A growing middle class and consumers’ evolving attitude toward health and beauty have fuelled a beauty therapy industry worth billions. Now it’s time to uncover the secrets of future market growth for yourself at the 2015 international Comité International d’Esthétique et de Cosmétologie (CIDESCO) Congress which takes place at the Sandton Convention Centre in South Africa, 23-25 May 2015.

During the recent and current economic downturn, the beauty therapy industry has remained one of the strongest performing sectors. To be successful in this competitive field it is imperative to stay ahead of the game.

The CIDESCO Congress is a congress with one goal: to create a non biased platform for all stakeholders in the beauty and skin therapy professions to have open and informative discussions for the improvement of the entire industry.

The theme for the congress is Skin is Alive, and the event will showcase leading exhibitors committed to the advancement of skin therapy. Key speakers will advise delegates on the latest trends, new procedures, new ingredients, business management and financial advice. Delegates can up-skill themselves by attending courses run by innovators and leading international industry experts.

Topics to be covered by international speakers and demonstrations include customer retention, medical aesthetics, spa design and layout, skin resurfacing and micro pigmentation. Delegates are given the opportunity to learn more about new active ingredients, techniques, trending procedures as well as attend demonstrations and courses by industry leaders and meet representatives from all of CIDESCO’s 33 international sections.
