Whats New in Skin Care for 2008
The Society of Plastic Surgical Skin Care Specialists (SPSSCS) celebrates its 14th Annual Meeting — Catch the New Wave in Skin Care, to be held in San Diego, CA. The meeting offers educational seminars for nurses, aestheticians and other trained skin care specialists working in the offices of plastic surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Also featured are exhibits from companies providing the latest products and services for medically-supervised skin care.
Two highlights from the Skin Care 2008 include:
This meeting will focus on scope of practice issues regarding aesthetic
care. As states begin to apply more regulatory pressures on nurses and
aestheticians who perform procedures, it is becoming increasingly important
to let people know exactly who is qualified to perform them. Presentations
include a panel discussion on the current regulatory environment for nurses
and aestheticians as well as proposed educational standards. Dr. Neal
Reisman, a board certified plastic surgeon and attorney from Houston, TX,
will also speak about steps to take to keep the patient, the doctor and the
skin care specialist safe.
Until a few years ago there were just a handful of medical skin-care
lines. Now, with hundreds of product lines being sold everywhere from
drugstores to doctors’ offices, even skin care specialists are confused
about what the best products are, and which are the best products for the
individual patient.
The panel titled Oh No! How Do I Know What to Choose? will compare
over-the-counter products to cosmeceuticals, as well as look at common
ingredients, evaluate the penetration of ingredients, and examine the new
trend of organic products.

FACTS ABOUT MEDICALLY-SUPERVISED SKIN CARE:
Medically-supervised skin care, administered by qualified staff,
provides patients with safe, clinically-tested treatments that are proven
effective.
Medically-supervised skin care offers patients expert guidance in
selecting appropriate products for home use — products with stronger, more
effective ingredients than are available over-the-counter.
Medically-supervised skin care has become part of today’s plastic
surgery practice. Among members of the American Society for Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), 49%* employ a skin care specialist on staff. An
additional 9%* of ASAPS members contract the services of an independent
skin care specialist.
