“My nurse and three master aestheticians attended the Las Vegas Skin Care Meeting. They benefitted from it in so many ways, but especially they learned from doctors, nurses, and other aestheticians what works and what does not for treating pigmentation, skin care and other skin conditions. They enjoyed the wide variety of panel speakers, the multidisciplinary approach to education and found the meeting very informative.”
