Image Recovery Center®
One of the most difficult things cancer patients face is the effect of treatment on their appearances. Cancer treatments, dialysis, accidents, burns and diseases such as lupus can cause a great deal of trauma to the body, dramatically altering body image.
The Image Recovery Center® is an appearance enhancement service designed to help patients deal with the scarring, skin changes, hair loss and other consequences of disease, injury or treatment. The center's mission is to help patients heal by restoring appearance and body image. By relieving anxiety and concerns related to appearance, center staff work to enable patients to be more active, informed participants in their recoveries.
The Image Recovery Center carries products that have been selected based on their ability to address the needs of cancer patients during and after treatment. Products are natural, hydrating, therapeutic and formulated to repair altered physical appearance as a result of treatment. Services and products include:
- appearance consultation (complimentary)
