COSMEDICON 2022

With the past year punctuated by lockdowns and border restrictions, COSMEDICON 2022 with its theme of ‘Renew & Reconnect’ is shaping up for many to be the first opportunity in a year for aesthetic medical practitioners to gather face-to-face, network and learn, as well as let their hair down during the popular social program. Here’s a preview of what will be happening at the pinnacle of boutique aesthetic medical conferences in Australia.

With COSMEDICON now in its fifth year, the 2022 iteration, will focus on issues that have arisen with the circumstances of the last two years. ‘Renew and Reconnect’ has been chosen as the theme for the scientific program to reflect the opportunity to renew protocols, business practices, treatment plans, technologies  and to reconnect with patients and colleagues.

COSMEDICON will continue to place an emphasis on the quality of the scientific program, the experience of the speakers and the open sharing of knowledge between attendees. It is a multi-disciplinary conference that welcomes medical health practitioners from all streams and holds that practitioner education is the key to patient safety.

It encourages excellence in all aspects of cosmetic medicine – not only in clinical practice but also through business strategies on how to effectively set up, manage and eventually on-sell an aesthetic medical practice.

It will feature relevant topics, such as ‘HR and government mandates, ’ an interactive panel discussion and case studies on ‘HA hypersensitivity reactions’, cutting edge techniques and products in minimally invasive cosmetic practice, including facial rejuvenation/injectables, body sculpting, skincare, laser and business/practice support.

The COSMEDICON mission is always that delegates will return home with plenty of new ideas and practical skills that can be implemented immediately.

Workshops

In addition to the scientific program, the COSMEDICON 2022 preconference program includes a full-day ‘Combination Therapy’ workshop hosted by EnVogue Skin. It will consist of a didactic course and live demonstration of combination therapies using injectables and threadlifting techniques and is free to all delegates registered for the scientific program.

Preconference Thursday also features half day workshops hosted by Solta Medical; ‘Facial rejuvenation with a gentle and effective fractionated laser that is easy to use’ and Dermocosmètica; ‘Skin remodelling’, with delegates free to move between sessions.

The two day scientific program also features breakfast workshops on both days. On Friday, with Merz Aesthetics; ‘combining botulinum toxin and dermal fillers‘ and Saturday with Alma Lasers; ‘Learn the new leap in scar revision and skin rejuvenation‘.

Sunday features an intensive multimodal didactic Facial Injectable Training (FIT) and Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation Techniques for Beginners. This full-day course is designed to introduce the Scope of Practice and deliver some familiarity to allow a practitioner to start their aesthetic practice.

Back by popular demand, the Advanced Cosmetic Nurse Injector Workshop. Returns on Sunday to cater for the unique requirements of these aesthetic medical practitioners. This full-day program is aimed at the experienced cosmetic nurse injector and includes a focus on safety, research, anatomy and marketing. It will also have case study presentations, an advanced live injecting session and an expert panel discussion offering opinions on the topics of the day.
