The eleventh edition of MEIDAM emphasizes a broad clinical approach to dermatology and aesthetic medicine. In 2026, the program was restructured around specialized tracks, including clinical and aesthetic dermatology, lasers and energy-based devices, regenerative medicine, skin of color, hair disorders, plastic surgery, pediatric dermatology, dermatologic surgery, and related fields.
A distinctive feature of the program is the combination of core clinical topics with procedures directly relevant to modern aesthetic practice. Alongside the treatment of inflammatory, autoimmune, and pigmentary skin disorders, sessions are planned on injectable techniques, biostimulation, regenerative approaches, skin longevity, device-based technologies, and procedure safety.
From Clinical Dermatology to Regenerative Aesthetics
The preliminary scientific program covers the diagnosis of complex dermatoses, alopecia, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, photodermatology, dermoscopy, pediatric dermatology, and inflammatory skin diseases. For the aesthetic segment, blocks are planned on neuromodulators and dermal fillers, skin boosters, polynucleotides, exosomes, biostimulators, work with different skin phototypes, and combination protocols.
The regenerative block expands the traditional anti-age theme: the program includes healthy skin aging, longevity, the gut-skin axis, modern active ingredient delivery systems, and discussions of regenerative strategies in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. This makes it possible to view rejuvenation not as a standalone procedure, but as part of broader clinical work focused on skin health.
Laser Technologies, AI, and Hands-On Training
The practical component includes the basic laser course of the European Society for Lasers and Energy Based Devices. The theoretical and practical modules include laser safety, pigmentary and vascular lesions, scars, laser rejuvenation, and combining energy-based technologies with other methods.
A separate track, Digital Dermatology, AI & Practice Evolution, is dedicated to artificial intelligence in dermatology, digital imaging, early skin cancer detection, and the use of AI in aesthetic practice. The program also includes clinic workshops, oral presentations of resident research, scientific symposia, and a professional exhibition area.
Who Will Benefit from the Program
- dermatologists and dermatovenereologists;
- aesthetic medicine physicians;
- plastic and dermatologic surgeons;
- specialists in injectable and laser techniques;
- physicians working with regenerative approaches, trichology, and longevity;
- residents, researchers, and medical practice managers.
As the scientific program is marked as preliminary, it is advisable to check the latest version and the access conditions for specific hands-on formats before attending. Preliminary MEIDAM 2026 Scientific Program is updated on the event’s official website.
