Dr. Stein Gold, along with Julie Harper, MD, will direct a rosacea forum on Thursday to review the latest information on pathology and treatment. The day’s acne forum will include details on sebum-reduction products in the pipeline, as well as data on benzoyl peroxide.
The psoriasis forum on Friday will feature “long-term information on the safety of current drugs,” and also look ahead to more data on IL-23 inhibitors, Dr. Fowler said in an interview.
Aesthetic dermatology highlights from Saturday’s scheduled presentations include Dr. Zachary’s review of options for facial rejuvenation and what clinicians need to know about body contouring. Kristin M. Kelly, MD, of the University of California, Irvine, will discuss devices and how they can be best used to modulate scarring, and Howard Steinman, MD, who is in private practice in Irving, Tex., will share tips on “avoiding the danger zones” when using toxins and fillers.
