Message from the President

Dear Colleagues,

I have the pleasure to announce our 4th International Conference, LaserInnsbruck 2012, Advances and Controversies in Laser and Aesthetic Surgery, held in Innsbruck September 12-15, 2012. We hope you have time to participate in this meeting!

Encouraged by the success of our previous biennial meetings – LaserBarcelona 2006, LaserInnsbruck 2008 and LaserInnsbruck 2010 – we will retain the idea of exchanging knowledge in an environment free of commercial interests. Again the distinguished international faculty of experts will present innovative concepts of laser developments and applications in cutaneous laser and aesthetic surgery. We will retain our main objective in facilitating an open academic discussion!

The “Free Communication” sessions are supposed to provide an additional opportunity to controversially discuss progress in dermatology, plastic and aesthetic surgery and to share the most recent knowledge. Please grasp the opportunity to submit your abstract and contribute to the success of the conference. Your presentation is an additional input for an interactive exchange on new knowledge and ideas.

Pre-Conference courses on basic science and the fundamentals of lasers and laser safety are added to the program of this highly professional three-day conference.

Beginners as well as experienced laser and aesthetic surgeons will benefit from LaserInnsbruck 2012.

The workshops offer you the opportunity to discuss the newest devices and to exchange knowledge among experts.

Autumn is one of the best seasons to visit Innsbruck. The host city of two Olympic Winter Games is well-known for its extraordinary location within the heart of the Alps. The famous old town of the city with the “Golden Roof” and many other places of interest are all within walking distances of the conference venue. One highlight is the conference venue itself, located in the historic University of Innsbruck with its famous “Kaiser-Leopold-Saal”.

We intend to ensure you a worthwhile stay in Innsbruck thanks to an interesting scientific conference and a pleasant social program for participants and accompanying persons.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to LaserInnsbruck 2012.

Sincerely yours,

Katharina Russe-Wilflingseder MD
Conference President
