Pune (Maharashtra): The International School of Clinical Aesthetics (ISCA) hosted the highly anticipated Global Aesthetic Summit 2024, a two-day event that attracted over 200 leading doctors and medical professionals in the field of clinical aesthetics. Held on the 25th and 26th of August in Pune, the summit facilitated discussions on advanced aesthetic treatments and cutting-edge medical innovations shaping the future of skincare and cosmetic treatments.

She shared her insights during a discussion with Dr. Trishna Gupte, Founder of Cosmo Square and ISCA, emphasising that seeking help for real or perceived flaws should be normalised as an integral part of health services.

Dr. Trishna Gupte, the organising chairperson, led the summit, which included scientific sessions covering topics such as laser advances, hyperpigmentation, body contouring, scar correction, and more. In her statement, Dr. Gupte remarked, "We are thrilled to have witnessed such an incredible turnout of experts from the field of aesthetics.
