Rejuvenation with neurotoxin and fillers.
Live patient demonstration course

Location:  “The Stockholm room” Grand Hôtel, Stockholm
Date:  Friday, 18 May, 2007
Time:  09.00–11.00
Presenters:  Dr Philip Levy, Switzerland Dr Mauricio deMaio, Brazil Facial rejuvenation has changed immeasurably over recent years to encompass art, science and a holistic approach to our patients.

However, as our experience grows we can all still further refine our procedures, improve the subtlety of our techniques and results and learn from our colleagues, both by sharing data and importantly practical advice.

This live demonstration session has been developed by Dr De Maio, a Plastic Surgeon from Brazil, and Dr Levy, an Aesthetic Dermatologist based in Switzerland, to share the pearls of their established aesthetic clinical practice.

These two internationally recognised and highly experienced aesthetic practitioners will work together providing you with their own views of each patients needs. Each of them will then share their advice on how to combine treatments for maximum effect and demonstrate their techniques using VISTABEL® and HYDRAFILL® Softline™ to achieve the optimal aesthetic goals on a range of different patient problems.

The course will run for 2 hours with the experts providing a live in depth demonstration via video link where they will first assess 4–5 patients and then demonstrate their treatment approach and early results for the audience.

You will have plenty of opportunity to ask questions of the two experts via the chair of the session about their techniques and the procedures whilst they are working.

We anticipate attendees leaving this workshop with new ideas for treating challenging faces, a deeper understanding of how to deal with asymmetries and new skills to optimally manage facial rejuvenation for an individual.
