Led by the Aesthetic Medicine UK team, renowned doctors from India too were part of this two-day mega online event, organised on January 25-26, 2021.

• Connecting the dots from discussion to delivery to a loyal patron.

• How through cosmetic consult, can you assess the patients’ needs, profile and personality?

• How can you position procedures and skin care accurately?

• Why prioritise skin care and anti-aging goals for your patients?

• Why is it important to balance technical skills vs soft skills, and how can that be achieved?

Further, Dr Madhuri Agarwal, Dermatologist and Founder & Medical Director, Yavana Aesthetics Clinic in India, delivered a session on ‘Procedural Treatment of Acne and Acne Scars: The whole nine yards’. Acne is strikingly visible, and patients try out various products and treatments for quick fixes, but in vain. Poor patient compliance, lack of durable remission, and potential side-effects are common drawbacks to conventional therapeutic treatments. But physical modalities for acne and acne scars are quick, safe, and novel treatment options for patients. Also, appropriate patient selection, patient education and combining various modalities can ensure a satisfactory outcome.

So, what are these novel treatment options? How do we ensure appropriate patient selection and how do we combine various modalities to ensure a satisfactory outcome? Dr Agarwal joined us live to share all these details making the session as informative and insightful.
