What’s on the Program
The agenda is built around masterclasses, case based discussions and live demonstrations, including:
- Melasma Masterclass: what drives melasma, plus medical and procedural treatment with a live demonstration
- Pigmentary Sequelae of Inflammatory Skin Disease: early intervention and PIH management in acne, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis
- Energy Based Devices Across Phototypes: parameters, endpoints and safety for every skin type
- Vitiligo in the Clinic: case based strategies for stabilization and repigmentation
- Photodamage and Photoprotection: including skin cancer surveillance, with a live demonstration
- Hyperpigmentation and Hypopigmentation Masterclass: diagnosis and treatment pathways

Panels, expert roundtables and extended Q&A give attendees plenty of time to bring their own clinical questions to the experts.
