Doctor Landa put forward the dermatologic breakthroughs at the Congress of the American Association for Laser Therapy

Bilbao, 11th April 2007.-

The Medical Director of the Dermitek Clinic in Bilbao, Nerea Landa, taught a course on laser hair removal that took place in the annual congress organized by the American Association for Laser Therapy. The event brought together the best world specialists and took place in Grapevine (Texas) between the 11th and the 15th April.

The prestigious dermatologist from Vizcaya was the only European expert to participate in the event. Together with six specialists from the United States she was a part of the hair removal course directed by Doctor David J. Goldberg. The researcher gave a talk on laser hair removal in Europe. She also offered another perspective on the treatment protocols that need to be followed in those cases in which problems arise, for example in face hair removal cases.

Pioneer in Radiofrequency in the Abdomen

Doctor Landa also took part in the sessions on the Thermacool technique that were part of the same Congress. Dermitek, as pioneer clinic in Europe in the use of this methodology in face and eyes was invited to give a talk on this matter. On this occasion she explained the success of the use, for the first time, of radiofrequency in the abdomen. A study carried out by Dermitek on 21 patients is proof of the efficiency of the Thermacool technique in this area. The technique allows skin lifting with no surgery, through the application of heat to create new collagen. As Doctor Landa says, "Dermitek has been the first European Clinic to apply this technique in face, eyes and abdomen, which has later been used internationally.”

The Congress’s programme, in its 27th edition, also included training courses and workshops taught by the most important experts in the fields of Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, Cardiology, Urology, Ophthalmology, Oncology and Odontology, among other specialities. Likewise, a spacious exhibition space held the exhibition of the latest technologies in the sector, as well as a cycle of informative conferences on the research that is being carried out in the laser field and its clinical applications.

Nerea Landa, specialists in Dermatology by the Mayo Clinic in the United States and the Cruces Hospital, is usually invited to this Congress due to the several research projects she carries out in this field.

Precisely, her constant work on research and study of the latest laser technologies applied to dermatology has helped Dermitek become a dermatology and aesthetic surgery clinic of world reference. The medical centre counts with a prestigious team that is equipped with the latest technology and devices of maximum security with the aim of offering its customers total guarantee and trust.
