Merz Aesthetics is presenting five abstracts at the 2024 International Master Course on Aging Science (IMCAS) World Congress, highlighting its product portfolio and how it is contributing to the field of regenerative aesthetics. This year is the 25th edition of the largest scientific aesthetics congress worldwide, beginning Thursday, February 1, and ending Saturday, February 3.
“Merz Aesthetics is looking forward to sharing these new findings, as they provide strong scientific evidence to support the evolving field of regenerative aesthetics,” said Terri Phillips, M.D., Chief Medical Affairs Officer, Merz Aesthetics.”We take pride in the innovation of our product portfolio and how it’s helping to shape the future of the aesthetics industry.”
The focus of this year’s Merz Aesthetics Symposium at IMCAS is mastering regenerative biostimulation. “Patients are seeking more sustainable solutions to aging, and regenerative aesthetics treatments have the potential to deliver long-lasting results by working to improve the function of the cells for healthier and more youthful-looking skin,” said Phillips. “In collaboration with experts in aesthetics and aging science, this year’s Congress allows us to highlight our advancing science and leadership in this space.”
Merz Aesthetics organized a program led by notable medical aesthetics experts, participating in various IMCAS sessions and presenting new data throughout the event.
