COSMEDICON 2026 returns with a tightly curated, high-impact program that reflects exactly where aesthetic medicine now stands – under greater scrutiny, powered by rapid innovation and continually evolving.
Across three days, Australia’s leading boutique aesthetic conference brings together an engaged audience of doctors, nurses, clinic owners and industry leaders for practical education, regulatory clarity and global insight.
THURSDAY
3 x hands-on workshops
The conference opens on Thursday with three focused workshops delivering concentrated, high-impact education. Expect evidence-based protocols, live technique refinement and direct access to leading clinical educators.
Device Consulting workshop
A deep dive into next-generation energy-based platforms including UltraClear, PicoStar and Tixel, paired with Hydrinity regenerative skincare. The focus: precision resurfacing, collagen stimulation and device-driven skin quality strategies grounded in evidence, not hype.
Cryomed workshop
Technology-led education spanning Lavieen, Oligio X, Tightan Pro, Healite, Sofwave, XERF, Tesla Chair and Etherea, complemented by Universkin Skincare. Expect practical discussion around multimodal treatment planning, device integration and measurable outcomes across face and body.
Dermocosmètica workshop
A regenerative aesthetic medicine session centred on Profhilo and Profhilo Structura. This workshop will examine bioremodelling within the broader context of tissue quality, collagen architecture and structural support, translating regenerative theory into clinical application.
Facial Injectable Training for Beginners
For clinicians earlier in their injecting journey, Facial Injectable Training for Beginners with Dr John Flynn offers structured, foundational guidance. With only two places remaining, this small-group session is almost at capacity. Register your place here.
Welcome Drinks
Thursday concludes with Welcome Drinks, sponsored by Dermalogica PRO – a prime networking opportunity before the scientific program begins.
FRIDAY-SATURDAY
World-class scientific program
The two-day scientific program addresses the core challenges facing contemporary aesthetic practice.
The opening keynote by Anthony Mennillo, Head of Claims and Legal Services at MIGA, will focus on minimising risk in clinical practice, setting the tone for a program that addresses the key challenges and opportunities facing practitioners today. Sessions will examine consumer-reported safety and satisfaction outcomes, laser regulations, and how to keep pace with industry regulation in a rapidly changing landscape.
With more than 50 scientific presentations, the program spans injectables, devices, regenerative medicine, complication management and evolving patient expectations. Seven live injecting demonstrations will translate theory into technique, while a dedicated panel discussion will encourage open dialogue on the issues shaping practice today.
International faculty: global perspectives, local relevance
A defining feature of COSMEDICON 2026 is its international faculty, bringing diverse cultural and clinical perspectives to the Australian stage to share data, protocols and emerging concepts.
This year’s global speakers include:
- Dr Charlene DeHaven (USA)
- Dr Young Seob Lee (South Korea)
- Dr Narendra Kumar (Singapore)
- Dr Mirjana Janjic (New Zealand)
- Dr Kingsley Mariadasan (Norway)
- Dr Tapan Patel (United Kingdom)
- Dr Isaac Wong (Singapore)
- Dr Chaloemchai Sriakkrapong (Thailand)
Together with leading Australian practitioners, educators and researchers, they will deliver thought-provoking presentations across injectables, regenerative aesthetics, energy-based devices, women’s health, body contouring, skincare and clinical governance.
Trade exhibition: technology & translation
Running alongside the scientific program is a two-day trade exhibition featuring more than 30 companies representing the latest injectable treatments, devices and skincare innovations.
For clinicians evaluating new capital investments or refining existing treatment portfolios, the exhibition floor is where education meets implementation, with direct access to manufacturers, clinical trainers and technical specialists.
Beyond the lectern: networking & community
Professional development extends well beyond the lecture theatre. Following a full day of science, delegates will gather for the High Tech Medical-sponsored ‘Classic TV Shows’ Gala Dinner – a social highlight that blends networking, entertainment and camaraderie. As with the Welcome Drinks, these moments of connection remain central to COSMEDICON’s identity as a collegiate, community-driven event.
For clinicians seeking to refine technique, expand knowledge and engage meaningfully with peers at the forefront of the field, COSMEDICON 2026 is shaping up to be one of the year’s most important dates on the calendar.
