Brief Report of the Event (in about 200 words)
|
one-day workshop on “Laser and Energy-Based Devices” was held on 07 June 2026 at Rajarajeswari Medical College & Hospital, Bengaluru. The programme was designed to update participants on recent advances in laser and energy-based technologies used in dermatological practice. The workshop featured a series of expert-led sessions covering the scientific principles, device selection, treatment protocols, and emerging applications of various modalities including CO₂ Laser, Microneedling Radiofrequency (MNRF), Q-Switched Nd YAG Laser, Diode Laser, and High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU).
The faculty highlighted evidence-based approaches to laser treatments, emphasizing appropriate patient evaluation, procedural planning, risk mitigation, and post-procedure care. Clinical experiences, practical tips, and case-based discussions provided valuable insights into real-world applications of these technologies. Interactive question-and-answer sessions encouraged active participation and facilitated knowledge exchange between faculty members and delegates. The workshop concluded with a post-assessment and discussion on future trends in laser dermatology. The programme successfully enhanced participants’ understanding of contemporary procedural dermatology and reinforced the importance of safe and judicious use of energy-based devices in clinical practice.
