IMCAS Mission Statement
IMCAS congresses are medical research conferences focused on providing physicians (plastic surgeons, dermatologists and medical aesthetic practitioners) with the latest academic updates for their professional progress in the plastic surgery, dermatology and aging science fields. IMCAS brings together the latest evidence-based techniques from prominent speakers and the newest developments from the major industry players.
The primary objective is to build a bridge between plastic surgery and cosmetic dermatology, reinforcing knowledge in each field in the junction of those two fields, covering as well aesthetic surgery, non-invasive aesthetic treatments, clinical dermatology, regenerative medicine, and more.
Each and every edition is dedicated to the interdisciplinary research of plastic surgery, dermatology and aging science, with a scientific program built to bring the highest quality of education to our attendees for the best and safest patient treatment outcomes.

How We Operate
A medical congress is nothing without its contributors. At IMCAS we recognize the value that our speakers, exhibitors and participants bring to each of our congresses. As such, we have constituted 13 Task Forces made up of IMCAS speakers and participants who help ensure that IMCAS constantly pushes the boundaries and distinguishes itself in terms of content quality, innovation and education in the fields of plastic surgery and dermatology. The Task Forces are comprised of international members who are assigned tasks for the development of each of the 13 areas.
