WIGMORE OPEN DAY REVIEW

Wigmore Medical hosted another successful Open Day event at the Royal Society of Medicine on Tuesday 4th April. Led by a faculty of leading doctors and industry profession­als, this networking and educational event offered valuable insight into the exciting world of aesthetic medicine.

With a focus on top brands such as Merz Aesthetics, Invasix and ZO Skin Health, and including new products on the market, tips on how to improve the success of your clinic, this event had something for everyone.

Merz Injection TechniqueMasterclass

This was led by Dr Tahera Bhojani-Lynch, an internationally recognised consultant and surgeon, who showcased the full Be­lotero range and Radiesse +, as well as of­fering delegates tips and guidance to op­timally harmonise treatment of the face.

Delegates left this session not only with newly acquired product knowledge, but also with the confidence needed to effectively use these brands in their clinical practice.

Invasix sessions

These sessions were introduced by Mr Neil Wolfenden, the Marketing Director of In­vasix, and were consequently hosted by Ms Marie-Charlotte Bez, Area Export Man­ager for Cocoon Medical, and Dr Gunjan Bedi, an aesthetic doctor and director of MediSkin Care.

Attending delegates were introduced to the Cooltech system, offering cryoadi­polysis for localised fat reduction, and also benefited from a live demonstration thanks to our very patient model.

The following session gave an over­view of fractional radio frequency and the benefits of using these systems in clinic. Delegates were also able to learn how this could be used for treating active acne, scarring and skin tightening.

VANIQA

Ms Julie Van Onselen, Director, trainer and dermatology expert, led an introductory session on VANIQA, the first prescription only topical treatment for female facial hirsutism.

This covered patient needs and chal­lenges and explored the clinical evidence and research surrounding VANIQA as a combined treatment option with lasers.

Delegates left with a new found curi­osity for this innovative product and were considering integrating it into their clinic treatment options. 

ZO Skin Health

This evening session had a great attend­ance and delegates were impressed with the extent of knowledge and experience offered by the speaker. Mr Rick Woodin, Vice President of Global Research and De­velopment, took to the stage with passion and confidence in the ZO skincare range and the hard work that has gone into the research and development process.

He focused on the brand’s innovation process, skin health fundamentals, as well as the latest product innovations includ­ing Rozatrol, the all in one solution for rosacea. If you missed this session you can read the highlights on page 15.
