A congress for facial medicine & aesthetics

A congress built
around the people
in the room.

FACE. Congress brings the full field of facial medicine and aesthetics into one room — surgery, injectables, anatomy, ultrasound and clinical technique, in a focused scientific setting for physicians and selected industry partners. Whether you operate or treat minimally invasively, every medical specialty concerned with the face has a place here. The Vienna Edition continues a congress series built over a decade.

The FACE Philosophy
A physician-only congress for facial medicine and aesthetics.

FACE stands for Facial Medicine & Aesthetics. This is a physician-only congress dedicated to evidence-based teaching — surgical education, anatomy, ultrasound and clinical technique, delivered by an international faculty. Medicine first: we treat the face as a clinical discipline, not a beauty trend.

That is the line we draw. FACE is not a mass aesthetics fair open to non-medical practitioners — the room is reserved for physicians, kept intentionally small, so the exchange within it can be substantial. A scientific congress, set in one of Europe's great medical cities.

Palais Ferstel — Festsaal
The Programme
A scientific programme composed for both surgeons and minimally invasive physicians.

Certified surgical intensives, a dedicated LIVE & LABS format for injectables and minimally invasive procedures, and an ultrasound-safety highlight — an international faculty across two focused days. All teaching is faculty-led and didactic: lecture, demonstration and high-definition video, with no cadaveric component.

One congress, two clinical worlds
Whether you operate or inject — the programme is built for you.

FACE Vienna is deliberately built around both ends of facial medicine. Surgeons and minimally invasive physicians learn side by side, each with a dedicated, high-level track. Every specialty concerned with the face is welcome.

What is FACE?
See the room for yourself.

FACE is a physician-only congress for facial medicine and aesthetics — surgical and minimally invasive, in one focused room. The best way to understand it is to see it: the faculty on stage, the exchange between sessions, the atmosphere of a congress kept intentionally small.

This is the spirit we bring to Vienna in June 2027.

Call for Abstracts

The Setting
Palais Ferstel, a historic stage in the heart of Vienna.
Palais Ferstel — Innenhof
Principal Venue · Congress · Exhibition

Palais Ferstel

A 19th-century palais in the heart of Vienna's first district, and the principal venue of the congress. Built in the 1850s and one of the city's most storied addresses, its grand hall carries the scientific programme and panels, while the light-filled arcades and salons hold the curated exhibition and the conversations between sessions.

Few cities carry the history of medicine the way Vienna does — and few rooms carry it like this one. For exhibitors, the arcade places every partner directly in the flow between sessions: no vast hall to disappear in, only curated, face-to-face contact. The setting is part of the scientific statement.

A second setting
— still under wraps.

The congress unfolds across two Viennese settings. The second is one of the city's most distinctive stages — deliberately kept under wraps for now, and revealed together with the final scientific programme. What we can say: it is intimate, unexpected, and worth the wait. An evening and a surgical stage that delegates will remember long after Vienna.

Those on the waiting list are the first to know when the doors are opened.

Zweite Venue — Wien
Who attends

A room of
physicians.

FACE is physician-only. The room is reserved for qualified medical doctors across every specialty concerned with the face — surgical and minimally invasive alike. This is facial medicine and aesthetics: no non-medical practitioners, no beauty-market crowd. Practice owners and clinical decision-makers with direct influence on treatment concepts and technology adoption.

Why FACE Vienna
A congress worth the journey.

Two focused days, an international faculty, and a room kept small enough for real exchange — surgical and minimally invasive, under one roof.

Certified intensives
Institution-certified surgical intensives led by internationally recognised faculty.
Exclusively facial
A highly specialised congress focused entirely on facial medicine — not a general aesthetics programme.
A limited room
Up to 250 physicians — close enough for genuine exchange with the faculty, on stage and between sessions.
A serious setting
Two historic Viennese venues and a focused, high-level professional environment.
For Industry Partners

Room to be
noticed.

FACE Vienna is deliberately concentrated: up to 250 physicians working in facial medicine and aesthetics, and a deliberately small, selected circle of partners. No vast exhibition hall to disappear in — curated one-to-one contact with specialised physicians, practice owners and clinical decision-makers, in a setting where each company is seen and every conversation has room to breathe. This is where the physicians who set the standard in facial medicine come together — and where your brand belongs beside them.
