SonoDerm Dermatologic Ultrasound conference organizers
DEAR COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS,
After the success of the first edition in 2019, we are delighted and honoured to welcome you to the 2nd edition of our live educational event*, 3-day dermatologic ultrasound conference “Sono-Derm”, hosted in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
We have set up a very attractive agenda regarding the increasing significance of high-frequency ultrasound in conservative, aesthetic, oncologic and surgical dermatology. Our renowned speakers will not only present their latest research in the field, but will also guide you through 3 hands-on sessions, meant to familiarize you with typical anatomical landmarks and also specific findings in various dermatologic conditions. Furthermore, the hands-on session focusing on the sonoanatomy of the face and neck area, followed by case studies of various sonographic filler and threads aspects in live models will enable you to deepen your knowledge of facial anatomy and help you avoid or identify potential filler-related complications.
During your stay in Cluj-Napoca, you will discover a vibrant university city, which will enchant you with its historical background and invite you to discover and rediscover its highlights.
In your free time between the sessions, or after the scientific program, we strongly recommend you to explore our city, which will fascinate you with its vibrant squares, opera house, Romanian, Hungarian and German cathedrals, all of them symbols of Transylvanian communities. Furthermore, do not hesitate to try out the typical Romanian cuisine and wines, which will surely enchant you.
After two long years where the pandemic has made live meetings a challenge, we are now delighted to be able to meet in person again, share our knowledge and learn from one another while exploring in “real-time” our largest and single, totally exposed superficial organ of our body… the skin. As there is a limited number of live places due to the high amount of hands-on sessions of the course, we encourage you to book your place now :).
We look forward welcoming you in Cluj-Napoca , a city whose charm and beauty will help you turn your stay into an exceptional social and cultural experience.
With our warm greetings,
The organizing Committee
*the entire event will be broadcasted live on Eduson
