Innovations in the management of skin conditions - a global discussion
Be part of the global discussion on an innovative new form of therapy for managing tricky skin conditions this April, as FutureCPD invites dermatology specialists from UK, Italy and Canada to review fluorescence photobiomodulation.
As the world looks to find ways of reducing our reliance on antimicrobials, new ideas and new therapies will come to the fore. In this panel discussion, subject matter experts will be exploring the mechanisms behind photobiomodulation, then discussing practical applications and case studies.
- Does this new form of therapy work?
- When and how can it be used?
- When should we look for other options?
Watch the recording below to find out the answers to all these questions and more:
