Second workshop was dedicated to the use of chemical peeling with Glytone products (Asst. Prof. Z. Bukvić-Mokos). Third workshop dealt with mesotherapy by use of Filorga filler (Dr. Philippe Petit, France), while the fourth workshop was so conceived as to teach the participants how to use hyaluronic acid as a skin filler (Sanja Gregurić, MD). This Congress gathered at one place dermato-venereologists, plastic surgeons, ENT specialists, biochemists, and manufacturers of nanoparticles used in Dermaviduals products. The lectures presented in both Lecture Halls were followed by rich discussion on the critical approach in the use of corrective methods in general , and for attenuating the process of skin aging in particular. It was concluded that client inclusion in laser treatment according to indications should be taken into account, with due consideration of con-traindications in case of failure of other methods of treatment available. The choice of corrective treatment should be based on individualized approach, professional opinion, and physician's experience in assessing the client or patient wishes and expectations , especially if unrealistic.
