Dear friends and colleagues,

I have the pleasure to announce our 5th International Conference, LaserInnsbruck 2014, Advances and Controversies in Laser and Aesthetic Surgery, held in Innsbruck September 3-6, 2014. It is a great honor and my pleasure, as President of the Congress and as Coordinator of the IPRAS Laser Academy, to invite you to this event. I hope you have time to participate in this meeting!

Encouraged by the success of our previous biennial meetings we will retain the idea of exchanging knowledge in an environment free of commercial interests. Again the distinguished international faculty of experts will present innovative concepts of laser developments and applications in dermatology, plastic and aesthetic surgery. We will keep our main objective in facilitating an open academic discussion!

For the first time the best abstracts will be included in the main sessions. Please grasp the opportunity to submit your scientific work and contribute to the success of the conference. Your presentation is an additional input for an interactive exchange on new knowledge and ideas.

Objectives of this Conference are:
• Emphasis on new techniques and technologies, comments on the latest innovations
• Treatment options of different diseases, comparison of procedures, review of diversity and procedures’ endpoints
• Discussion of techniques, safety and complications

The Pre-Conferences course on “Fundamentals, Safety and Complications of Lasers” and on “Fat Grafting” is added to the program of this highly professional three-day conference.

Beginners as well as experienced colleagues will benefit from LaserInnsbruck 2014.

Workshops offer you the opportunity to discuss the latest devices and clinical applications and to exchange knowledge among experts.

Autumn is one of the best seasons to visit Innsbruck. The host city of two Olympic Winter Games is well-known for its extraordinary location within the heart of the Alps. The famous old town of the city with the “Golden Roof” and many other places of interest are all within walking distances of the conference venue.

We intend to ensure you a worthwhile stay in Innsbruck thanks to an interesting scientific conference and a pleasant social program for participants and accompanying persons.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to LaserInnsbruck 2014.

Sincerely yours,
Katharina Russe-Wilflingseder MD
