The one-day seminar will provide interested healthcare professionals with a thorough background of the disorder and augment participants’ expertise in diagnosing and treating this often under- or misdiagnosed disorder. .
Specifically, attendees will be given the opportunity to learn the pathophysiology of hyperhidrosis and how it is classified; the indications for, techniques of administering and potential complications of the current and emerging treatments for hyperhidrosis; the effects of hyperhidrosis on a patient’s quality of life; and the specific techniques of iontophoresis, botulinum toxin injections and surgery. The course will also include a discussion of coding, billing and documentation of services as well as successes and failures unique to specific regions.
The courses will be held in Boston (July 9), Anaheim, CA (July 30) and New York (September 24) and will be hosted by leading internationally recognized hyperhidrosis experts, including IHHS President David M. Pariser, M.D., IHHS board members DeeAnna Glaser, M.D. and Samuel S. Ahn, M.D., as well as Sandeep H. Cliff, M.D. and Lewis Stolman, M.D.
