The scars’ management from “A” To “Z” – Bologna – Italy

Posted on by Matteo Tretti Clementoni
Also this time dr. Francesca Negosanti has organized a nice course/congress. It was so emotional to come back to the same places which I had graduated from 25 years ago. A monothematic course about the scars’ treatment took place at the Hall Murri of The Sant Orsola-Malpighi Polyclinic. After a general introduction on the process of the wound healing and the possible medical therapy of pathological scars, I presented my algorithm of the scars’ treatment (already presented at the SCAR2 meeting ...

Posted on by Matteo Tretti Clementoni
When you are taking part in a some Congress, it does not mean you will be able to listen to others there. Like every year at the end of may (this year from 18 to 20), there takes place the Congress of Aesthetic Medicine in Rome, the most important Congress of Italy. The Congress is the occasion of innumerable meetings and this, often, make impossible to listen to the reports of other colleagues. I started describing my experience in the use of a picoseconds’ laser, trying to highlight the extr...

British Burn Association Annual Meeting 2018 – Swansea – United Kingdom

Posted on by Matteo Tretti Clementoni
It was a great honour for me to have been invited to the annual congress of the British Burn Association by Mr. Jeremy Yarrow. There I introduced my experience in the treatment of severe burn scars with an ultrapulsed CO2 laser. It is not very easy to get to Swansea (first a flight from Milan to London, and then 4 hours by car), but the university campus at Swansea University, where the event took place, was worth of this journey. The Swansea University Bay Campus is located close to the ocean...

AMWC 2018 Meeting – Monte Carlo – Principality of Monaco

Posted on by Matteo Tretti Clementoni
This year I repeated my experience of the previous year. I didn't attend the Сongress (which has a very interesting part that concerns the injectables but much less interesting part regarding the energy based devices) but I went to Monte Carlo for the symposium of Lutronic. This year, at Symposia L, were such relators as dr. Ali Kerim Diler, who has described his experience with the thulium laser LaseMD, and dr. Simon Lamquin, who has described his experience with the picosecond laser Picoplus...

SCAR 2 – Tel Aviv – Israel

Posted on by Matteo Tretti Clementoni
It was the best Congress on scars I have ever attended. A star Faculty met for the second time (the first was last year) to describe and share a personal experience on the treatment and prevention of scars. It would be too long to describe every single relationship but the Congress ranged from basic research to the therapy, surgical and laser. Gerd Gauglitz (Munich – Germany), Ardeshir Bayat (London – United Kingdom) and Geoffrey Gurtner (Stanford – California, USA) have described initially th...

3rd Congress of the GILD (Italian Group for Laser Dermatology) – Rome – Italy

Posted on by Matteo Tretti Clementoni
A simple touch and go for me this time at the Congress of the GILD at Rome. The friend and plastic surgeon Carlo Di Gregorio (Palermo) has had the assignment to organize a session related to the facial rejuvenation. Then, he decided to involve me and dr. Ivano Iozzo (Bologna). I think the members found the session really interesting. Dr. Iozzo has magnificently described the use of botulinum toxin in the facial rejuvenation trying to highlight the safety of this medicament. Dr. Di Gregorio has...

The 21st Congress SIES – Bologna – Italy

Posted on by Matteo Tretti Clementoni
Also this year Fiera of Bologna has hosted the annual SIES Congress (the twenty-first edition). A short stop in Milan after the flight from Israel has separated me from this usual every-year commitment. During the first day, I described my experience in the combined treatment with non-ablative laser and skinboosters of the hands’ and facial aging. The second day I was a speaker two times at the session Aesthetic Medicine versus Surgery. I described the laser treatment of the eyelids with fract...

Annual Congress of the Israeli Society of Burns – Tel Aviv – Israel

Posted on by Matteo Tretti Clementoni
When the past comes back. I was a student in medicine (more than twenty years ago) and I was attending the Department of Plastic Surgery of the Sant'Orsola Polyclinic in Bologna when I met a young student like me. His name was Josef Haik. Now he is Director of the Plastic Surgery Department of the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Aviv and this year he invited me to present my experience in the use of ultrapulsed CO2 laser in the treatment of burn scars. In an informal ambiance, I have heard wonderf...

IMCAS 2018 – Paris – France

Posted on by Matteo Tretti Clementoni
This year in Paris was held the twentieth edition of IMCAS. I remember, there were not many members at the first editions and the speakers were almost exclusively European. This year, there were more than 8000 members, and, at least, a third part of the speakers came from non-European countries. I started my tour-de-force moderating a session organized by the Laser Groupe of the French Dermatology Society. A new format in which were presented 50 clinical cases and the faculty members were aske...
