The 2020 Symposium for Cosmetic Advances and Laser Education, frequently shortened to SCALE, is the party of the year for medical professionals in the cosmetics, aesthetics, laser, and dermatological fields, just to name a few! Our agenda covers a wide range of topics that are meant to both inform and engage attendees about the latest technological advances in medicine and beauty. There is no requirement for attendees to have any sort of medical background whatsoever. Instead, we welcome anyone with a desire to enjoy a jam-packed event with over 100 exhibitors and sponsors, all dedicated to bringing the dermatological and cosmetics worlds together.
