Clinical Aesthetics Symposium (CAS25)
Friday 16th - Saturday 17th May 2025


June 2025 update from Carly Scapens, NZDNS Chair

This event was a very full two days, and covered many areas in the field of aesthetics. We heard from passionate clinicians from around NZ and Australia, as well as further afield. The topics were wide ranging from practice techniques and off-label applications for well known medications, to body dysmorphic disorder and the cultural differences between Asian and Western clientele. 
There was a notable focus on the increasing trend for regenerative treatments that are targeting skin at a cellular level, and improved tissue health and skin quality becoming a top priority.
I was lucky enough to attend this as my first ever aesthetics-focused event, and it was a pleasure to meet so many inspiring expert nurses from around New Zealand, and it highlighted the crossover between aesthetics and dermatology practice areas. I look forward to future collaboration with both CAS and the Clinical Aesthetic Network New Zealand (CANNZ), as I see potential for expanded educational opportunities for our combined members.

We are delighted to announce that the Clinical Aesthetics Symposium (CAS25) which is to be held at the Cordis Hotel in Auckland have generously offered exclusive discounts to current NZDNS members. 

There is much overlap between dermatology nursing and clinical aesthetics, with a growing number of nurses involved in the dynamic field of aesthetics, both surgical and non-surgical. With limited time in our annual conference we often overlook this rapidly expanding area of dermatology nursing education.
CAS25 is a fantastic opportunity to expand your knowledge, learn about cutting edge technology and techniques, and connect with other professionals in this exciting two day event. 
There are also pre-symposium workshops available to CAS25 delegates on Thursday 15th May with significant discounts for CANNZ members.
