Music City LONGEVITY @ SCALE · New for 2027
Longevity medicine and regenerative aesthetics, backed by evidence
What works. What is next. What the evidence says.
Rather than attending multiple meetings to cover aesthetics, procedural care, and longevity medicine, clinicians can now get that education in one place, with one registration.
Current registration rates are available through January 1, 2027, before prices increase.
One registration
Longevity content is included with Music City SCALE registration.
Four program themes
From the biology of aging to integrating longevity into practice.
Longevity Co-Chair
Dr. Dominik Thor, MSc, President, Geneva College of Longevity Science
Hands-on workshops
Pair longevity sessions with SCALE's workshops and add-on courses.
Why longevity, why SCALE
Evidence-based longevity medicine, inside the meeting you already know
Music City LONGEVITY @ SCALE is a new program on longevity medicine, regenerative aesthetics, and healthy aging, developed in collaboration with Dominik Thor, MSc, President of the Geneva College of Longevity Science (GCLS). It debuts at the 22nd Annual Music City SCALE (Symposium for Cosmetic Advances & Laser Education).
Everything attendees value about SCALE remains, now strengthened by evidence-based longevity education for dermatologists, plastic surgeons, oculoplastic surgeons, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and aesthetics professionals. The longevity program runs inside the SCALE agenda, alongside hands-on workshops, live demonstrations, and aesthetics and medical dermatology sessions.
"As we better understand the biology of aging, clinicians can move beyond treating its visible signs to addressing the underlying processes that influence skin health, regeneration, and long-term patient outcomes."
The program
What the longevity program will cover
Programming is expected to center on four themes, shaped by Dr. Thor with SCALE's co-founders and co-chairs. The full agenda and additional faculty will be announced.
The biology of aging
The underlying processes that influence skin health, regeneration, and long-term patient outcomes.
Assessing the aging patient
Biomarkers and biological age, connected to the questions clinicians encounter in practice.
Prevention and regeneration
Skin longevity and regenerative aesthetics, considered alongside the procedural services practices already offer.
Integrating longevity into clinical practice
Translating evolving science into responsible, evidence-based clinical practice.
Topics under consideration
Each topic will be addressed with its evidence and its limitations.
Program leadership
Led by longevity science and SCALE's co-chairs

"LONGEVITY @ SCALE gives attendees a credible way to examine the science of healthy aging and regenerative medicine and weigh how it applies to patient care."
"This program gives clinicians who provide procedural care a shared, evidence-based foundation for thinking about prevention and regeneration alongside the services they already offer."
Built on the SCALE agenda
Longevity is already part of SCALE

Frequently asked questions
What is Music City LONGEVITY @ SCALE?
Music City LONGEVITY @ SCALE is a new educational offering within the 22nd Annual Music City SCALE focused on longevity medicine, regenerative aesthetics, and healthy aging. It provides credible, evidence-based education that connects aging biology with the questions clinicians encounter in practice.
Is LONGEVITY @ SCALE a separate registration?
No. Registration for Music City SCALE includes access to the longevity content.
When and where is Music City SCALE 2027?
The 22nd Annual Music City SCALE takes place May 19-23, 2027, at the Grand Hyatt Nashville in Nashville, Tennessee.
What will the longevity program cover?
Programming is organized around four themes: the biology of aging, assessing the aging patient through biomarkers and biological age, prevention and regeneration, and integrating longevity into clinical practice. Stem cells, peptides, exosomes, and AI are among the topics under consideration, with their evidence and limitations to be addressed.
Who should attend?
The program is designed for dermatologists, plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, oculoplastic surgeons, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, aesthetic injectors, and practice owners and leaders interested in regenerative medicine, prevention, skin longevity, and healthy aging.
Who is leading the longevity program?
Dominik Thor, MSc, president of the Geneva College of Longevity Science (GCLS) in Switzerland, serves as Longevity Co-Chair. He works alongside Music City SCALE co-founders and co-chairs Michael H. Gold, MD, and Brian S. Biesman, MD, FACS, and academic co-chair Jacqueline Watchmaker, MD.
