EUROPEAN ACADEMY FOR DERMATOLOGY AND VENEROLOGY
Dear Dermaroller-Fans,
When we returned home after four intensive EADV-Congress days, our families, staff and friends asked us: “How was Berlin?” We only could answer: A FANTASTIC PARTY!
Before we prepared our stand for this event we remembered the congress in Paris a year ago. Our last year’s Dermaroller-Stand was so packed and crowded that we decided to book double the space for Berlin, and it turned out we made a mistake: we needed at least three times more the space than anticipated. Michael and I speculated that we would not be able to cope with the run and asked some of our affiliated distributors to help us out. And by the end of the congress we knew what it means to have friends.

FRIENDS
They came as far as from Australia (Sean Abel), from the Caribbian (Dr. Vic Baranes), from Israel (Ran Heskia and Rina Edelman), from Italy (Giuseppe Villa), from Greece (Dr. Konstantinos Anastasakis), from Norway (Ingelin Harlem & Yen Teschow), from Belgium (Flor Wellens), from UK (Roger Bloxham) – just to mention a few. More than 6,000 doctors attended the congress, so it was not a surprise that our booth was so packed that we had to stave off many visitors to see us a bit later or even the next days. The Dermaroller was the talk of the congress, and we felt a bit sorry for the empty stands of other teams selling costly ablative light units.

FEED BACK
During the hundreds of interviews we gave we clearly received the message that physicians and patients are asking for softer, non-ablative and more effective treatment alternatives. And with all humbleness we can say that the Dermaroller is definitely one of them. Many physicians reported that they had integrated the Collagen-Induction-Therapy into their treatment spectrum and that they were extremely happy with the results they could achieve with the Dermaroller-Therapy. Now they have a versatile instrument to effectively treat scars in various forms, various skin problems, sun damage, hyper-pigmentation, etc.
We introduced the positive results of the latest clinical study on melasma conducted by Dr. Co from the Philippines. Also we gathered information of new successful Dermaroller therapies we never heard before. This actually is not a surprise since many trials take up to one year and more before results can be released. For those doctors without Dermaroller experience and for a delegation from China we organised a workshop in Berlin’s biggest clinic.
One gentleman from the States came to our booth and said: “You guys have the only device of interest on the entire congress.” What a compliment!

SCIENCE: Just in time on the occasion of the congress Dr. Menke from the Berlin University Hospital CHARITÉ presented us her latest findings in transdermal marker delivery with amazing confocal laser images of skin closure after microneedling.
We also could discuss and sign mutual agreements for scientific research on Dermaroller Skin Therapies with several clinics. We shall report.
ABOUT BERLIN: Last time I was there was the day when the Berlin Wall tumbled and with it the communist regime. It then was a dark, forlorn and divided city overshadowed by the aftermaths of a terrible war. Now, twenty years later, this town has emerged from the sludge of history and transformed into a beautiful modern city, the German People can be proud of. It is embedded in huge parks and Berlin most likely is the greenest capital in the world. I admit, I did not know much about Berlin and during the many taxi trips I was happy to get a glimpse on what people are capable to restore in almost no time.
Our friends from China enjoyed a lovely evening
Berlin has a special gastronomic atmosphere with many “typical” bars and restaurants. We invited our distributors in one of them and they all agreed: “What a place!”

If you once will have the opportunity to go to Berlin, you’ll not regret it. And one little tip: stay at the Radisson SAS-Hotel. The lobby is dominated by a huge aquarium about six stories high and filled with one million litres of seawater for tropical fishes. A centre lift in the huge glass tube will carry you off into an amazing underwater world.

CUNCLUSION
No doubt, such a congress is a real stress. The voice is almost gone and your aching feet are flat like a pancake – but the efforts are worthwhile. And a final drink at the bar helps to forget the endeavours.

We wish you all a pleasant day and see you on the AAD-Congress (American Academy for Dermatology) in Florida March 2010.
Best regards
Your Dermaroller-Team
PS: Our American partners are working hard to build up more Dermaroller-Centres on the West- and East Coasts were physicians are trained for the Dermaroller-Therapy. It will take a while… but if you have a skin problem, please contact them directly so they can guide you to a trained medical doctor.
