OVERVIEW
Skin Disease Education Foundation's 41st Annual Hawaii Dermatology Seminar is organized by Global Academy For Medical Education and will be held Jun 01, 2017 - Jun 30, 2018. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 2.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Description :
The increasing popularity of soft tissue augmentation for aesthetic reasons has been accompanied by reports of accidental injection of filler into the facial vasculature. This has resulted in cases of blindness. Along with a thorough knowledge of facial anatomy, certain techniques may reduce the risk of this catastrophic outcome. A protocol for handling complications of injection also is crucial. Onychomycosis is a common complaint in clinical practice. Laboratory confirmation of a diagnosis is a crucial element of successful therapy. New topical therapies offer additional options for patients; an oral therapy is undergoing clinical trials as well. Results acceptable to the patient require persistence with treatment as well as adherence to lifestyle measures intended to reduce the risk of recurrence and reinfection.
