A new professional body focused on advancing a more biologically informed approach to aesthetic medicine has been launched by clinicians Dr Mayoni Gooneratne and Dr Kate Goldie.
The Society of Integrative Aesthetics (SIA) brings together clinicians, researchers, educators and industry partners to explore the relationship between aesthetic outcomes, regenerative medicine, tissue health and systemic resilience.
Inaugural Congress Announced for 2027
The Society has confirmed that its inaugural congress will take place at the Royal College of General Practitioners in London on 15–16 April 2027.
The programme will include:
- An exclusive masterclass on 15 April
- A full-day congress on 16 April
The congress will explore emerging thinking in aesthetic medicine and the wider biological factors that influence patient outcomes.
Purpose of the Society of Integrative Aesthetics
The Society has been founded in response to growing recognition that aesthetic outcomes are influenced by more than in-clinic treatments alone.
Research and clinical observation continue to highlight links between:
- Skin and tissue health
- Metabolic function
- Inflammation
- Hormones
- Nutrition and lifestyle
- The biology of ageing
Rather than replacing conventional aesthetic medicine, the Society aims to broaden clinical understanding.
Clinical Perspective
"Integrative aesthetics is not anti-injectable, anti-device or anti-conventional aesthetics," says Dr Mayoni Gooneratne. "It is the next layer of clinical reasoning. We want to help clinicians understand how systemic health, regenerative medicine and aesthetic interventions work together to support better patient outcomes."
Dr Kate Goldie adds: "Patients are increasingly looking for approaches that address not only how they look, but also how they age. Integrative aesthetics provides a framework for connecting visible outcomes with the underlying biology that drives tissue health, repair and resilience."
Vision and Mission
The Society of Integrative Aesthetics aims to establish integrative aesthetics as a recognised, research-informed field within aesthetic medicine.
Its core objectives include:
- Advancing education and training
- Supporting research and clinical studies
- Developing clinical standards
- Encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration
- Providing evidence-based guidance for practitioners
The Society will operate as a research-led organisation rather than a commercially driven one.
Planned activities include literature reviews, clinical audits, consensus statements, practice surveys, research collaborations and future original studies to help build an evidence base for this emerging field.
Congress Theme and Programme
The inaugural congress will take place under the theme:
“Beyond Beauty: The Future of Regenerative and Integrative Aesthetics.”
Topics will include:
- Biology of ageing
- Skin as a metabolic organ
- Hormones and appearance
- Regenerative medicine
- Longevity aesthetics
- Emotional wellbeing
- Ethical considerations in aesthetics
- Systems-based patient care
The programme will include scientific presentations, clinical discussions, case-based learning and interdisciplinary debate designed to encourage broader clinical thinking.
Audience and Next Steps
The event is expected to attract doctors, dentists, nurses and researchers with an interest in the future direction of aesthetic medicine.
Further details on speakers, registration and founding membership opportunities will be released in the coming months via https://www.siauk.co.uk/.
