Lumenis Ltd., the world’s largest energy-based medical device company for surgical, aesthetic, and ophthalmic applications, announced that it will again be supporting the International Scar Treatment Conference in Israel, which will be held for the second time in Tel Aviv, on March 21st-22nd, 2018.
Last year, at the very first Scar Treatment Conference, the international event allowed key opinion leaders from the USA, Europe and Israel to gather and share important new studies and patient care protocols. Among them were Dr. Jill Waibel, Dr. Peter Shumaker, Dr. Mateo Tretti Clementoni and other leading experts, who spoke about the unique Lumenis UltraPulse® SCAARFX™ solution for severe scar treatment.
“Treatment of scars is my passion and last year’s 2017 International Scars Conference was one of the most informative meetings regarding this topic,” said Dr. Matteo Tretti Clementoni. “Lumenis produces a variety of devices including the UltraPluse CO2, the ResurFX™ (1565 nm non-ablative fractional), and the IPL with OPT™, that allow me to treat most of the scars I see during my everyday activity. Using their devices along or in combination we are not only able to change the features of a scar but also to really improve the quality of life of the patients.”
Under the direction of The Tel Aviv Medical Center, Ichilov, with the Israel Society of Dermatology and Venereology, the Israeli Society for Dermatologic Surgery and the Israeli Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, the conference will bring together experts from the plastic surgery, aesthetic, and dermatology community worldwide to explore the newest, cutting-edge practices in scar treatment and aesthetics.
