Before Image RecoveryThe Image Recovery Center(r) is a comprehensive hospital-based appearance enhancement program available to cancer patients. Image Recovery is an integral part of oncology treatment services at Alegent Health and is designed to help patients prepare for appearance changes they experience due to chemotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery. The Image Recovery Center is staffed by clinically-trained cosmetologists who understand the side effects associated with cancer treatment.

Clinically Trained
Because the Image Recovery Center at Alegent Health is rooted in medical science, our clinical cosmetologists, certified breast fitters and massage therapists have been trained to provide servies especially for oncology patients. But more importantly, they can be a comforting voice of experience at a very vulnerable time.

What to Expect
How the hair, skin and nails are affected varies depending on the type of cancer and the therapy being administered. At your initial consultation, which is free of charge, we'll help you develop a comprehensive image plan designed around your goals. Because this can be such a stressful time, our services are provided in a spa like setting that is peaceful and relaxing.

    Massage

    The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) sees the use of massage for people with cancer as a safe and good practice. At Alegent Health, our massage therapy is an important component of our Image Recovery Center, helping patients heal their spirits and cope with the illness by addressing temporary and long-term physical changes.

    Massage can do several helpful things for you:

    • Relax muscles
    • Increase your circulation
    • Help you sleep better
    • Help you to feel better
    • Give you a connection with someone else
    • Calm you if you are restless and perk you up if you're feeling down
