INVITATION

Botanical and Dietary Anti-aging Approaches in Dermatology

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the 4th INDERCOS Congress, taking place 27-30 March 2019 in İstanbul-TURKEY. The main topics of this meeting will be “Botanical and dietary Anti-aging Approaches in Dermatology”. Through plenaries and parallel workshop sessions, we aim to share insights and experiences and discuss how advances in aesthetic dermatology. In order to success this, we have very distinctive international speakers with extensive experience and a range of expertise across aesthetic dermatology and dermatology. Cosmetic dermatology is growing increasingly common in today's society. The question “Are botanical and dietary anti-aging approaches effective in dermatology?” will be debated. Botanical extracts that support the health, texture, and integrity of the skin, hair, and nails are widely used in cosmetic formulations. New botanical skin care treatments are emerging, presenting dermatologists and their patients the challenge of understanding the science behind these cosmeceuticals. In some cases, dietary approaches can influence the course of the skin disease, as in acne. In others, dietary change could serve as one aspect of prevention, such as in skin cancer and aging of the skin. In others, dermatological disease may be linked to systemic disease, and dietary changes may affect health outcomes, as in psoriasis. Lastly, systemic medications prescribed for dermatological disease, such as steroids, retinoids are known to raise the risk of other diseases, and dietary change may reduce this risk. We hope you will be together with us in this fascinating, high quality scientifically educational congress and we look forward to your precious participation and feedback.
