Thursday, 15 January – 15:50 – 16:20

You are invited to join us at Galderma’s Educational Theatre session, “Relfydess Masterclass”.

Join our distinguished expert speakers Dr. Joanna Czuwara and Dr. Birgit Blessmann-Gurk as they introduce you to an innovative, next generation, ready-to-use liquid formulation botulinum toxin A for aesthetic use, relabotulinumtoxinA (Relfydess^®). Relfydess is produced using the new PEARL™ Technology and has recently been introduced in several European markets and Australia. In the pivotal clinical trial program, covering both glabellar line and lateral canthal lines, Relfydess showed an onset of effect starting from Day 1, a duration of effect through six months, with high patient satisfaction and a natural look of results, and was well tolerated.
