April 2015 Renewme Skin Clinic Medical Seminar

April 2015 Renewme Skin Clinic Medical Seminar - Dermal Filler

At our 2015 April seminar, Dr. Kim Tae Hwan presented a recent case about a patient who nearly experienced necrosis from a dermal filler injection on the nose. He spoke of different possible side effects, and explained in detail the emergency treatments administered on the patient, providing photos of the progress. The treatment was successful, and as a result the patient ended up with even younger and healthier skin. Side effects may result regardless of the doctor’s skill; it is therefore crucial for a truly skilled dermatologist to know how to handle such emergency cases if they should occur. Dr. Kim’s experience provided valuable advice to the other doctors who attended the seminar.

Dr. Kim showed real photos of the patient's progress throughout a course of a few weeks. He explained the exact treatment and solution amount that was administered to the patient, to be used for future references. With each passing day, one could see the patient's skin condition clearly improving thanks to the quick and extensive measures taken.

Following Dr. Kim was a short talk by Dr. Seong Yong Hae, a renowned nose surgeon in Korea and guest lecturer, who added to Dr. Kim’s presentation and provided his own insights on managing side effects for dermal fillers. Dr. Seong praised our clinic for taking the right measures for the patient presented in the previous lecture, and shared several of his own experiences along with technical information about what can cause side effects.

Afterwards was a series of live procedures, of dermal fillers injected into the cheeks, forehead, and chin by Dr. Kim Duk Han of our Hongje branch. It was a golden opportunity for all attendants to see our experienced dermatologists at work. Both patients were satisfied with the results, which were evident immediately after the injections.
