On March 14 of this year, the 5th Scientific Conference “Cosmetology of the Future. Hi-Tech” was held at WSB University, devoted to the latest trends, technologies, and challenges of contemporary cosmetology. The event brought together experts, practitioners from the beauty industry, representatives of the scientific community, students, and individuals interested in the development of modern skin therapy methods.
The conference was opened by Dr. Justyna Misiak, Vice-Dean of the Collegium Medicum of WSB University, who welcomed the participants and emphasized the importance of cooperation between science and practice in the dynamically developing field of cosmetology.
During the plenary session, speakers presented innovative technological solutions used in modern aesthetic therapies. Participants had the opportunity to listen to presentations on, among others, longevity technology in cosmetology, next-generation laser epilation, biomicroneedling, and the application of therapies with frequencies of 470 and 448 kHz in postoperative aesthetics. An important element of the program was also a lecture by Dr. Anna Kulpok, MD, from the Collegium Medicum of WSB University, devoted to treatment documentation as an element of due diligence in the work of a cosmetologist.

A significant point of the program was also the discussion panel “The profession of cosmetologist after the announcement of the Ministry of Health – competencies, safety, and the future of the profession,” which included representatives of the scientific community, the cosmetology industry, and professional organizations. The discussion concerned, among other things, the scope of cosmetologists’ competencies, the safety of performing procedures, and the directions of professional development in the context of changing regulations.
In the further part of the conference, a lecture session was held, during which experts discussed, among others, the use of thulium lasers in medicine and cosmetology, photobiomodulation in regenerative therapies, the use of exosomes in combination with laser therapy, and modern devices for skin diagnostics.
The event was also accompanied by a poster session, exhibitors’ presentations, and certified workshops organized by the Student Scientific Circle of Cosmetology. During the conference, the results of a make-up competition were also announced, and participants took part in a prize draw.
The “Cosmetology of the Future.
