Behind the Scenes with the Professionals
The biggest scientific conference in aesthetics at a glance
There is one obligatory date for the biggest names in aesthetics – the annual congress IMCAS. It appears as kind of class reunion as many of the contributing speakers and consuming participants join the event in Paris for many years in a row. Not only the still magic romantic effect of the French capital, but also the option to learn and socialize fascinates aesthetic professionals from all over the world.
What is IMCAS? Some facts around the congress
IMCAS stands for International Master Course on Aging Science it started 21 years ago. Today it has several meetings around the globe. This year, the main congress took place in Paris January 31st to February 2nd. Imagine a huge market bringing together all players in the aesthetic world: aesthetic physicians, companies, scientific journals, agencies and service providers. Like, you can find „everybody“ who contributes in the aesthetic area there. In 2019, around 11.000 professionals joined the conference and listened to more than 300 lectures.

While a figure like 11.000 participants practically represents a small town, fact is that the participants join from all corners of the world. Which shows the global role and power of cosmetic dermatology and aesthetic medicine. This again reflects the desire of men and women all over the world to correct and improve their appearance. Almost all participants are physicians, mainly plastic surgeons and dermatologists, but also aesthetic doctors, gynecologists and some others.

What is it that attracts at IMCAS?
