Victor Ross, Matthew Avram, Andrew Alexis, Merete Haedersdal and many more to energy–tissue physics, laser safety, fractional and ablative resurfacing, pigment and vascular lesions, scars, acne, skin of colour, peels, exosomes, threads, fillers, botulinum toxin and complications.

The programme
Device physics, safety & clinical endpoints
Anderson explains how energy interacts with skin before Ross surveys lasers, light sources and other devices. Kilmer covers protection for staff and patients, and Molly Wanner shows how to read clinical endpoints during treatment.
Vessels, tattoos, hair & photoaging
J. Stuart Nelson addresses rosacea, telangiectasia, haemangiomas and port-wine stains, while Omar Ibrahimi updates tattoo removal and tissue tightening. Avram on hair reduction, Ross on pigmented lesions and Kilmer on rhytides complete the morning’s device toolkit.
Resurfacing debates in the Harvard laser aesthetic course 2024
Speakers ask whether ablative resurfacing remains the benchmark, how to combine fractional devices and when treatment should be declined altogether. Fractional radiofrequency and fractional drug delivery extend the rejuvenation discussion.
Medical lasers, acne & skin of colour
Sessions cover scar revision with surgery and lasers, device-based acne therapy, photodynamic therapy and a multimodal approach to melasma. Andrew Alexis and Henry Chan give dedicated talks on treating darker and Asian skin types safely.
Injectables, peels, threads & regenerative topics
Day two moves to cosmeceuticals, exosomes, hormones and peptides, peel video demonstrations and hair restoration with surgery, lasers and PRP. Toxin anatomy, filler indications, filler video demonstrations, thread lifts and body tightening with injectables follow.
Complications, fallacies & what comes next
Faculty dissect common aesthetic dogmas, the most influential recent publications and the mistakes experienced operators still make, with a panel of treatment pearls. Anderson and Dieter Manstein close on emerging laser applications before open ask-me-anything panels.
Who it’s for
- Dermatologists refresh device, peel and injectable practice with evidence-focused faculty
- Plastic and oculoplastic surgeons compare resurfacing strategies and filler complication management
- ENT and gynaecology physicians gain grounding before adding lasers to practice
- Aesthetic physicians learn safer protocols for skin of colour and pigment disorders
The consult
Is there a more recent edition?
Yes — a 2025 programme is sold separately. This 2024 edition suits buyers who want this particular faculty line-up and agenda.
Are procedures demonstrated?
Chemical peels and soft tissue fillers are shown in video demonstration segments; the remainder is lectures, discussions and panels.
Is file size or format specified?
Neither is stated for this edition; the product consists of the recorded sessions from the two-day agenda.
Does watching replace practical laser training?
No — the recordings inform device choice and technique, but safe operation still requires supervised hands-on training and local regulatory compliance.
When does access begin?
The full programme is yours instantly once checkout is complete, with access that does not lapse.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Derma Academy provides the course files only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included.
