AMWC 2017
The 15th Aesthetic & Anti-Ageing Medicine World Congress (AMWC) was held in Monaco in April. It is the world’s largest Global Ageing Management event with visitors attending from over 120 countries.
Dr Tracy Mountford was invited, by Zeltiq, to present at the Congress. She shared her personal insights on using injectables combined with facial contouring techniques to lift and slim the lower face.
Monte Carlo was a stunning back-drop to this event, with attendance by many of the most renowned practitioners from the world of aesthetics in Europe. And from the moment we arrived in Monaco, the meetings began.
Merz – Ultherapy
Dr Mountford and Stuart Rose (MD of Merz UK) caught up on the latest news on Ultherapy and Cellfina.
Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for lifting and tightening the skin on the face, neck, chin and brow. And, more recently, for the improvement of lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. Ultherapy is a ‘NewBeauty Award Winner’ as best ‘Overall Skin Tightener’ 2017.
CoolSculpting
Dr Mountford presented alongside Dr Steven Dayan her insights on CoolSculpting: ‘The Five-Year Story – From Body to Face’. In the presentation, she shared her practice successes of ‘lifting and slimming the lower face’ combining CoolSculpting’s CoolMini with injectables. The top line takeaways from the presentation were that a whopping 41% of patients in the UK are concerned about submental (double chin) fat. And in addition, excess body fat is, by far, the number one aesthetic concern in Europe (84%).
