Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments available and now we are using it for another indication: to decrease the appearance of pores.
Dr. Alex attended the 14th annual Vegas Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Dermatology conference from June 6th through 10th, 2018 at the Bellagio hotel and casino in Las Vegas, NV. This was the second consecutive year Dr. Alex attended this conference. The Vegas Cosmetic Surgery conference is organized by Dr. Randy Waldman of Lexington, KY. It attracts cosmetic physicians from all over the world from multiple specialties including dermatology, plastic surgery, head and neck surgery, and ophthalmology. There are many presentations on a variety of topics in the aesthetic field. Dr. Alex attended lectures on a variety of topics including best techniques for Botox and fillers, new fillers that will be on the market, new cosmetic products, laser technologies for facial rejuvenation, body contouring, and sexual pleasure, treatment of complications, chemical peels, treatments for cellulite, and microneedling. In addition, there was a separate track for practice management which included talks on recruiting and training staff, providing outstanding service to patient, optimizing efficiency, and marketing techniques. The education was outstanding and we will be making a number of changes to improve our practice. Dr. Alex also had the opportunity to see many colleagues including Drs. Patrick Bitter of Los Gatos, CA, Michael Gold of Nashville, TN, Kian Karimi of Rejuva Aesthetics in Los Angeles, CA, Saul Lahijani of Beverly Hills Institute of Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA, Vineet Mishra of San Antonio, TX, Paul Nassif of Beverly Hills, CA, Michael Persky of Persky Plastic Surgery in Encino, CA, Alexander Rivkin of Westside Aesthetics in Los Angeles, CA, Chris Robb of Nashville, TN, Peyman Simoni of Simoni Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA, and Sherly Soleiman of Cosmetic Injectables in Encino, CA. In addition, Dr. Alex visited the exhibit hall which featured booths from many companies such as Sciton Laser, Alastin Skin Care, Elta MD, and Real Self. This was another outstanding educational opportunity. Dr. Alex is committed to attending many such conferences to stay up to date on the latest techniques and technologies in the field of aesthetics. The next such conference will be The Aesthetic Show in Las Vegas, NV in July.
