IV INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON AESTHETIC MEDICINE in Moscow

Dr. Patrick Treacy of the Ailesbury Clinic in Dublin was recently invited to speak on his pioneering work on 'The usage of Fibroblasts in Aesthetic Medicine and Acne Scarring' at the IV INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON AESTHETIC MEDICINE in Moscow April 19-20, 2005.

At the convention speakers from all over the world discussed the new applications of stem cell technology and fibroblast treatments in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. Topics for discussion at the convention included "The usage of autologic fibroblasts and stem cell technology in treatment of alopecia" "The prospects of deceleration of ageing by the methods of Embryonic Stem Cells (ESC) lines" and "Stem cells of marrow stroma: the theoretical and practical aspects".

Dr. Treacy has had a long interest in the emerging technology of embryonic stem cells, although his own pioneering work has largely been in the use of fibroblasts and high dose radiofrequency in order to reduce wrinkle formation in ageing skin. He is presently considered a world expert in this field being one of the few people to have treated over 200 patients to date.
