IDS 2026 focuses on optimizing skin health by addressing the relationship between the skin, microbiome, and overall systemic health. This year’s theme, “Guide Your Patients Toward a Healthy Biome and Optimal Skin Health”, highlights the role of biome health in managing dermatological conditions.
Expert-led sessions will cover topics like eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, prurigo nodularis, chronic urticaria, melasma, and the impact of movement, weight loss, and cocoa polyphenols on skin health. Attendees will gain evidence-based strategies to restore biome balance, improve patient outcomes, and promote long-term skin health, equipping them with practical tools for integrative care.
As part of this event experience, attendees will have access to virtual courses that can be completed before and after the live sessions. These courses provide additional context, reinforce key concepts, and offer opportunities to deepen clinical understanding at your own pace—enhancing both pre-event preparation and post-event integration into practice.
This Activity is Supported by Independent Educational Grants from Amgen, Arcutis, Almirall, Pfizer, Abbvie and Lilly

Aesthetic procedures have evolved dramatically, yet long-term outcomes depend on far more than technical expertise alone. Emerging evidence shows that nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, social connection, and avoidance of harmful substances all influence the biological processes underlying skin aging, tissue repair, and response to treatment. This session will explore how the six pillars of lifestyle medicine can be integrated into everyday aesthetic practice to optimize procedural outcomes, enhance patient satisfaction, and promote healthier aging.
This lecture presents a novel, multimodal strategy for melasma that goes beyond pigment reduction to address inflammation, vascular factors, and skin homeostasis. Combining intradermal botulinum toxin A, tranexamic acid, and advanced QS Nd:YAG/erbium combination of laser protocols and drug delivery, this approach offers improved outcomes for resistant cases while minimizing recurrence through regenerative and physiology-driven care.
This session reviews the use of neuromodulators across the upper face, lower face, and neck, alongside filler selection based on rheology and treatment goals. Attendees will learn how to differentiate between available products and apply a tailored approach to achieve safe, natural-looking results.

Attendees will learn how to select and combine treatments to improve skin quality, enhance contour, and deliver natural-looking results for both face and body.
As GLP-1 receptor agonists continue to reshape metabolic health and weight-loss medicine, aesthetic clinicians are increasingly seeing patients with facial volume loss, skin laxity, temporal hollowing, jowling, and midface deflation associated with rapid weight reduction. This session will review the anatomic and biologic changes behind GLP-1–associated facial volume loss, including the role of facial fat, dermal fibroblasts, collagen loss, elastogenesis, and soft-tissue support. Attendees will learn how collagen biostimulators may be used to support facial structure, improve skin quality, and preserve natural contours in patients undergoing or completing GLP-1 therapy. The presentation will also discuss clinical assessment, patient selection, treatment planning, and evidence-based strategies for midface and lower-face rejuvenation.

Faculty will discuss evidence-informed strategies to optimize patients before aesthetic procedures, including approaches that integrate conventional dermatologic care with lifestyle and integrative medicine principles. Through practical case examples and real-world protocols, attendees will learn how to identify modifiable risk factors, improve patient readiness, and enhance both safety and satisfaction while supporting natural, long-lasting aesthetic outcomes.
Peptides have emerged as powerful tools in regenerative aesthetics, yet clinical outcomes are often determined by the underlying biologic terrain on which they act. This session explores the cellular and longevity pathways that influence regenerative capacity, including mitochondrial function, nutrient sensing, inflammation, extracellular matrix integrity, and key hallmarks of aging. Attendees will examine how commonly utilized peptide therapies interact with these systems and review the evidence supporting their use. Participants will leave with a practical framework for evaluating patient readiness, selecting appropriate interventions, and optimizing regenerative aesthetic outcomes.
Age-related changes of the lips and perioral regions result from a combination of skeletal remodeling, soft tissue volume loss, collagen depletion, and cumulative photo damage, often contributing to an aged or fatigued appearance. Effective rejuvenation requires more than volume replacement alone and benefits from a comprehensive, multimodal treatment strategy. The session will explore the anatomical changes associated with perioral aging and review the roles of fillers, laser technologies, and other adjunctive treatments in restoring structure, hydration, and skin quality. Attendees will learn how to develop individualized treatment plans that achieve natural-looking outcomes while addressing the full spectrum of perioral aging.
