What began near 25 years ago has vastly expanded in participation and renown.
As such, IMCAS has become one of the most important international courses dedicated to ageing skin treatments.
The IMCAS Annual World Congress is held in Paris every January and welcomes more than 5 000 participants from 85 countries.
The Medtech Symposium 2017, being hosted at The Crowne Plaza in NSW’s scenic Hunter Valley from July 30-31, is for professionals wanting to learn more about skin and body equipment and global trends.
