On the Scene: Achieving Aesthetic Excellence 2017, London

The event, which was organised and supported by UK distributor Healthxchange Pharmacy, featured eight hours of presentations by clinical speakers including Dr Tapan Patel, Dr Uliana Gout and Dr Leah Totton. 

Dr Patel presented on advanced upper facial rejuvenation with dermal fillers and provided a live demonstration on a patient, advising on Allergan's MD Codes when treating the full face. Speaking after his presentation, Dr Patel said, “I hope my demonstration has expanded people’s treatment knowledge. There are a lot of practitioners who might just have one, two or three techniques that they do, but now, hopefully they will get access to many more treatment protocols.”

Among the other sessions were topics on the latest HIFU and RF technology by Dr Mike Comins, a sponsored Allergan presentation on seven steps to centric consultation with senior business developer Marcus Haycock, and a skin cell revitalisation workshop with Dr Julien Levy. There was also a speaking corner where question and answer sessions were held.

The event also featured an exhibition, with companies such as Allergan, Consentz, SmartMed, Obagi Medical and Healthxchange showcasing their latest products.

Marketing director of Healthxchange Pharmacy, Steve Joyce, said of the day, “I’m certainly hoping that people can take some practical experience of what they can do in their clinic. Hopefully they can consider some of the new treatments that are on offer and take something away so they can make an improvement to their business and give better treatments to their patients.”
