From the 22nd to the 24th of February, the 39th edition of the National Congress of SEME (Spanish Society of Aesthetic Medicine) was held at the Palacio de Ferias y Congresos de Málaga. SEME, the most important aesthetic medicine gathering in Spain, brings together leading national and international experts in this field.
In a 120-square-meter booth, IBSA Iberia dedicated its space to showcasing the significant connection between beauty, science, and ethics in the field of aesthetic medicine.
IBSA Derma envisions Aesthetic Medicine as a realm that enhances the uniqueness and preserves the beauty of each individual. Therefore, the dermoaesthetic division of IBSA Iberia facilitated the gathering of professionals and experts to discuss the angles and challenges it considers essential regarding ethics in Aesthetic Medicine:
"We want aesthetic medicine to focus on the safety and well-being of the patient. Professionals must safeguard the health, safety, and uniqueness of patients, always acting ethically. To achieve this goal, we need to collaborate strictly within medical professionals and scientific societies" commented Jordi Alorda, director of the IBSA Derma in Spain and Portugal.
On Friday, February 23, within the framework of the SEME Congress, the ceremony for the 'Everyone Is a Masterpiece: Egolips' Awards was held at the Carmen Thyssen Museum in Malaga. This competition aims to showcase the talent of Aesthetic Medicine professionals in Spain and Portugal. Following the success of the first edition, this year's competition focused on lip enhancement and remodeling, rewarding the most aesthetically pleasing cases and those with the highest technical difficulty.
With over 100 participants, 30 finalists advanced to the final phase. The 15 finalists for the aesthetic canon underwent voting by approximately 100 Aesthetic Medicine professionals through the awards website, while the winner and super finalists of the aesthetic canon were selected by a jury of international experts:
Furthermore, the surprise of the night was the presentation of the special Dr. Steven Harris award, an international expert on aesthetic medicine and lip treatments, who selected the case of Dr. Cristina Fiallos Sánchez as the best case of the edition.
The third edition of the awards, which aim to become benchmarks in the field of Aesthetic Medicine in Spain and Portugal, will be held in 2025.
