The Benefits of Early Intervention in AD: More Than Skin Deep
Many AD treatment goals focus on clinical manifestations, so that if a patient is free of lesions, their disease is considered well controlled. However, the inflammatory process underlying AD reaches far beyond the skin, affecting patients in unique ways at different stages of their lives. Education on the importance of treating AD beyond the skin and altering the treatment approach to fit the individual patient will help improve clinical management and reduce long-term patient burden.
What Could Remission Mean in AD?
Dr. Simpson explores the concept of remission in AD, focusing on minimal disease activity and long-term remission, discussing how disease modification in AD can impact the course of the disease and its associated comorbidities.
Systemic Inflammation in AD – Beyond the Skin
In this highlight video from the May 2024 ADVENT symposium at ESPD’s Annual Meeting in Košice, Slovakia, Dr. Lisa Weibel presents how systemic inflammation affects organ systems beyond the skin, and could potentially manifest as atopic and non-atopic comorbidities.
ADVENT at WCPD 2025
The ADVENT symposium at the 15th World Congress of Pediatric Dermatology (WCPD) will focus on discussions around disease modification in atopic dermatitis (AD) in three main topic areas: restoring the skin barrier, reducing non-atopic comorbidities, and stopping the atopic march in pediatric patients with AD aged 6 months to 11 years.
The Importance of Early Intervention and the Potential for Disease Modification in Patients With AD
This video from the September 2024 ADVENT symposium at EADV’s Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, features Dr. Eric Simpson discussing the concept of disease modification and the benefits of early intervention when treating patients with AD. Dr. Simpson also reviews available data investigating the impacts of therapies for AD on the disease itself and on associated comorbidities.
Early Intervention and the Potential for Disease Modification in Children With AD
This video from the May 2024 ADVENT symposium at ESPD’s Annual Meeting in Košice, Slovakia features Dr. Amy Paller discussing the benefits of early intervention for children with AD and the potential for disease modification. Dr. Paller also reviews available data investigating the impacts of therapies for AD on the disease itself and on associated comorbidities.
Charting the Future: Preventing the Atopic March
In this video from the April 2025 WCPD symposium, Dr Eulàlia Baselga discusses how early intervention during infancy and childhood in patients with AD may reduce the progression of the atopic march. Dr Baselga goes on to review data showing how the reduction of biomarkers such as IgE and CCL17 may reduce inflammation and sensitization that contribute to atopic comorbidities.
Diving Below the Surface of AD: The Role of Type 2 Inflammation
This video from the September 2024 ADVENT symposium at EADV’s Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, features Dr. Stephan Weidinger discussing how local type 2 inflammation at the skin tissue level contributes to epidermal barrier dysfunction, dysbiosis, and neuroimmune dysfunction, leading to the clinical signs and symptoms of AD. Dr. Weidinger also reviews how systemic inflammation affects organ systems beyond the skin and can manifest as atopic and non-atopic comorbidities.
Under the Itchy Surface: The Insidious, Cumulative Burden of Type 2 Inflammation in AD
In this soundbite video from the March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Eric Simpson highlights the systemic nature of atopic dermatitis (AD) and how the disease burden extends beyond the skin. Through the lens of cumulative life course impairment, Dr. Simpson explores how persistent type 2 inflammation in AD may drive both atopic and nonatopic comorbidities, emphasizing the importance of early, effective treatment to alter disease progression.
Within and Beyond the Skin: New Perspectives on the Role of Type 2 Inflammation in AD
This video from the May 2024 ADVENT symposium at ESPD’s Annual Meeting in Košice, Slovakia features Dr. Lisa Weibel presenting how local type 2 inflammation within the skin contributes to epidermal barrier dysfunction, dysbiosis, and neuroimmune dysfunction, leading to the clinical signs and symptoms of AD. Dr. Weibel also reviews how systemic inflammation affects organ systems beyond the skin, and could potentially manifest as atopic and non-atopic comorbidities.

European Society for Pediatric Dermatology (ESPD) 2024 | Košice, Slovakia
Inflammatory processes drive AD both within and beyond the skin, leading to significant, cumulative life impacts. Early intervention has the potential to mitigate these impacts by altering the disease course.
