All about skin

The latest trend about skin and skin care were the topics of discussion during the Philip- pine Dermatological Society’s 38th Annual Convention and the 13th Asia-Pacific Environmental and Occupational Dermatology Symposium held at the Edsa Shangri-La, Manila. A scientific program on timely and contemporary issues in dermatology was prepared

to cover the theme “Focus: Skin, Skin Knowledge and Innovations amongst Nations.” Renowned experts were also invited from the organizers’ partner, the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group, to discuss updates and shared experiences. The yearly event by the PDS is, by far, the best avenue to showcase all leading edge skin care brands as well as medical and aesthetic devices. Among the event’s major sponsors were two of the leading companies in the dermatology business, DermAsia Corp. and DMark Multisales Corp. Nikki Tang, who heads both companies as CEO, acknowledges that the strong partnership and business relations forged with the PDS help create top-of-mind awareness for their brands. We wish you more success this new year, Nikki!
