The Aesthetic Show 2012

The Aesthetic Show 2012 was held at the convention center at the Aria resort and casino in Las Vegas, NV April 12 - 15, 2012. This was the sixth annual edition of the show organized by Michael Moretti, president of Medical Insight and editor of the Aesthetic Guide. The theme this year was Hollywood, with an emphasis on teaching people about procedures through television, and it coincided with the launch of Aesthetic TV. Doctors and their staff members came from around the world to learn about what's new in aesthetic medicine such as Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, lasers, and skin care products. Exhibitors ranged from laser companies to skin care lines to textbook publishers. Numerous world renowned leaders in the field gave talks about various topics. Dermatologist Dr. Michael Gold of the Gold Skin Care Center in Nashville, TN, a world expert in the field of aesthetic medicine, gave talks on Botox, fillers, lasers, and skin care. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Alexander Rivkin of Westside Aesthetics in Los Angeles, pioneer of the non-surgical nose job and a regular on numerous television shows, gave talks on non-surgical rejuvenation of the nose as well as using television as a platform to promote one's practice. There were even talks about practice management, marketing, and social media. The highlight of the show was The Aesthetic Awards hosted by Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Ordon of the award winning TV show "The Doctors." Awards were given to doctors for their work on facial and body rejuvenation. Additionally a raffle was held and many prizes were given away; the grand prize was a laser by Palomar Medical. The event was a great hit again this year and we look forward to the conference next year.
