Wow! What a fantastic weekend it was at ACE Conference! If youre following my Instagram page, youll know exactly how much fun was had by all involved, but it wasnt all eye patch parties and Sculpsure treatments! As the UKs Leading Aesthetic Medicine conference, theres always something to be done at ACE, whether that be networking with the top experts the industry has to offer or coordinating exclusive masterclasses.
The Conference
The entire weekend was a whirlwind of activity- and I loved every moment! With a schedule stacked out with client events, my own speaker session on the business track and a blur of catch ups and networking with industry friends, colleagues and clients, there was barely a minute to spare. As ever, ACE is a fantastic excuse to regroup with many industry contacts, allowing those of us with packed schedules to come together and celebrate each others work.
I particularly enjoyed the chance to attend the presentation sessions for three of my own clients. Kicking off my Friday morning was Radara, whose masterclass focused on eye rejuvenation with and without needles. This session was led by eminent oculoplastic surgeon Sabrina Shah-Desai and renowned beauty journalist Alice Hart-Davis, and looked at the challenges and treatment options available for this complex area, alongside consumer expectations and media perceptions. All in all, the session was incredible popular and extremely fascination, forming the perfect launchpad for the new Radara Eye product, which treats both the crows feet and tear trough area.
Friday afternoon was rounded off with the Schuco masterclass, directly following my own presentation. Launching the latest addition to The Princess®? Dermal Filler Ranf, Volume Plus, the session was helmed by industry expert heavyweights, Dr Rita Rakus, Mr Kambiz Golchin, Lee Garrett and Dr Nyla Raja. With a blend of product information and overviews, alongside live injection demonstrations for mid-face and lips, all delegates left with an in-depth overview of the capabilities of this filler range and the need for a holistic skincare plan with cosmeceuticals like The Universkin Range both pre- and post-treatment.
Saturday brought another insightful and well-attended session, starting bright and early with my final client masterclass. This time, I was supporting Calecim with their launch to the UK and European markets with experts Prof Ivor Lim and celebrity New York dermatologist Dr Doris Day. Everything went off without a hitch, marking the end to another successful year at ACE!
Our Presentation
I was thrilled to be able to present yet again at ACE, following a string of successful congress appearances already in 2018. The topic of discussion was Building a Brand with PR, something ever-essential in the growing world of aesthetics, and took place on the Friday afternoon. I was blown away by the huge number of people who stopped by to pick up some expert advice and marketing tools of the trade to take back and use in their clinics!
