For years, aesthetic medicine has been defined by correction — fixing what time has marked. But a profound shift is underway, turning the focus towards regeneration: understanding how the body restores, strengthens, and renews itself from within. On Saturday, 23 May, this evolution takes centre stage in Cape Town with the debut of The Future Aesthetics Symposium 2026: Design Your Regeneration.
Hosted by renowned plastic surgeon Dr Nerina Wilkinson and her team of experts, this exclusive one-day gathering will unfold in the elegant ballroom of the Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel. With just 150 guests in attendance, the symposium offers an immersive exploration of the science and strategy behind regenerative aesthetics — the first event of its kind in South Africa.
Throughout the day, Dr Nerina and her team will guide attendees through the rapidly evolving landscape of regenerative treatments, unpacking the technologies and scientific developments shaping the future of skin health. Expect honest conversations about trends, breakthroughs, and the fine line between hype and proven results. This is an opportunity to approach ageing not as something to resist, but as something to design thoughtfully and intelligently.
More than a series of presentations, the symposium is a carefully curated experience. Between sessions, guests will enjoy champagne, canapés, and full culinary hospitality. Interactive stands from leading global brands — including AQ Skin Solutions, iS Clinical, NeoStrata, Heliocare, UnicSkin, Arthrex, InMode, and Dermalux — will invite attendees to explore the innovations that form part of the treatment protocols at Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates.
Every guest will depart with a luxury gift bag valued at R8 500, featuring premium products from the participating brands. Throughout the day, there will also be opportunities to win luxury prizes valued at R50 000, including an exclusive UnicSkin LED mask and a full AQ Skin Solutions range.
At its heart, the symposium is about empowerment. As Dr Nerina explains, the goal is simple: to create a space where science, innovation, and thoughtful conversation come together to reshape how we think about ageing.
Tickets are strictly limited to 150 guests and go on sale via Quicket on 27 March, priced at R950 per ticket. For those ready to discover where regeneration — not reversal — is the new frontier, this is an invitation not to be missed.
