WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., July 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The ninth annual Cosmetic Bootcamp (CBC), held June 20-23 in Aspen, Colo., included many first-time sessions, including sessions on optimizing patient outcomes using surgery, botulinum toxins, lasers, fillers, and topical products, as well as talked about how to avoid counterfeit products and the psychology of the cosmetic patient.  

Among nearly 50 educational sessions, the meeting also showcased the full palette of treatments available for facial hyperpigmentation, offering a real-world perspective on treatments ranging from topical agents to chemical peels and fractional lasers. When treating facial hyperpigmentation, said Mary Lupo, M.D., "Don't try to be a hero and get magical results right away." She is a New Orleans-based dermatologist and a CBC co-director.

"Our growing attendance and continued industry support show that Cosmetic Bootcamp remains a unique continuing medical education opportunity, and the popularity of the meeting really is a testament to the content and the faculty," said CBC Co-director Kenneth Beer, M.D., a West Palm Beach, Florida-based dermatologist.

Other co-directors for this year's CBC included Jonathan Sykes, M.D., director, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, UCD, and Jose Montes, M.D., associate professor, Department of Ophthalmology, University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine.
