Incorporate the latest developments in dermo-aesthetic practice management, corrective dermo-cosmetics and protocols for sensitive skin into your daily practice"

Pharmacists' work in counseling and advising patients is fundamental, since many of them come to the pharmacy as the first point of contact for skin problems or skin esthetics. Pharmacists' level of knowledge is therefore vital to effectively address common dermatological pathologies such as acne, seborrheic dermatitis or alopecia, among many others that are common reasons for consultation.

In addition, research in skin physiology has led to the most advanced development of photosensitizing drugs, nutraceuticals and other particularly relevant products in skin pathology treatment. Enhancing and modernizing knowledge about these advances in turn boosts pharmacists' ability to meet a wide range of demands as quickly and efficiently as possible.
