AM LONDON 2026

CLINICAL CAPITAL

Aesthetic Medicine London 2026 returned to Olympia on Friday, 8 and Saturday, 9 May, delivering one of its most successful editions to date.

Bringing together 3,268 attendees, with a 40% increase in verified medics, Aesthetic Medicine London once again proved itself as a must-attend destination for the UK’s medical aesthetic community.

Over two dynamic days, doctors, nurses, clinic owners and industry professionals came together to explore the latest innovations, enhance their clinical knowledge and connect with leading brands.

Held at Olympia London, the show continues to cement its position as a key meeting point for professionals looking to stay at the forefront of this fast-evolving sector.

“AM London 2026 was one of the best events we have had,” said Aesthetic Medicine editor Kezia Parkins. “The energy was electric, the education was exciting and cutting-edge, and it was incredible to see busy stands and happy visitors.”

“It’s taken a long time, but this year Aesthetic Medicine finally achieved its aim of becoming the heart of the industry,” said managing director Mark Moloney. “The event delivered for the professional community, our association partners and the brands and suppliers. ”

EDUCATION

A major highlight of this year’s event was its extensive educational offering, with eight stages delivering a packed programme of expert-led sessions, live demonstrations and business insights.

Attendees benefited from a wide range of content designed specifically for nurses, doctors, clinic owners and aesthetic practitioners at all levels.

For the first time, AML, in partnership with the British Association of Medical Aesthetic Nurses (BAMAN), saw the BAMAN Spring Symposium take place as part of the conference.

The BAMAN Spring Symposium featured a full clinical agenda along with advanced live demonstrations where leading practitioners shared the latest advancements and insights within the medical aesthetic nursing field.

Chaired by renowned expert Mr Ali Ghanem on day two and consultant nurse practitioner Tracey Dennison on day one, the R.E.A.L Summit was hosted for the first time at Aesthetic Medicine London, featuring an action-packed two-day agenda.

Elsewhere, the stage programmes covered clinical techniques, emerging technologies and practical strategies to support business growth, reinforcing AML’s commitment to education-led progression within the industry.

DRIVING INNOVATION AND GROWTH

From cutting-edge devices and injectables to regenerative medicine and skincare innovations, the exhibition floor showcased the very latest advancements shaping the future of aesthetics.

Live demo theatres and hands-on experiences allowed attendees to see new techniques in action, while networking opportunities enabled meaningful connections across the industry.

SPEAKER HIGHLIGHTS

The success of AML 2026 is reflected in the overwhelmingly positive feedback from attending practitioners, with many highlighting the value of the education, networking and live demonstrations.

Dr Sabika Karim, aesthetic doctor and founder of Skin Medical, presented at the R.E.A.L Summit, focusing on precision bio-stimulation and regenerative treatments.

“We discussed bio-stimulators, polymers, and what makes truly effective regenerative treatments. What was particularly special was the opportunity to be surrounded by so many key opinion leaders and thought leaders from around the world. It was not only about sharing knowledge, but also about learning from colleagues. It was a fantastic networking and educational experience,” Dr Karim commented.

Dr Jos Gristolos, plastic surgeon at The Ghanem Clinic, presented on combining minimally invasive surgical and non-surgical techniques to deliver holistic patient outcomes.

“I spoke about how we can combine minimally invasive surgical and non-surgical approaches for holistic patient treatment. In particular, I focused on bio-stimulators and how they can be combined with radiofrequency technology to achieve long-lasting, optimal results for patients. I invite attendees to follow our ongoing work and research in this area,” he shared.

Nurse practitioner Alex Mills delivered a live demonstration focused on subtle lip enhancement techniques, engaging delegates with practical, patient-focused outcomes.

“The live demonstration was a great opportunity to share professional knowledge. We had a lot of engagement during the session, with many questions from the audience, which made it highly interactive and insightful. It was also valuable personally, as I gained new perspectives through the discussion. It was a pleasure to be part of the London event on such a positive, sunny day,” she said.

EXHIBITOR INSIGHTS

Australian skincare brand, ESK exhibited at Aesthetic Medicine London, showcasing their evidence-based skincare range which was highlighted in aesthetic practitioner Dr Kai’s session discussing hyperpigmentation in skin of colour.

“AM London continues to be an excellent opportunity to connect with both new and existing customers, and to engage directly with the wider aesthetics community,” said co-founder and CEO, Daniel Rubinstein.

Vivacy exhibited in our Clinical Area, which allowed medical professionals to access leading injectable brands and expert-led sessions and demonstrations in the Clinical Excellence Theatre.

“Aesthetic Medicine London is a great opportunity to be in the same space as KOLs, faculty members, doctors, nurses and aesthetic professionals all together. The event provides a valuable environment for connection and engagement across the industry,” shared sales director, Katie Hughes-Dawkins.

LOOKING AHEAD

With record engagement, a strong educational programme and a vibrant exhibition floor, Aesthetic Medicine London 2026 has set a new benchmark for the industry.

As the event continues to grow year on year, it remains a vital hub for advancing knowledge, discovering innovation and strengthening the aesthetic medicine community.

Aesthetic Medicine Regional Fourm Leeds is coming on June 9, 2026, bringing world-class education and innovation to the North at the Royal Armouries Museum.

This focused one-day forum delivers hands-on experience with the latest aesthetic devices, fresh treatment protocols, and smart business strategies to help you elevate patient outcomes and increase clinic profitability.
