The Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) and the Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia (CPCA) co-host a prestigious annual educational event for non-surgical aesthetics in Australasia.
Attendance has grown by 20 percent each year since its inception in 2011 and 2016’s (in Melbourne) was a sellout.

Murad is a shining star in the LA cosmetics world, offering sophisticated, high-performance product collections that are comprehensive, efficacious and indulgent.
Created by legendary dermatologist Dr Howard Murad, whose rare breadth of experience in the fields of dermatology, pharmacy and pathology bring him a unique ability to formulate and test products, launching only the most efficacious of those.
Perhaps most notably, Dr Murad pioneered the use of glycolic acid for cosmetic benefit, bringing awareness to this effective ingredient and building its hero status in the dermatology world.
Healthy skin is beautiful skin. Beautiful skin is healthy: Dr Howard Murad.
Connected Beauty is Murad’s philosophy to initiate the cycle of healthier skin and greater wellbeing. This philosophy includes a seamless link between topical product application and lifestyle recommendation, amplifying results your client sees on their skin.
The Murad Method Facial System, Murad’s unique professional protocol, asks: “If no two faces are alike, then why do traditional facials treat them that way?”
The personalised consultation process was pioneered by Dr Murad over 50 years ago in his practice and is designed to address multiple skincare goals for each client, generating improved skin and retail results.
Murad’s treatments and retail collections are designed to work in synergy, continuing to deliver results at home and targeting a comprehensive range of skin concerns.
The synergy of retail product and professional treatment empowers you to offer educated product recommendation, gaining your client’s trust.
Join Murad for a free education session at Sydney’s QT Hotel (45 Market St, in the heart of the city, next to the State Theatre and very close to Town Hall station) and unlock their proven protocols to:
• Maximise your retail potential
• Motivate and educate staff
• Provide exceptional customer service
• Deliver visible skincare results for your clients.
The event is hosted by David Whyte, Asia Pacific Global Educator, Murad.
