2017 Dermatology Congress | LOVEauthentic Exhibition

LOVEauthentic was part of the 2017 Dermatology Congress, hosted in Pretoria from the 24 - 27 Aug 2017 .  
The highlight of the Congress for us was the :

• Vitiligo Updates Session presented by Vitiligo Society of South Africa (VSSA) & South African Society of Dermatologic Surgery (SASDS) &
  • ​​In our continuous effort to raise  awareness of the Vitiligo, it's our strategy to surround ourselves with specialists that conduct and publish researched articles on the subject. The session featured local and international Dermatological experts. They've all dedicated their time and efforts to understand, research and assist people living with Vitiligo. Today we better better understand the condition. Realising that there's a vast number of individuals  in the world that share our common goal,  is indeed comforting.
• Art Exhibition hosted by Adcock Ingram, where we exhibited our Love the Authentic you Collection. Featuring of Vitiligo Stars​
  • This great opportunity presented itself early this year. We collaborated with Vitiligo Society South Africa & Adcock Ingram,  to exhibit our work at the Dermatology Congress together with other artist. This was a huge movement in the right direction for Loveauthentic. Our exposure and work is finally reaching the avenues we hoped to reach. Thanks to all our vitiligo stars, supporters and our sponsors. You all have made this possible. Thank you to VSSA Chairperson, Dr Raboobee, for the invite. 

 

• Lessons Learnt 
  • We realised that Vitiligo awareness is something that's done within a family like society. People who are personally affected by vitiligo in some way are the ones that do the best work. Like kinds gather together to create a movement of change.
  • Its equally emotional and difficult for doctors to deal with patients with Vitiligo, as it is for us. This forum provided doctors with advise on how to effectively deal with Vitiligo patients and their families. This aspect is possible always overlooked. So if it seems that your doctor may be insensitive, if could relate back to them not knowing how to support you emotionally. 
  • Research and development is a continuous process. We're lucky to have these dedicated professionals who've chosen to assist all of us.
  • We're unfortunately not in a position to share the content of the presentations as they are the intellectual property of the specialist. As new publications are made available by VSSA and SASDA, we'll share them on our page as well.   Your local Dermatologist will also be able to share the new advancements.
