ADVANCING WITH ALLIEDPRO AND THE REIMAGINED AESTHETIC MEET

As announced at The Aesthetic Meeting in Vancouver this past May, we have now rolled out AlliedPro, The Society’s new member program that offers nonsurgical professionals and staff the opportunity to become part of our organization. Our president, Dr. Kiya Movassaghi, also announced this new tier to members in his inaugural email update, and I wanted to give you more details about the program.

THE BENEFITS FOR ALLIEDPRO MEMBERS INCLUDE

Access to The Aesthetic Society Academy, our on-demand online learning portal.

  • Access is free for non-CME content, and AlliedPro members can pay for CME sessions individually, at a special discounted rate.
  • Courses and content cover clinical techniques, including surgical and nonsurgical procedures, and also the business side of running a practice.
  • Members can learn at their own pace and fill in any gaps in expertise and knowledge.

Participating in face-to-face meetings and symposiums alongside aesthetic experts and accessing cutting-edge products and technology from industry exhibitors.

  • Attend premier events produced by The Society and its partners, including The MEET in Austin (March 2025—more on that later), the Medical Aesthetics Professionals (MAP) Meeting (November 2024) and the 4S Summit (December 2024).
  • AlliedPro members receive exclusive discounted registration pricing.

Training with industry experts through our virtual live sessions, including the upcoming Behind the Syringe: Beauty of Injectables program (January 2025).

  • Learning—and earning—as members accumulate Achievement and Accolade Badges as recognition for completing our educational offerings, enhancing expertise, patient safety and outcomes, and consumer confidence.
  • A certificate of membership for display in the office, and also an online decal so website visitors will know about this exclusive membership.
  • Belonging to a community of peers, with access to industry thought leaders, the latest procedures and products, and a wealth of online information and education—creating the ideal environment for professional growth.

Opening our membership to include nonsurgical professionals through AlliedPro also enhances The Society’s value to the aesthetic industry, providing learning, participation, and networking for the entire practice. With nonsurgical professionals being so intertwined with our surgeons’ practices, proper tools and education provide a win for everyone—maximizing patient safety and outcomes and minimizing mishaps.

If you have not done so already, I encourage you to enroll your staff. Sign up here and take advantage of two special offers for discounted, early access pricing. It is truly an investment in the future.

The Aesthetic MEET

I also wanted to update you on our annual meeting. In Vancouver, we revealed that The Aesthetic Meeting will become The Aesthetic MEET beginning with next year’s event in Austin, Texas. It reflects our drive to be innovative, inclusive and to reimagine how we can provide the best educational content and an elevated, fun event and networking experience. Next year’s meeting takes place a little earlier than in the past—March 20–23, 2025. It is still our annual meeting, with education, networking, and industry exhibitors, but with an energy and sense of discovery that reflect how we are transforming the organization.
Registration for The Aesthetic MEET opens September 15th—you can find more information and register here.

AlliedPro, The Aesthetic Society Academy and The Aesthetic MEET are all part of our ongoing mission to ensure The Society is the industry-leading go-to resource for surgical professionals and the nonsurgical staff that assists and supports them. There is more innovation to come—we have already recruited an Education Reimagined working group to take a fresh look at our education and event offerings. I look forward to sharing more with you soon!

Sincerely,

CEO, The Aesthetic Society & The Aesthetic Foundation
