MESTDER 2026 — the 9th International Medical Aesthetics Congress — takes place on 26–29 November 2026 at the Titanic Luxury Collection Belek, Antalya, Türkiye. It is organised by the Medical Aesthetics Association of Türkiye (Medikal Estetik Tıp Derneği, MESTDER).
About the congress
In her invitation letter, congress and association president Dr. Yasemin Savaş describes the ninth edition as more than a scientific meeting: a four-day gathering focused on innovation and the latest technological developments in medical aesthetics, designed with a forward-looking scientific programme and leading speakers in the field. As in previous years, a social programme runs alongside the sessions.
What to expect
The scientific programme is built around the fast-changing practice of non-surgical aesthetic medicine, including:
- Injectables — botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid fillers and facial anatomy for safe injection
- Energy-based devices — lasers, radiofrequency, HIFU and skin tightening
- Regenerative and biostimulatory treatments — PRP, polynucleotides, skin boosters and biostimulators
- Skin quality, anti-ageing and combination protocols
- Complication prevention and management
- Live demonstrations and industry sessions showcasing new technologies
Who should attend
Physicians practising medical aesthetics, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, family physicians with aesthetic practices and trainees interested in evidence-based aesthetic medicine. The congress is international, with sessions expected in Turkish and English.
Committees
The organising committee is led by Dr. Yasemin Savaş (President), with Dr. Alp Mamak (Vice-President), Dr. Tamer Küçük (Secretary General), Dr. Bora Özcan and colleagues.
