It is a pleasure to invite you to the Scottish Skin & Laser Summit.
We created this event because the best conversations in aesthetics rarely happen in a lecture theatre. They happen between colleagues who are willing to share what has worked, what has not, and what they would do differently. That is the spirit behind the day.
You will hear from a faculty of clinicians who lead some of the most respected practices across Scotland, Ireland and beyond. They will share practical clinical insight, the reasoning behind their treatment decisions, and honest reflections on building a business alongside a clinical career. There will be room to ask questions, challenge thinking and take away something you can apply on Monday morning.
W Edinburgh gives us a setting worthy of the occasion, from the sessions themselves through to lunch at SUSHISAMBA and an evening reception above the city skyline.
Places are strictly limited, and I would encourage you to secure yours early. I look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh.

Area Sales Manager, Scotland and Ireland
