Oh yes…. It was certainly a busy week and flying off to
Bangkok in between was seriously physically challenging with only few hours of
sleep at night and the day spent concentrating on scientific lectures. But
definitely it was a fun and fruitful escapade although I was only in Bangkok
for less than 36 hours.
It was the first time for me attending ICAD and like the
other conferences I go, a lot of new things and updates were given and new
friendships made. A lot of new knowledge learnt and we get to compare the
differences of our own practice compared to our colleagues elsewhere.
The highlight of this conference was a specialist
demonstration of catheter technique on fillers which I will be starting soon
and the introduction of Redensity as a
new adjunct for skin rejuvenation. I will write more about this treatment later
once I have all my q&a’s answered to my satisfactory. We also learnt a lot
on anti-aging, tackling complications and updates on things like acne treatment
and melasma. We learnt more about hormones and their affect on aging and our body, treatment modalities. One funny slide that I couldn't help bursting out laughing was when they showed the comparison of a man and woman when dealing with anti-aging and hormone replacement therapy in a machine form. The man's machine had only 1 dial, them woman had so many dials and buttons. Yes, women are complicated, even to the biological level.
The short visit to Bangkok was definitely rewarding in terms of knowledge, experience and I have set my mind on a few more resolutions to do this year in order to better myself. One of it would involve taking a series of exams and perhaps having to take a holiday from aesthetics for awhile. Others would include studies of new treatments that I will start to introduce to my patients. Aesthetics and Anti-Aging is a very broad field, hence it still requires continuos studies as other branches of medicine or even more.
