It is with great enthusiasm that I invite you to join us March 27-30, 2025, at the inaugural MAC Hilton Head conference. After several years of discussion, research, and planning, the decision has been made to move forward with what I feel will become an influential and unique opportunity for continuing medical education in a one-of-a-kind setting.  

Even more exciting is our partnership with Dr. Joel Schlessinger and his Cosmetic Surgery Forum conference. Joel has been running a very successful conference focusing on less invasive cosmetic treatments for the past 10 years and now the MAC and the Cosmetic Surgery Forum will join to create an unparalleled educational opportunity.  

My intention is to bring together an outstanding faculty for a three and a half day meeting that focuses on current best practices and recent developments in aesthetic medicine, including both clinical and practice management and marketing strategies.

During the conference, there will be time for afternoon golf of various formats. Whether you're a seasoned golfer or looking to enjoy a leisurely game, the MAC will provide the perfect opportunity to unwind, network, and soak in the beauty of the resort. Additionally, there will be ample opportunity for biking, boating, tennis, pickleball, and of course, time spent on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The newly renovated Westin Hilton Head Resort ranks as one of the country’s premier family beach resorts and provides us with an unparalleled meeting space to hold this exciting event.

With the above in mind, we would ask that you reserve these dates on your calendar so that you might be part of our inaugural joining of the MAC and Cosmetic Surgery Forum.

A Letter From Dr. Schlessinger

It is with great pleasure that I announce the integration of Cosmetic Surgery Forum into the MAC Conference (Multispecialty Aesthetic Conference), to be held in Hilton Head from March 27th to the 30th, 2025 at the oceanfront Westin Hilton Head Island Resort. It is going to be a great opportunity to see and meet with leaders in the field in a convivial manner in a beautiful location. Dr. Waldman and I have known each other for over 20 years and have always respected how we ran meetings, often collaborating on individual tasks. When the opportunity came to join forces and enlarge the scope and purpose of Cosmetic Surgery Forum, I was delighted as it gave us the chance to work together once more and offer another unique learning opportunity for both dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons. Cosmetic Surgery Forum has always been known for its didactic, yet Socratic approach to CME and this meeting will be the same format. There will be a focus on sessions that train how to be a cosmetic dermatologist, from beginners to advanced techniques.   We hope you join Randy and myself in Hilton Head next March 27th through 30th. It is going to be a wonderful time and highly educational experience at a world-class resort.  P.S. Hilton Head has once again been named the top island resort destination in the United States! Be sure to bring the entire family or reward your hard-working staff. ‍
