Medical and scientific association support

Under the joint scientific supervision of the Dermatological Society of Thailand (DST) and World Society of Interdisciplinary Aesthetic and Anti-aging Medicine (WOSIAM), ICAD returns to Bangkok for its 7th edition this November. The longest running aesthetic dermatology event in the Southeast Asia region, the organizers are pleased to present a new and improved scientific program, which is certain to impress attendees. ICAD will also cooperate closely with existing and new active Asian medical/ scientific partner associations with the ambition to disseminate knowledge and up-to-date information on aesthetic and anti-ageing dermatology for Asian and international medical doctors. Internationally-reputed speakers from around the world will put forward their scientifically-proven and practical approaches to a number of related disciplines. Scientific exchange on cutting-edge developments in the relevant fields will be promoted and encouraged among the professionals in attendance. Today, ICAD is considered a significant milestone for aesthetic and anti-ageing dermatology in the Asian medical and healthcare community. ICAD 2016 will build on the success it has achieved over the last few years with an all-new advanced pre-congress on the first day, followed by two days of scientific sessions covering diverse and comprehensive topics of aesthetic dermatology.

The course will focus on holistic and combined treatments for male and female patients.
