Eye Special
Volume 8: Issue 4 | Oct - Dec 2024
Welcome to the Winter 2024 Issue of the Consulting Room Magazine
In this issue, we are focussing on the eyes. One of the first areas to show the signs of ageing due to its delicate skin, treatments to address under-eye pigmentation, hollows or sagginess have long been popular. Yet, treating the eye area can be risky.
As part of our eyes special, we look at treatments for dry eyes (p18-19), polynucleotides for regenerating the under eye area (p20-22), under eye pigmentation (p22-23) and treatments for the eye area (p28-29). Dr Patrick Treacy also shares his guidance on dermal filler blindness (p32-35).
Also, in this issue, we look at complications from weight loss injections (p36-37), examine the role augmented reality is playing in plastic surgery (p46-47) and explore the topic of tax and VAT (p66-67).
As well as this, our CPD article, written by Julie Scott, explores managing menopausal rosacea (p56-57), and I try out exosomes with Dr Raquel Amado (p58-59).
Before I sign off, I just wanted to say that I was very sad to hear the news of the passing of Dr Patrick Bowler, a pioneer in the sector. Patrick was a founding member of the British Association of Cosmetic Doctors, which later became the British College of Aesthetic Medicine (BCAM) and was for me personally someone I admired who was an integral part of my early years in aesthetics. Read our tribute on page 8. Our thoughts are with his family.
