NORTH CHICAGO, Ill., Jan. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company, the industry leader in aesthetics globally, continues to innovate and elevate the patient journey with the launch of its new AA Signature Program at the International Master Course on Aging Science (IMCAS) World Congress 2024 in Paris from January 30 to February 1, 2025. Congress highlights to include the Allergan Medical Institute (AMI) symposium, with a live injection session, Meet the Expert presentations, and an interactive exhibition booth.

Research found that 8 in 10 patients proceed with treatment plans following a holistic consultation¹ and clinics utilizing treatment plans addressing multiple areas of the face see a 68% higher retention rate compared to those that focus on only one area per treatment². The AA Signature Program provides healthcare professionals (HCPs)* with an innovative approach to treatment planning using the Allergan Aesthetics advanced product portfolio to design signature looks for each patient, addressing different patient needs, including lift (added lift, structure and skin firmness), definition (enhanced facial angles and lower face definition) and skin quality (smoother and firmer skin with more hydration).

IMCAS 2025 AMI Symposium
The AMI hosted symposium, 'AA Signatures: Innovating the Patient Journey' , will focus on how to design a patient's signature look using the Allergan Aesthetics portfolio of high-quality products, education and support services, through real world examples from experts. A live injection session will be performed from the Allergan Center of Excellence in Italy and will focus specifically on 'lift' from the AA Signature Program, which addresses research finding that sagginess is one of the most undesirable facial features.³

Allergan Aesthetics Medical Symposium Mastering the Lower Face and Neck
On Friday January 31, 2025, Dr. Alexandre Marchac, Dr. Karim Sayed, Dr. Patricia Ogilvie and Dr. Sylwia Lipko-Godlewska will spotlight research and the clinical experience needed to achieve optimal patient outcomes during a panel discussion titled 'Mastering the Lower Face and Neck' which will take place from 08:30 AM – 10:00 AM CET in Room 252, Level 2.

With 1 in 2 people bothered by lines / wrinkles around the lower face⁴, this year's Medical Symposium on 'Mastering the Lower Face and Neck' offers HCPs the support and expertise needed to streamline operations, deepen knowledge and ultimately help advance towards aesthetic excellence in this area.
