I have just come back from The Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Medicine World Congress (AMWC) from the rather gorgeous location of Monaco, where I was part of a panel discussion on the last day of the congress called Intergrative Aesthetics: Redefining Beauty Through Regeneration and Whole-Body Health
It was the final session of the programme, and the Pope(!) had arrived in the region for an unexpected visit, which meant half the delegates were scrambling to rebook flights home. Despite all of that, the room was still two thirds full, which says something about how much this conversation matters to people.
What we discussed was something I have been practising for over a decade- that if you are a medically trained clinician, working in a CQC regulated space, seeing patients repeatedly over months and years, you have both the opportunity and the responsibility to look after more than the surface.
That is what Integrative Aesthetics means to me and my co-launcher Dr Kate Goldie.
Not a rebrand or a marketing angle, but a clinical reality that has been unfolding in practices like mine for years.
Skin, hormones, metabolic health, nervous system, whole person. Not as separate tracks, but as one integrated approach.
I think the world of aesthetics is changing, and I hope it is changing for the better.
The response in that room certainly suggested the profession is ready for this conversation.
Thanks to my fellow panelists Dr Kate Goldie, Dr Nichola Conlon, Sabrina Fabi, and Kay Durairaj, MD, FACS and to EuroMediCom for a fantastic event.
