Activity Description
The event will take place on 16–17 November 2026 at the Radisson Collection Hotel, Vadistanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye.
This event is intended exclusively for qualified medical doctors. It is not designed or promoted as a certification course, vocational training programme or professional qualification. It is a scientific and educational meeting focusing on the clinical approaches, professional experience and aesthetic medicine practices of Gladstone Faria, M.D., Plastic Surgeon.
The programme will include:
Scientific presentations and clinical discussions;
Case-based educational sessions;
Discussion of treatment planning and patient assessment;
Demonstrations of aesthetic medical procedures performed by Dr Gladstone Faria;
Clinical observations, safety considerations and complication-prevention principles;
Question-and-answer and professional discussion sessions.
The procedure demonstrations are intended solely for scientific observation and educational purposes. Participants will not receive a professional licence, qualification, competency certificate or authorisation to perform any procedure as a result of attending the meeting.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this scientific meeting, participating medical doctors will be able to:
Describe the anatomical and clinical considerations relevant to aesthetic treatment planning.
Discuss appropriate patient assessment and patient-selection principles before aesthetic procedures.
Identify key safety considerations, contraindications and potential complications associated with injectable aesthetic treatments.
Explain the clinical rationale behind different treatment approaches demonstrated by Gladstone Faria, M.D., Plastic Surgeon.
Observe and critically evaluate treatment planning, injection strategy and procedural decision-making through physician-led clinical demonstrations.
Recognise approaches for reducing procedural risks and improving patient safety.
Discuss evidence-based principles relating to aesthetic medicine, anatomy, product characteristics and complication prevention.
Reflect on how the scientific and clinical information presented may inform their own professional medical practice.
The activity is designed to enhance continuing professional development and clinical understanding. It does not provide a new professional qualification, certification or independent procedural competency.
Assessment Method
As this activity is a scientific CPD meeting rather than a certification or competency-based training course, participants will not undergo a practical skills examination.
Learning will be evaluated through:
A pre-event questionnaire to establish participants' baseline knowledge and expectations.
A post-event questionnaire to assess changes in knowledge and understanding following the scientific sessions.
Knowledge-based questions relating to patient assessment, treatment planning, anatomy, safety, complication awareness and the clinical principles discussed during the meeting.
Participant feedback regarding the relevance, educational quality and applicability of the scientific content.
Attendance monitoring to confirm participation in the accredited CPD activity.
Clinical procedures performed during the event will be demonstrations conducted by Gladstone Faria, M.D. Participants will observe the procedures for educational purposes and will not be assessed as competent to independently perform any procedure.
No certificate issued as part of this activity will represent a professional qualification or procedural competency. Any certificate provided will confirm attendance/CPD participation only.
