Sofia, 22-23 February 2025

ESLD hands-on laser and EBD Teaching Course was born in 2016 and is held twice a year. Up to now a long series of great success, for attendees, speakers and companies.

The Course is structured into theoretical and hands-on sessions, and seeks to enhance attendees' knowledge and expertise in the ever-evolving field of laser dermatology. Our comprehensive program has been meticulously crafted to cover the latest advancements in laser technology, procedures, and techniques in dermatology, starting from the basics to reach special cases and a final panel discussion.

We understand the importance of hands-on experience in mastering laser procedures and that's the reason why the Course offers the opportunity to practice laser treatments under the guidance of experienced instructors.

This Course is the ideal platform for networking and collaboration, fostering relationships with fellow dermatologists, healthcare professionals, and experts from around the world.

The Course is open to a limited number of attendees in order to grant the best teaching conditions especially during hands-on sessions.
