Innovators in the field of cosmetic dermatology were honored this past weekend at Cosmetic Surgery Forum, a discussion-based CME symposium held in Las Vegas and now in its fourth year. Jonah Shacknai, Founder of Medicis, was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement in Dermatology Award. On receiving the award, Mr. Shacknai expressed gratitude for his many years in the dermatology industry and confidence in the new leadership at Medicis, which was recently acquired by Valeant. “This is the largest dermatology company in the world, and with that kind of stature comes a whole lot of responsibility,” noted Mr. Shacknai. He noted further that he expects new leadership at Valeant to bring a new sense of “customer-centricity” to the company as it continues to grow and serve the specialty of dermatology.
