Personalized Dermatology: Clinical and Cosmetic Care - On-demand Version
Please note that this is the on-demand version of the course - the live event was recorded on July 25-26, 2020.
DESCRIPTION
With over 1,000 skin conditions and many cosmetic therapies, dermatology is a multi-billion dollar industry that is projected to grow substantially in the next years. Serving as the interface between the body and the outside world, the skin not only performs vital protective and communicatory functions, but also plays a significant role in an individual’s cosmetic appeal. Considerable advancements in skin physiology knowledge, new research, and innovations in technology have led to many developments in dermatological treatments and greater insights on the individual variation and uniqueness of this organ. From naturally occurring between-person variations including skin structure, function, and composition depending on genetic makeup, to environmental exposure, age, ethnicity, and sex, the skin is particularly characterized by unique allergies, sensitivities, intolerances, and response to therapy. These individual variations dictate a person’s predisposition for and severity in expression of a variety of dermatologic conditions and response to treatment. Personalized dermatological solutions are warranted and in high demand.
Targeted to pharmacists, general practitioners, dermatologists and other healthcare providers looking to expand their repertoire in dermatology, this 2-day seminar explores personalized treatments for common dermatological conditions and opportunities in cosmetic care with focus on non-surgical topical therapy.
- Dermatitis, psoriasis, alopecia, wounds, scars, acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles – let’s get down to business!
- Safety, efficacy, and dosing data for 80+ ingredients
