Chairperson’s Address

Chairperson Hiroo Teranishi, who graduated from Hyogo Medical University in 2004, emphasized that this annual conference, although first held last year, has deep roots dating back to August 2021. Initially started by a few colleagues as a research group focusing on surgical techniques, it has grown to encompass a much larger community, with membership approaching 366 as of January 2025.

As aesthetic medicine continues to become more integrated into our daily lives, the need for proper education and training of physicians is paramount. This year's theme encapsulates a commitment to continuously improve the quality of aesthetic medicine and create a better future.
This conference will feature various sessions that promote discussion on various topics, including general presentations, video symposiums, and special lectures. Attendees are encouraged to join in on active discussions and expand their knowledge base.

The conference’s accessible location, just a three-minute walk from Nihon-Odori Station, offers all participants an excellent opportunity to attend. JAPSA looks forward to your participation, contributing to meaningful discussions on the future of aesthetic medicine.
