Wigmore Presents 25 agenda news

We are thrilled to host a masterclass on Sunday 27th April at Wigmore Presents on the longevity health movement and its interconnection with medical aesthetics; both fields growing in popularity and influence, especially in the UK. The synergy between these fields creates opportunities for clinics and practitioners in the UK to integrate services, offering comprehensive care that bridges aesthetics and health optimisation. Dr Lauren Jamieson, Wigmore Present’s Event coordinator, explores why this is the case.

Shared Goal of Youthful Appearance and Well-Being
The longevity health movement focuses on extending lifespan and health span through scientific advancements, lifestyle optimisation, and preventative measures. This often includes maintaining physical vitality and minimising visible signs of ageing. Similarly, medical aesthetics centres on improving physical appearance, often addressing concerns like wrinkles, skin laxity, and pigmentation. Many treatments aim to achieve a youthful look, aligning with the goals of the longevity movement.

Innovative Treatments with Overlap

• Regenerative Medicine: Treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, polynucleotides and stem cell-based approaches are used both in longevity practices to enhance cellular regeneration and in medical aesthetics for rejuvenation of skin and tissues
• Collagen Stimulation: Procedures such as microneedling or bio-stimulating fillers help boost collagen production, benefiting both aesthetic goals and overall skin health
• Non-Invasive Technologies: Devices like laser therapies, radiofrequency, and ultrasound are used to improve skin quality while also supporting long-term tissue health.

Focus on Prevention
Longevity advocates emphasise preventative measures to slow ageing, such as managing oxidative stress, ensuring cellular health, and protecting against environmental damage. Medical aesthetics complements this by offering treatments to mitigate photoageing and damage.

Holistic Approach to Ageing
The longevity movement promotes a whole-body approach to ageing, combining diet, exercise, stress management, and medical interventions. Similarly, medical aesthetics is shifting towards a holistic approach, combining aesthetic treatments with skincare, lifestyle advice, and even nutrition to optimise skin and body health. Further, in the UK, there is growing demand for personalised and natural-looking results in aesthetics, mirroring the longevity movement’s focus on individualised and sciencebased care.

Ethical and Regulatory Overlaps
Both fields face scrutiny in the UK regarding evidence-based practices, ethical marketing, and patient safety. Shared
regulatory standards ensure treatments align with health goals rather than just cosmetic desires.

Cultural Perception of Ageing
The longevity health movement challenges traditional perceptions of ageing by emphasising vitality and productivity in later years. Medical aesthetics complements this by helping individuals look as youthful as they feel, contributing to confidence and mental well-being.


Sunday’s masterclass features a host of leading practitioners discussing the latest in longevity and regenerative medicine as well as a grounding in the basics of cell structure and the function of key treatment ingredients. We look forward to seeing you there!

Friday Wolfson, 2:30pm Consult, assess, treat (formerly known as Blind Date)

Back by popular demand, our ‘blind date’ session uncovers the consultation process, allowing delegates to see in real-time how leading practitioners assess and treat patients. Join our luminary professionals as they each offer their own signature treatment approach to one patient; what they see, how they seek to address the patients’ concerns, their clinical assessment and exactly how they would treat, step-by-step. Audience members are invited to play along and mark up their own 2D patient in their Workbook to see how their approach compares to the experts.

Friday Seligman, 2:30pm Skin of colour masterclass Patients

in aesthetic medicine are diverse, multi-ethnic and increasingly informed. Increasingly, we see patients from across the spectrum of ethnicity present with complex dyschromias and the conventional ‘hands-off’ approach is not good enough.The treatment of skin of colour remains a difficult topic for many aesthetic clinicians, and often outcomes are less than optimal due to under treatment or the wrong course of action, leading to complications. Leading international speakers Prof Mukta Sachdev, Dr Stephen Mulholland and Dr Raja Sivamani are joined by the UK’s Dr Anjali Mahto and Dr Mary Sommerlad to bring you a central session to elevate your knowledge of this challenging and essential area of practice.
