Dermatologists Lecture at Plastic Surgeons Meeting in Boston
SkinCare Physicians’ Drs. Dover, Kaminer and Rohrer were invited guest speakers at the 2015 annual meeting of plastic surgeons, The American Society for Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), last weekend in Boston. It is rare for dermatologists to be invited to speak at plastic surgery meetings, and it was a great honor for our physicians to share their expertise with so many plastic surgeons from around the world.
Drs. Jeffrey Dover and Thomas Rohrer spoke at a plenary session called “perioral rejuvenation”. While Dr. Dover addressed the use of neuromodulator and fillers, Dr. Rohrer discussed the use of lasers for perioral rejuvenation.
Dr. Michael Kaminer gave the filler lecture in a room filled with 500 plastic surgeons, and taught about CoolSculpting and non surgical facial rejuvenation, with the help of our Director of Clinical Operations, Andrea DiGiulio. He is here with Dr. Rick D’Amico who invited him.
