South Shore Skin Center Esthetician Earns Certification, Extends Spa Treatments to Those with Cancer

Mary F. Rico
Plymouth based esthetician Mary F. Rico has completed certification in Clinical Oncology Esthetics® and expands South Shore Skin Center’s practice to serve individuals with, or recovering from, cancer. The certification prepares professional estheticians to provide safe, personalized spa treatments to individuals with health-challenged skin and is earned through Clinical Oncology Esthetics® training facilitated by Touch For Cancer.

Through Clinical Oncology Esthetics® (COE), Ms. Rico underwent extensive training in understanding how cancer and therapy treatments affect the body at the dermal and lymphatic level. The program explored the side effects of cancer therapies, how those are further compounded by various medications and the importance of proper sanitation to support weakened immune systems. Certification also required Ms. Rico to learn how to perform gentle, yet effective protocols using compatible skin care ingredients.

“Beyond keeping South Shore Skin Center on the cutting-edge, this certification will allow me to safely serve a new and very deserving base of individuals with health challenged skin,” Ms. Rico said. “My goal is that through the power of the esthetic touch, I can provide a soothing escape for individuals battling cancer.”

“Estheticians work with the largest organ on the human body – the skin,” said Morag Currin, founder of Touch For Cancer. “Understanding how to safely and effectively treat the skin, particularly when it is challenged by cancer is paramount to the psychological and physical care of the client.”

Ms. Rico will offer the specialized treatments beginning on April 1, 2013 at South Shore Skin Center in Plymouth located at One Scobee Circle, Unit 3.
