All educational sessions will be available for on-demand viewing on the virtual platform for one month after the conference for continued learning.

The Aesthetic Extender Symposium will discuss at length trends in aesthetics, while taking care to educate attendees on the science behind a multitude of aesthetic products and services. This will be done utilizing several proven learning techniques, such as hands-on learning, expert panel discussions, and didactic lectures.
