Pharmaceutical company Galderma welcomed press and specialty guests to an intimate dinner event at Hotel Café Royal, London on October 8.
The evening featured presentations from international guest speakers Dr Luiz Avelar, plastic surgeon and aesthetic practitioner, alongside dermatologist and aesthetic practitioner Dr Sabrina Fabi. The pair spoke on the importance of a holistic approach to skin quality, and observations from their clinical experience with Sculptra and Restylane.
Dr Avelar highlighted the growing demand for skin quality treatments, noting that nine out of 10 patients express concern about skin quality. He explained that Sculptra and Restylane target different needs, and that combining Sculptra and skin boosters can enhance hydration, radiance and promotie collagen and stem cell activity.
Dr Fabi discussed visual cues of ageing, noting that wrinkles contribute more strongly to perceived age than pigmentation or volume loss. She outlined four pillars of skin quality, firmness, surface evenness, tone evenness and glow, explaining how treatments like Sculptra, skin boosters and Alastin skincare can address each.
René Wipperich, general manager of Galderma UK&I, commented, “Tonight’s event on skin quality was a wonderful evening. I’m thrilled that we were joined by such esteemed speakers like Dr Fabi and Dr Avelar, who brought the science of Sculptra and Restylane Skin Boosters and their practice to life – not only through the theoretical details they shared, but also through our patient testimony who shared her own journey with the treatments.”
