WOMEN ARE LIVING LONGER

Women are living longer than ever before — and they deserve to live those years healthy, confident and supported.

CHANGING PHYSIOLOGY IN MIDLIFE

As women transition through menopause — whether they choose to use hormone therapy or not — practitioners are observing significant changes in skin integrity, tissue quality, body composition, metabolism, mood and overall wellbeing. At the same time, many women are accessing advanced aesthetic treatments, regenerative therapies, metabolic medicine and emerging technologies, creating new clinical considerations that require a more integrated, medically informed and collaborative approach.

REGENERATIVE MEDICINE IN AESTHETICS

This symposium brings together leading clinicians and experts across regenerative aesthetics, hormonal physiology, longevity medicine and advanced treatment technologies to examine how practitioners can support women through every stage of midlife using whole-person, evidence-informed strategies.

A WHOLE-PERSON CLINICAL FRAMEWORK

Through keynote presentations, expert panels and case-based discussions, the program explores the full spectrum of female midlife physiology — from skin, connective tissue and muscle to metabolism, mental health and intimate wellness — and how these systems interact to influence both health outcomes and aesthetic results.
