This November, DIAS – Academy for Dermatologists takes its vision for advanced medical aesthetics beyond borders.

From 16–19 November 2026, a select group of just 35 dermatologists and plastic surgeons will gather in Graz, Austria, for DIAS IC5 2026 – Graz Aesthetic Masterclass, organised by DIAS in association with the Medical University of Graz.

Designed as an International Injectable Customised Cadaveric Capsule Certificate Course, IC5 2026 brings together advanced aesthetic learning, detailed facial anatomy, cadaveric education and international mentorship in one highly curated experience.

This is not simply another aesthetic medicine course.

It is an immersive international learning experience created exclusively for medical specialists seeking to refine their understanding of contemporary facial aesthetics.

DIAS Goes Global

Aesthetic medicine has evolved far beyond technique alone.

For today's dermatologist and plastic surgeon, excellence requires a deeper understanding of anatomy, facial dynamics, treatment planning and the scientific principles behind modern injectable aesthetics.

With IC5 2026, DIAS is creating an environment where specialists can learn beyond conventional lecture halls and explore aesthetics through a more sophisticated, anatomy-led perspective.

Set against the academic and cultural backdrop of Austria, the program combines medical education with an international exchange of ideas, experience and expertise.

An Advanced Masterclass Built Around Anatomy

At the heart of aesthetic medicine lies anatomy.

Every facial assessment, injectable procedure and treatment strategy depends upon a precise understanding of structures beneath the skin.

Muscles.

Ligaments.

Vascular structures.

Nerves.

Fat compartments.

Facial planes.

Each contributes to the appearance, movement and ageing pattern of the face.

For a practising dermatologist or plastic surgeon, understanding these anatomical relationships is fundamental to approaching aesthetic medicine with greater depth and precision.

IC5 2026 therefore places cadaveric learning and facial anatomy at the centre of the educational experience.

Beyond Textbooks: The Value of Cadaveric Learning

Illustrations and digital models can explain anatomy.

Cadaveric education allows doctors to experience its three-dimensional relationships more directly.

For specialists involved in facial aesthetics, this type of education offers an opportunity to examine the anatomical structures that influence assessment, procedural planning and aesthetic decision-making.

The International Injectable Customised Cadaveric Capsule Certificate Course has been conceived to help participating doctors connect anatomical knowledge with their understanding of contemporary injectable aesthetics.

It is this combination of science, anatomy and clinical perspective that makes advanced cadaveric learning increasingly valuable within aesthetic medical education.

Exclusively for Dermatologists & Plastic Surgeons

IC5 2026 has intentionally been designed as a specialist-only program.

Participation is restricted to:

Dermatologists

and

Plastic Surgeons

This distinction is important.

Rather than functioning as a broad cosmetology or introductory aesthetics course, the masterclass is intended for qualified medical specialists who already understand clinical medicine and wish to explore aesthetic practice at a more advanced level.

With only 35 seats available, the experience is designed to remain intimate, focused and academically relevant.

Why This Matters for a Dermatologist

Dermatology and aesthetics are becoming increasingly interconnected.

Patients today seek solutions involving skin quality, facial ageing, injectable treatments and other minimally invasive aesthetic procedures.

For a dermatologist, expanding knowledge of facial anatomy and aesthetic medicine can complement an already strong foundation in skin science.

IC5 2026 offers dermatologists the opportunity to explore aesthetic learning from an international and anatomy-driven perspective.

Why This Matters for a Plastic Surgeon

For a plastic surgeon, facial anatomy forms part of everyday clinical thinking.

However, modern aesthetics increasingly combines surgical understanding with sophisticated non-surgical approaches.

Advanced education in injectable aesthetics can therefore provide an additional dimension to the way plastic surgeons assess facial proportions, ageing patterns and treatment possibilities.

The Graz Aesthetic Masterclass has been created to bring dermatologists and plastic surgeons together within a shared specialist learning environment.

Learn in Graz, Austria

The setting is as distinctive as the program itself.

Participants will travel to Graz, Austria, a city known for its academic heritage, historic architecture and European character.

The masterclass includes learning experiences associated with:

Medical University of Graz

Graz, Austria

and

Schloss Seggau

Frauenberg 1, 8430 Leibnitz, Austria

Together, these settings create an environment designed to take medical education beyond the ordinary.

International Mentorship. Specialist Community. Global Perspective.

Advanced learning is shaped not only by curriculum, but also by the people participating in it.

IC5 2026 offers doctors an opportunity to learn in the presence of international mentors while exchanging perspectives with fellow dermatologists and plastic surgeons.

Such an environment can create meaningful academic conversations around:

• Facial anatomy
• Aesthetic assessment
• Injectable medicine
• Clinical approach
• Contemporary aesthetic concepts
• International perspectives in medical aesthetics

For specialists, this peer-to-peer exchange can be as valuable as the formal learning itself.

DIAS, Dermatology Education and the Wider IADVL Community

India has one of the world's most active dermatology communities.

Professional organisations such as IADVL – the Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists – contribute to the broader academic and professional ecosystem in which Indian dermatologists continue to learn, collaborate and advance their speciality.

Within this evolving environment, many dermatologists are also seeking specialised educational opportunities in aesthetic dermatology, facial anatomy, injectables and international aesthetic medicine.

Programs such as DIAS IC5 2026 provide another pathway for specialists who want to complement their ongoing professional education with international exposure.

IADVL is referenced solely in the context of India's professional dermatology ecosystem. No IADVL association, endorsement or affiliation with DIAS IC5 2026 is implied unless officially announced.

Only 35 Doctors. One International Experience.

The Graz Aesthetic Masterclass is deliberately limited to 35 dermatologists and plastic surgeons.

The smaller cohort is intended to create a more focused specialist experience.

Registrations are being accepted on a:

First-Come, First-Served Basis

For doctors considering the program, early registration is strongly recommended.

Four Days That Go Beyond the Classroom

The best medical education does more than deliver information.

It changes the way a doctor observes.

The way a doctor analyses.

The way anatomy is understood.

And ultimately, the way clinical decisions are approached.

DIAS IC5 2026 – Graz Aesthetic Masterclass has been designed around this philosophy.

Four days.

An international destination.

A specialist medical community.

Cadaveric anatomy.

Injectable aesthetics.

International mentorship.

And just 35 dermatologists and plastic surgeons.
