Merz Aesthetics, the world’s largest dedicated medical aesthetics business, today announced it will present a broad portfolio of scientific research at the International Master Course on Aging Science (IMCAS) World Congress 2026 in Paris. The research provides new insights into modern trends in medical aesthetics and spans ultrasound visualization, neuromodulators and emerging clinical scenarios.
Merz Aesthetics will also be hosting a symposium at the congress titled “Ahead of the Curve.” The symposium will explore the evolving frontiers of medical aesthetics, including the impact of menopause on skin quality. To help clinicians deliver personalized care for their patients, the discussion will include science-backed strategies and innovative techniques to address treatment choices for patients of differing age groups, as well as GLP-1-related weight loss.
“We are committed to anticipating trends and addressing the evolving needs of medical aesthetics professionals,” said Bob Rhatigan, CEO, Merz Aesthetics. “By listening closely and innovating with purpose, Merz Aesthetics can help patients feel more confident in a rapidly changing medical aesthetics landscape.”
Merz Aesthetics will present 16 posters at IMCAS, marking the business’ largest poster presence at the congress to date. The wide range of poster data reflects the integration of clinical research with real-world insights.
