2026 CME ACCREDITATION

This activity is jointly provided by AKH Inc. and Informa Connect.


The Aesthetic Show 2026
June 25-June 28, 2026
Wynn Las Vegas in Las Vegas, NV

Activity Overview
Physicians and professional medical staff practicing aesthetic medicine need the educational tools to acquire the knowledge necessary for effective, safe and high-level patient care. The education of physicians and professional medical staff is essential to providing effective patient care in a medical aesthetic practice. There is a lack of educational conferences where physicians and their entire staff of medical professionals can attend together to learn the same information at the same time via didactic sessions. The Aesthetic Show is designed to bring the latest medical aesthetic knowledge, including plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery and dermatologic procedures, products and technologies together in an interactive format.

Target Audience 
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians and allied health professionals working directly within medical aesthetics, dermatology, plastic and cosmetic surgery.

Learning Objectives 
After completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

 

  • Discuss the integration of aesthetic medicine with wellness, longevity and regenerative treatments.
  • Differentiate injectable products based on formulary, safety and efficacy data, and guideline recommendations.
  • Compare the mechanism of action, safety, and efficacy of thread lift/suspension suture products and procedures.
  • Create comprehensive treatment approaches and protocols for the safe and effective use of injectables and/or energy-based devices in aesthetic procedures.
  • Evaluate the most recent developments, clinical investigations, and emerging trends for the use of injectable products and regenerative treatments in aesthetic medicine.
  • Summarize the role of hormone-based therapies, PRP, exomes, and stem cell-based therapies in  regenerative and anti-aging medicine.
  • Integrate diagnostic tools (ultrasound, labs, genomic and microbiome testing) to personalize treatments in aesthetic practice.
  • Discuss complications associated with injectables, threads, and energy-based devices using best practice protocols.
  • Review treatment options to better serve a more diverse range of skin types 
  • Identify appropriate techniques in hair restoration based on current evidence, patient needs, and clinical innovation.
  • Discuss options for minimally invasive body shaping, contouring, fat reduction, and cellulite treatment options.
  • Review available treatment and therapy options to improve genital form and function 
  • Cite safe techniques for dispensing physician-grade skincare as a pre- and post-treatment therapy.
  • Discuss safe and proper microneedling and intradermal delivery techniques for various indications and on skin of color for minimal complications and satisfactory outcomes.

 

Criteria for success
A certificate of completion will be awarded based on the participant's attendance.  A certificate of completion will be available upon completion of an online evaluation/claim credit form.
