First Australian Conference in Anti-Ageing and Aesthetic Medicine
Medical and health practitioners will learn about the latest developments in the
field of anti-ageing at Australia's first conference in Anti-Ageing and
Aesthetic Medicine to be held on 20-21 October 2007 at the Sofitel Hotel,
Melbourne.
The conference, organised by the AustralAsian Academy of Anti-Ageing Medicine
(A5M), will feature international and local pioneers of anti-ageing medicine
including Dr Robert Goldman, founder of the American Academy of Anti-Aging
Medicine (A4M) and National Academy of Sports Medicine.
The conference will embrace the whole growing area of anti-ageing with topics
such as building a sustainable anti-ageing and preventative medicine practice,
genetics, hormones, hair loss & restoration, diet & exercise physiology, pain
management, obesity, cosmetic procedures including non-surgical body sculpting
and fillers & injectables, cognitive function & depression and others.
Other speakers will include well-known weight-loss practitioner Dr Denise
Bruner, President of the International Council of Integrative Medicine,
Professor Avni Sali, Director of the Australian College of Holistic Medicine, Dr
Melvyn Sydney-Smith and leading Australian Biochemist, Nutritionist and
Dietician Henry Osiecki.
Dr Michael Zacharia, President of A5M, said the popularity of the field of
anti-ageing has grown considerably in the past decade.
"People live longer and so they want to look and feel younger as well. The
principle behind anti-ageing is to give these people the opportunity to live a
longer and healthier life without diseases," he said.
"We talk about the five pillars of anti-ageing – diet, exercise, relaxation,
supplements and medication. We will address all of these during the conference,"
Dr Zacharia said.
The A5M conference will have two streams running in parallel – anti-ageing
medicine and cosmetic medicine. The anti-ageing medicine section is aimed at a
wide range of practitioners and therapists, while the cosmetic medicine section
targets cosmetic physicians and general practitioners.
A5M is offering an early Bird special of $675 for members of A5M and $845 for
non-members, which ends 31 July 2007.
A5M was founded in 2004 to promote the highest standard of education in
anti-ageing medicine through training programs and conferences. A5M aims to
propagate information concerning innovative science and research as well as
treatment modalities designed to prolong the human life span and enhance the
quality of life through augmented health.
