In his address, Professor Dr. Syed Afzalul Karim stated that the skin is the largest organ of the human body, protecting it from harmful external environmental effects. He emphasized that the importance of skin and aesthetics lies not only in treating diseases but also in ensuring overall skin care and boosting self-confidence. He added that proper and specialized training would make dermatological healthcare services more effective and patient-friendly.
Speakers highlighted the importance of skin care in modern medical practice and stressed the need for specialized training for physicians in this field. They noted that with proper skill development, dermatological treatment services in the country could be elevated to international standards.
It is noteworthy that Aurora Skin and Aesthetics pioneered a new horizon in treatment in Bangladesh by introducing ‘Non-cultured melanocyte transfer surgery’ for vitiligo for the first time in the country in 2013, through a coordinated team of skilled dermatologists, nutritionists, and plastic surgeons in the treatment of skin, hair, nail, and sexually transmitted diseases.
