The 4th Annual 2010 Conference in Anti-Ageing and Aesthetic Medicine, to be held in Melbourne on August 20 to 22 will focus on prevention and the interdependence of aesthetic beauty and internal health.
A5M President, Dr Michael Zacharia said the conference will demonstrate how to integrate internal medicine into aesthetics practices and showcase the latest trends in aesthetics.
“Balancing aesthetic treatments with internal medicine helps to preserve the patient’s cosmetic investments,” said Dr Zacharia. “Preventing internal ageing is as important as preventing our external wrinkles. Internal and external medicine are synergistic.
“The future of the aesthetic industry lies in integration of internal and external medicine. Aestheticians wanting to grow their businesses and careers should educate themselves in how to integrate internal wellness into their practice.”
Keynote international speakers at the 2010 A5M Conference will include:
