TEPHI Grand Rounds | The Cost of Beauty: Infections Associated with Cosmetic Procedures

Event Description

In this upcoming TEPHI Grand Rounds webinar, Stacey Rose, MD, will examine the infectious disease risks associated with cosmetic procedures, an often overlooked source of bacterial infections, non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections, and even botulism. The session will explore infections linked to cosmetic procedures performed in both medical and non-medical settings, whether in the United States or as part of medical tourism. Rose will also discuss strategies to reduce infection risk and highlight important considerations for individuals with compromised immune systems.
