This course will present improved and new techniques, treatments, and technologies in order to promote optimal patient outcomes.  Lectures will focus on the most recent advances for photo-damaged, scarred and in lax skin utilizing a broad spectrum of state-of-the-art devices.   It is anticipated that the attendees will familiarize themselves with the various technologies prior to attending this course as the speakers will focus on advanced applications rather than introductory concepts.  This course is designed for dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and physicians that have an interest in skin rejuvenation and body contouring through the use of lasers, light sources, and radio-frequency devices. This course is NOT intended as an introductory course.  Physics of the various technologies will be presented at an advanced level.  This course will provide an opportunity to gain perspective on the role of ablative, non-ablative resurfacing, rejuvenation techniques, and effective therapy alternatives for their patients.  Newer therapeutic options in ablative and non-ablative fractional resurfacing, radio-frequency and ultrasound, as well as facial/body recontouring techniques will also be reviewed.
