The Korean Society for Anti-Aging Dermatology to Hold 16th Summer Scientific Meeting, Spotlighting 'Skin Longevity' and Latest Clinical Insights

As consumer awareness of aesthetic medicine continues to grow, the scientific basis of procedures and physicians' expertise are drawing greater scrutiny. An increasing number of patients now seek more professional, systematic care — not simply a procedure.

The Korean Society for Anti-Aging Dermatology will hold its 16th Summer Scientific Meeting on June 28 at Seoul Dragon City, presenting 94 comprehensive lectures across four specialized sessions to redefine treatment paradigms.

■ 94 Lectures Across Four Sessions — Comprehensive Coverage of Anti-Aging Medicine

KSAAD is a medical academic society composed of board-certified dermatologists that holds two regular scientific meetings each year, sharing advances in clinical anatomy, aging mechanisms, and the latest procedure trends. This summer's meeting will feature 94 lectures across four sessions (A through D), offering one of the most comprehensive programs in the society's history.

■ 'Skin Longevity' Research Session Debuts — Redefining the Future of Skin Health

The centerpiece of this year's meeting is a newly established 'Skin Longevity' research session. The concept of skin longevity — maintaining skin health over the long term, beyond simply looking younger — has been gaining momentum in both research and clinical practice. The session will provide an in-depth look at the latest trends in skin aging science and the evolving treatment paradigm. Through this session, the society aims to chart the future direction of aesthetic medicine.

■ 'Controversy Session' Introduced for the First Time — Building Clinical Judgment

Another highlight is the debut 'Controversy Session,' introduced for the first time this year. Rather than delivering straightforward answers, the session presents contrasting perspectives on key issues in aesthetic medicine, encouraging participants to reflect on their own clinical reasoning and decision-making criteria. The format is expected to sharpen dermatologists' clinical insight and problem-solving skills.

■ Rich Program on Fillers, Botulinum Toxin, and Energy-Based Devices

The meeting will also feature signature KSAAD programs, including site-specific filler guideline lectures by leading experts and clinical anatomy sessions using 4K video. Foundational courses on botulinum toxin, fillers, and energy-based devices (EBD) are also on the agenda, offering practical support for practitioners at all levels.

■ 'Connecting Basic Research and Clinical Practice' — A Continuing Mission

Kwang-Ho Han, M.D., President of the Korean Society for Anti-Aging Dermatology (Director, Nature Dermatology Clinic), stated: "Since its founding, the society has played a role in bridging basic research and actual clinical practice. I hope this scientific meeting helps dermatologists build differentiated competitiveness."

Nak-Kyung Noh, M.D., Chairperson of the 16th Summer Scientific Meeting (Cheongdam Dosanro Leaders Dermatology Clinic), added: "In the rapidly evolving field of aesthetic medicine, expertise, deep understanding, and clinical insight matter more than experience alone. We have strengthened the clinical anatomy-based procedural approach and foundational education to provide practical benefit."
