RSM Aesthetic Congress Focuses on Shaping the Future of Aesthetic Medicine

Shaping the Future of Aesthetic Medicine: A Multidisciplinary & Regenerative Perspective – that’s the theme for the RSM Aesthetics Congress XIV, which takes place on Friday, September 4 2026, at The Royal Society of Medicine, London. 

National and international experts in dermatology, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, maxillofacial surgery, dentistry and aesthetic medicine will examine the face through different specialty perspectives across one day, covering multidisciplinary facial assessment, anatomy and complication prevention, injectables and devices, and regenerative approaches. 

The keynote is delivered by consultant orthodontist Mr Farhad B. Naini, author of the reference book Facial Aesthetics: Concepts and Clinical Diagnosis, and the programme also features the Pierre Fournier Memorial Lecture, delivered by section president, Mr Christopher Rowland-Payne. 

The congress will be joined by an additional session from the RSM Section of Plastic Surgery, RSM: International Perspective on Global Reconstructive Surgery, which adds a reconstructive surgery dimension to the day.

Dr Souphi Samizadeh, congress president, Section of Aesthetic Medicine & Surgery, Royal Society of Medicine, said:

"Aesthetic medicine is at its best when specialties learn from one another. This congress brings dermatologists, plastic surgeons, ophthalmologists, maxillofacial surgeons, dentists, nurses, aesthetic physicians and other interested healthcare professionals into one room to examine the same face through different eyes, and to be honest about what the evidence supports. That is how standards rise and how patients are best served." 

The congress is open to all doctors, dentists, surgeons, nurses and allied healthcare professionals with an interest in the field.

Registration opens at 08:30, with the programme running from 09:00 to 18:15, with four sessions across the day. The full programme and booking are via the RSM: https://www.rsm.ac.uk/events/aesthetic-medicine-and-surgery/2025-26/amu04/.
