Attendees at ACE 2025 had the incredible chance to dive into all things medical aesthetics for two action-packed days at the Business Design Centre in London! With over 80 brands, 120 world-class speakers, and 5 CPD Conferences, the 14th and 15th of March made ACE 2025 one for the books.
Simply because, this not-to-be-missed event allowed doctors, dentists, dermatologists, nurses, pharmacists, and aestheticians to remain at the forefront of the aesthetics industry. It also gave attendees the opportunity to gain practical business advice and rub shoulders with the who’s who of the industry, helping to maximise their clinics’ success.
Brought to you by Aesthetics (the visionary brand behind CCR, The Aesthetics Awards, and the esteemed Aesthetics Journal), ACE has consistently set the benchmark for excellence, innovation, and industry leadership, year after year.
How ACE Has Earned Its Reputation
ACE (short for Aesthetics Conference & Exhibition) first swung open its doors in 2011, and over the past 14 years it has gone from strength to strength. Its goal was to provide those who work within the aesthetic industry access to the latest news, techniques, and developments in aesthetic medicine.
ACE hosted conferences packed with first-class educational content, covering everything from live injectable demos to clinical sessions designed to help attendees grow. A world-class exhibition was also on display, featuring leading brands and the newest aesthetic products.
But ACE was not just about learning and exploring, it was also about celebrating those making major waves in the industry. That’s why the Aesthetics Awards, famously known as the “Oscars of Aesthetics,” were born.
Attending ACE gave delegates the chance to hear about the latest trends and innovations in the industry, gain practical business advice from some of the very best, and discover cutting-edge products and technology to take their clinics to the next level. And this year was no different. Attendees experienced revolutionary products on display, including LED light therapy, dermocosmetics, hyaluronic acid fillers, cannulas, permanent fillers, ingestibles, and non-invasive body contouring devices. They also had the opportunity to learn from industry leaders, gaining insights to help advance their skills.
