.S. exclusively by the Spa Care Center.
Spa Care Center’s competitive edge is based on superior customer service to men and women afflicted by cancer. The center suggests its clients arrive early for their appointment so they can learn about the products, services and treatments available. The center offers free, and private consultations. This helps determine what services best meet individual needs. Spa Care Center clients will feel welcome when they arrive and will have confidence in the center’s high standards of sanitation and sterilization as well as the spa’s policies and procedures designed with one thing in mind—looking and feeling stronger, during their battle.
