The 41st Annual Convention of the Philippine Dermatological Society – Manila – Philippines

The 41st annual Congress of the local Society of Dermatology was held at the Shangri-La Hotel in Manila from 7 to 9 November 2018. I arrived very late in the night before my intervention. I performed a keynote lecture on the use of the picosecond laser Discovery Pico in the treatment of various pathologies. This laser can be used both for the removal of tattoos and the skin blemishes and, in fractional a mode, for the treatment of the acne scars, scars in general and for the rejuvenation of th...

The corses were held on Saturday, 27 of October in halls of the Italian School of Aesthetic Medicine, in Rome, and on Sunday, 28 of October at the School of Aesthetic Medicine Agorà, in Milan.

The chosen material (usually hyaluronic acid) is inoculated through a high pressure, that pushes it...

20th International Congress of Aesthetic Medicine – Milan – Italy

Because of curiosity, I have read what I wrote last year for this Congress, and it seemed to me a “copy and paste” of what happened this year. The titles of the reports have been changed, but not their number. I had to run from one classroom to the other to comply with all the commitments made. I performed one report on the first day and four relations and a workshop on the second. Not satisfied I also left the studio opened in the early hours of the day to attempt to reduce the long waiting l...

67th National Congress of the Italian Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery – Rome – Italy

Also this year a very brief touch-and-go at the National Congress of SICPRE. In a mixed session about the aesthetic surgery and laser therapy, I described our work on the non-surgical reduction of fat using cryolipolysis. The data and assessments are very clear as they were obtained by using photographic equipment in 3D. Dr. Marcello Innocenti (Florence) performed a rather nice report, in which he described his trans-oral method to detach the palpebral retaining ligaments. I was very proud of ...

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

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 ...

39th Annual Congress of the Italian Society of Aesthetic Medicine – Rome – Italy

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...

The in charge of the laser of  ISPLAD (dr. Marina Romagnoli, dr. Elisabetta Perosino and dr. Pino Scarcella) invited me to participate in the 2018 edition of the annual ISPLAD congress.

British Burn Association Annual Meeting 2018 – Swansea – United Kingdom

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

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...
