Aesthetic Symposium Cape Town (ASCT) returns on Saturday 14 November 2026 for a full day of independent, doctor-led education at the UCT GSB Conference Centre, Protea Hotel Cape Town Waterfront Breakwater Lodge.
Founded by Dr Barlodien Kotzé, ASCT brings together experienced clinicians to share honest, practical experience with colleagues. Talks are not company-sponsored, so the focus stays on what speakers have actually learned in their own practice rather than a fixed product message.
11 Speakers Across Aesthetic and Healthy Ageing Medicine
This year’s programme brings together 11 speakers from South Africa and abroad across injectables, biostimulators, skin quality and lasers, ultrasound, hormones and healthy ageing, peptides and regenerative medicine, acne and ethics.
Confirmed speakers include Dr Barlodien Kotzé (FutureFace®), Dr Izolda Heydenrych, Dr Duncan Carmichael, Dr Wade Merchant, Dr Vivien Jandera, Dr Debbie Norval, Dr Wian Stander, Dr Ben Coetsee, and international contributors Dr Dilek Basaran (Istanbul) and Dr Christian Subbio (USA).
The day includes generous tea and lunch breaks with trade partners, providing time for delegates to connect with exhibiting companies and colleagues. CPD accreditation (General and Ethics) is being finalised.
