Education Objectives:

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a well-established clinical modality for cancer, dermatological, and dental diseases. PDT is based on the activation of photosensitizer agents with wavelength of light, which results in energy transfer cascades that ultimately yield cytotoxic reactive oxygen species that can render cell death. The Fundamentals of photodynamic therapy (type I or II mechanisms , its cellular and biochemical aspects will be extensively described. The photosensitizers, in particular those used clinically will be presented. The different light sources for inducing the photochemical reaction will be

detailed. examples such as “PDT for prostate cancer treatment» and « PDT for actinic keratosis treatment » will be presented.Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) or photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is a new promising strategy to eradicate pathogenic microorganisms such as Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts and fungi.

Skin care requires an all-round approach, which does not focus merely on the condition of the cutaneous tissue itself and the possible treatment methodologies to be used, but to encompass all facts of each patient as an individual from a preoperative standpoint. With the ever-increasing range of lasers and

light systems at the dermatologist’s disposal for clinical treatments, a total concept approach based on a correct knowledge becomes crucial to ensure high patient satisfaction concomitant with good results. The choice of the most appropriate regimen must be based on a combination of the energy dosage and wavelength of the light systems available, as it is now clear from experience that no single modality can induce the complex range of indications. Selection and proper management of the device of choice is necessary for the successful outcome of, for example, chronologically photo-aged skin and the various cutaneous and vascular lesions, which frequently appear with age or in young individuals. This situation generates a necessity for active involvement of dermatologists to train in order to keep themselves in good all-round knowledge, which will help maintain their current professional standards in the use and advantages of lasers in their speciality.

This course offers a new approach to vaginal atrophy and vaginal relaxation syndromes, some of the most common types of vaginal pathology. Laser therapy is used without surgical incision, it is a painless and a non-invasive treatment for women suffering from this condition. We are able to move away from long term hormone replacement therapies that have created concern and discomfort in some patients, and started a new era of recovering after childbearing. The ability to use non-invasive photo-thermal therapy brings a new hope for patients with

breast cancer.In this course participants will learn the state-of-the-art of vaginal collagen disease and its clinical diagnostic, trial of patients and the methodology behind the use of Laser therapy. The use of equipment and techniques will also be approached. The objective of the course is to share with participants this new method and approach to vaginal atrophy and vaginal relaxation syndromes that has been proven to be very

and cost saving.

Health is the balanced condition of the living organism in which the integral, harmonious performance of the vital functions tends to the preservation of the organism and the normal development of the individual. Other

have been proposed, among which a recent that correlates health and personal satisfaction. In addition, beauty and aesthetics are among the most important factors to gain personal satisfaction.In this course, we aim to explain how to obtain with the aid of natural, safe and minimally invasive treatments, results through the application of combined techniques and associated laser with other related systems.Minimally invasive procedures that offer

reduced downtime are on the rise in aesthetic facial surgery, and it is essential that these newer technologies undergo critical assessment in the hands of well-trained dermatologist doctors. The combination of different techniques represents a new modality to address skin aging. technical considerations are provided in this course, and vigorous management of patient expectations is recommended.The aims of this course is to inform physicians who begin in the laser world in the cosmetic medicine and to update experienced physicians as well. The physics principle and applications of Laser associated with other systems with same purpose will be presented as an introduction of the course and followed by techniques and aesthetic indications such as botulinum toxin, hyperhidrosis, threadslift,

and tattoo removal. The combining techniques, order approach, and global indication to the patient will be the focus of study in this course.

Claudia I. M. van der Lugt MD, Netherlands

Time: 08:30 - 19:00

Duration: 1 day course

Course Title: APPLICATIONS OF LASER AND ENERGY BASED DEVICES (EBD) IN AESTHETIC MEDICINE – Lecture

When: Spring 2017

Bio:Dr. Claudia van der Lugt obtained her medical degree at the University of Groningen in 1991.Being specialised in laser techniques and with her interest in other non-invasive treatments she started her own private clinic “Alizonne”, preventive and cosmetic medicine, in Meijel, the Netherlands in 1997.The main drive of van der Lugt is to combine non-invasive treatments for the rejuvenation of the face and body. Since 1996 she has been using lasers of different wavelengths, taken part in studies and designed concepts for best results. Her knowledge on laser-tissue interaction and outcome of different techniques is extensive. Lasers, LED, IPL, ultrasound, RF and other on energy based devices have taken an enormous development and the use of these modalities needed to be standardised and regulated. This has led to the foundation of the Dutch Aesthetic Laser

Association, DALA, of which van der Lugt is the president.As the demand for weight correction and body contour treatments grew very high, it was challenging to develop a non-invasive method to address this problem.Her teaching quality and transmitting knowledge to colleagues has proven to be of high standard. She is a regular invited speaker on numerous international conferences on above mentioned topics. She is the director and lecturer of the “Laser treatment” and “on energy based devices treatment” modules, in the Dutch NVCG medical curriculum for Cosmetic Medicine. Since 2003 she is specialised in the injection-lipolysis treatment resulting in a position as a member of the Medical Board of the Network-lipolysis ISL.
