Objectives: This presentation will describe the different categories of HUDs and how if you embrace them, incorporate them into your practice and into your treatment routines, we can achieve the best results for our patients.
Introduction: Home use devices (HUDs) continue to grow and expand and have proliferated greatly into the general patient population who are looking for new methods of self-improvement without relying totally on our services.
Materials / method: This presentation will describe the different categories of HUDs and how if you embrace them, incorporate them into your practice and into your treatment routines, we can achieve the best results for our patients.
Results: This presentation will show the latest in home cleansing devices, devices for treating acne and psoriasis, devices for rejuvenating the skin, devices for hair removal, devices for skin tightening, and even devices for fat reduction and feminine rejuvenation.
Conclusion: We, as clinicians, will not stop this influx of new HUDs into the marketplace, but it is our job to assure that they are safe and efficacious and that our patients’ well-being is always kept at the forefront for these new technologies.
