Course Description
The greatest challenge we face today is staying
current with the rapid advances in laser & aesthetic
skin therapy. Our patients, demand for such services
has resulted in the need for physicians to be better
educated and trained in safe and effective practices. At
present, few non-industry-sponsored meetings exist for
those who practice laser and aesthetic skin therapies.
The course objectives emphasize new techniques and
technologies along with clinical endpoints and laser
safety, while also critically evaluating current treatment
practices, free of commercial interference from industry.
The course objectives will
emphasize new techniques
and technologies while
also critically evaluating
current treatment
You will leave the course with an understanding of new
laser treatment paradigms, emerging technologies such
as non-invasive treatment of fat, and why some current
practices are irrational or based upon weak evidence.
This will be a critical, well-informed, clinically relevant
course that emphasizes proper patient evaluation and
aesthetic technique. The information will be presented
by our senior faculty and clinicians in the form of
lectures, live demonstrations, workshops, panels, Ask
the Expert, and discussion sessions.
