This comprehensive course, designed for the physician, nurse and aestheticians, provides participants a review and update of cosmetic medicine options focused on minimally invasive rejuvenation of the face and body. Treatment rationale and clinical applications for a variety of modalities will be covered including the use of skin care, photodynamic therapy, lasers, radiofrequency therapy, injection lipolysis, non-invasive ultrasound, injectable botulinum toxin type A and the variety of soft-tissue fillers available today. Live patient treatments are interspersed throughout the day to enhance the educational experience. Besides focusing on patient safety, the course will emphasize how these minimally invasive cosmetic options can have a positive economic impact on the plastic surgery practice. A panel discussion will review the business aspect of the plastic surgery practice covering issues such as investing in the right technology for your practice and how to determine break-even points.
