The 1st Pan-American Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine will be held from 4 to 6 September 2008 at the Palace of Congress of Montréal (Canada), under the aegis of the WOSAAM World Society of Anti-Aging Medicine and with the support of many international Societies and renowned scientists.

This event will be one of a kind in America for its unique approach regarding the concept of "Global Aging Management". Over 2000 attendees from all over the world are expected to join.

This meeting is essential to understand and progress in the aging management, which concerns all populations. The PACAAM Exhibition and Congress will showcase the latest technologies and techniques in the field of this fascinating medical approach and fast growing market.

The main purpose of the congress is to assign two parallel scientific programs of high quality in both Anti-Aging Medicine (Life Span and Quality of Life medicine) and Aesthetic Dermatology and Surgery, presented by International renowned experts from all continents.

ANTI-AGING is a branch of medicine focused on how to prevent, slow or reverse the effects of aging thus helping people to live longer and healthier. Recently however, more evidence based medicine has led to anti-aging becoming a multi billion dollar industry with over US$12 billion spent in the US alone. This has been ignited by advances in fields such as tissue engineering, nanotechnology, genetic research and pharmaceutical research. Anti-aging is not just limited to this, it has also had major steps through more understanding of diet and nutrition, exercise and fitness, wellness and spas and also education and the prevention of diseases.

AESTHETIC Medicine established the need to run a larger event, and matching this discipline with anti-aging is the ideal solution.

Combining the two disciplines let us present you the following scientific program:

ANTI-AGING MEDICINE PROGRAM:
