So much vies for patients’ attention and discretionary spending that differentiating your practice, while exceeding patient expectations, is more important than ever to ensure success. This hands-on learning lab offers a unique opportunity to review, ask questions about, and experience, various aesthetic products and procedures that can be incorporated into optometric practice today. Intense pulsed light (IPL), Botox, radiofrequency technology, and other therapies will be discussed, as well as practice management considerations and reimbursement models.
Learning Objectives:
Upon conclusion of this activity, attendees will be able to:
Review the anatomy of the skin and periorbital tissues, along with the effects the aging process produces on them and recommendations to prevent/minimize that damage
Discuss the science behind various ophthalmic products and procedures that have both therapeutic and aesthetic benefits
Demonstrate how to effectively perform office-based aesthetic treatments to enhance patient self-image
Incorporate aesthetic treatments into optometric patient flow, creating your own Med Spa experience
Provide hands-on learning demonstrations with various ophthalmic products and medical devices with therapeutic and aesthetic applications in eye care
Offer attendees an opportunity to interact with one another, ask questions of the presenters, and problem solve among themselves
