DermaFocus has announced two advanced periocular training masterclasses with oculoplastic reconstructive surgeon and aesthetic practitioner Dr Sabrina Shah-Desai, focusing on the use of Plinest Eye polynucleotides around the eyes.
Designed for practitioners already familiar with the product, the sessions will take place on Thursday 3 December 2026 at Church Pharmacy in Loughborough and Friday 15 January 2027 at Wigmore Medical in London.
The programme will cover periocular anatomy, assessment and patient selection alongside advanced needle and cannula injection techniques. Delegates will explore a broader range of periocular indications, with Shah-Desai also demonstrating how Plinest Eye can be incorporated into comprehensive treatment plans. The emphasis is on developing practitioners’ existing knowledge and applying it to more individualised care.
Shah-Desai brings specialist surgical and educational experience to the programme. A Moorfields-trained consultant oculoplastic surgeon, she has more than 25 years of experience in eyelid and periocular surgery and founded the Oculo-Facial Aesthetic Academy in 2016.
Milad Bemana, co-founder and executive director of DermaFocus, said: “Our forthcoming training masterclasses reflect our ongoing commitment to raising the standard of aesthetic medicine through science, integrity, and collaboration. Dr Shah-Desai is one of the UK’s leading voices in periocular regeneration, and delegates will benefit from her specialist expertise in this area of regenerative aesthetics.”
The sessions will also consider how practitioners can develop their treatment offering, connecting the clinical training with the practicalities of introducing broader periocular treatment plans into their clinics.
Dr Sabrina Shah-Desai said: “I’m delighted to be leading DermaFocus’ Plinest® Eye advanced periocular training masterclasses. It promises to be an interactive and informative course, where practitioners will be able to develop advanced techniques, learn how to integrate Plinest® Eye into comprehensive periocular treatment plans, and expand their treatment offerings to support their clinic growth.”
The masterclasses form part of the UK company’s wider clinical education programme. DermaFocus’s polynucleotide courses are open exclusively to medical professionals, with prospective delegates advised to confirm their eligibility with the training team.
