This contribution is the result of the research work of Dr. Silvia Bianchi, member of the Agorà Anti-Aging Medicine Focus Group, and represents one of the first concrete outcomes of the group's shared scientific activity. The dossier presents a systematic review of the recent literature (2019–2024) on intravenous anti-aging therapy with NAD⁺ and glutathione, with the aim of providing an evidence-based overview for aesthetic physicians, endocrinologists and specialists in rege

A multidisciplinary preliminary report, currently undergoing peer review in an indexed scientific journal, systematically documents for the first time the impact of long-lasting aesthetic sequelae on patients' quality of life and psychological well-being. Authored by a group of contributors affiliated with Agorà — Italian Society of Aesthetic Medicine — alongside professionals in psychology and rehabilitative medicine, the work represents the first scientific publication of t

Dr. Belmontesi, coordinator of the Agorà Dermocosmesi Focus Group, carried out two medical-scientific outreach activities on the same day, both focused on dermocosmetics and collagen. During the morning, she participated as a speaker at the presentation of the Vichy Collagen Nutricosmetic at the Vichy medical division, bringing the Focus Group's scientific contribution on the topic of oral collagen supplementation and its synergy with topical dermocosmetics. In the evening, s

Energy-based devices (fractional lasers, IPL, radiofrequency, HIFU, plasma) induce a controlled tissue inflammatory response that temporarily compromises the skin barrier function. Peri-procedural dermocosmetic management is not an optional add-on, but a therapeutic component with a direct impact on downtime, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and long-term outcomes. Pre-procedural phase (2-6 weeks before) Skin preparation reduces the risk of complications and homogeni

Dr. Talerico, member of the Agorà Dermocosmesi Focus Group, was the protagonist of two educational events organised by Vichy in April 2026, as a medical-scientific speaker on the topic of collagen and its oral supplementation. The two events — aimed at very different professional and communicative targets — offered the opportunity to convey the same scientific content through differentiated languages and approaches. Event 1 | 23 April 2026 — Vichy Collagen Tour The first even

Introduction Hyaluronic acid (HA) lip fillers represent one of the most widely performed procedures in aesthetic medicine today, with demand growing consistently over recent years. Despite broad clinical experience, perceptions of efficacy and safety have often been shaped by empirical observation rather than robust quantitative data. Against this backdrop, the systematic review and meta-analysis by Wen et al. carries particular significance: by analyzing exclusively randomiz

On April 11, 2026, at Monterosa 91 in Milan, Agorà Up To Date 2026 took place — a scientific update day dedicated to physician members of the Società Italiana di Medicina ad Indirizzo Estetico – Agorà, organized with the support of the Society's Focus Groups. The event provided an intensive educational forum integrating the latest scientific evidence with clinical experience sharing, interactive discussion, and real case presentations. The day opened with an institutional add

On April 13, 2026, at the Padova Convention Centre, the first joint Agorà–SIUMB course on ultrasound integration in aesthetic medicine practice was held. Theoretical sessions on anatomy, complication management and regulatory framework alternated with small-group hands-on training. This is the second module of a pathway leading to the Joint Agorà–SIUMB Diploma.

Anche nel 2026 Agorà ha partecipato alla Milano Marathon – Relay Marathon, unendo sport e responsabilità sociale. Sedici runner, divisi in quattro squadre, hanno corso a sostegno di AIRC – Fondazione per la Ricerca sul Cancro, trasformando l’attività fisica in un gesto concreto per la ricerca oncologica. Un’iniziativa che promuove salute, condivisione e impegno verso un obiettivo comune.

The IMCAS Congress represents one of the leading international meetings dedicated to aesthetic medicine, dermatology, and plastic surgery, bringing together every year in Paris thousands of specialists from around the world to discuss the latest scientific and technological developments in the field. In 2026, numerous members of the Scientific Committee of Agorà – Italian Society of Aesthetic Medicine also attended the congress, contributing to the international scientific ex

What really happens in the dermis? One of the most relevant advances in recent scientific literature concerns the increasingly precise understanding of the biological dynamics of tattoo pigment. Contrary to the intuitive assumption that ink remains statically “deposited” in the skin, histological evidence demonstrates that tattoo pigment localizes within the dermis, where it is primarily engulfed by dermal macrophages and fibroblasts¹. This point is fundamental: tattoos do no

Commentary on the Article "Hyaluronic Acid Fillers and ASIA Syndrome: Case Studies” ASIA syndrome (Autoimmune/Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants), first described in 2011 by Professor Yehuda Schoenfeld, encompasses a group of clinical conditions in which the immune response is excessively modulated by substances with an adjuvant role—that is, molecules capable of enhancing the immune response without acting as direct antigens. These substances directly interfere with

L’articolo offre una revisione approfondita sull’impiego della ialuronidasi in medicina estetica, con particolare attenzione alle formulazioni disponibili, agli aspetti di sicurezza e alla pratica clinica. La ialuronidasi rappresenta uno strumento utile nella gestione delle complicanze correlate ai filler a base di acido ialuronico, quali ipercorrezioni, noduli ed eventi vascolari. L’analisi evidenzia un’ampia variabilità nelle modalità di utilizzo e una carenza di protocolli

Milano-Cortina 2026: in montagna la performance passa anche dalla pelle. Raggi UV, freddo e vento richiedono idratazione e fotoprotezione mirate.

Milan–Cortina 2026: in the mountains, performance also depends on skin health. UV radiation, cold and wind require targeted hydration and photoprotection.

Scientific research represents one of the fundamental pillars for the advancement of medicine and for the tangible improvement of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oncological diseases. Within this framework lies the long-standing commitment of Agorà for Scientific Research, which since 2020 has been funding an annual research fellowship in collaboration with Fondazione Umberto Veronesi ETS. Bearing witness to the value of this shared path, Professor Paolo Veronesi expr

Pediatric Dermocosmetics: Agorà Calls for Responsibility in the Use of Cosmetics for Minors and Highlights the Importance of Age-Appropriate Skincare Routines Agorà – the Italian Society of Aesthetic Medicine – draws attention to an issue of growing clinical and social relevance: the use of dermocosmetic products from an early age. Increased exposure to digital content and adult-oriented beauty trends is driving a progressively earlier and not always appropriate adoption of s
