Our Impact Beyond Research
Research is only valuable if its findings are shared and acted upon. That's why we are committed to making aesthetic education more accessible and inclusive through our programs and scholarships. Leveraging our connection with the Aesthetic Surgery Journal (ASJ), the Aesthetic Surgery Journal Open Forum (ASJ Open Forum), and The Aesthetic Society, we ensure research findings and emerging trends are discussed and shared across the aesthetic community.
