As the President of ISDS, I am proud to lead a global network of experts dedicated to advancing dermatologic and aesthetic surgery. For over four decades, ISDS has been at the forefront of promoting education, research, and clinical practice in this rapidly evolving field.
Our society is more than just an academic association, we are a community that fosters a culture of excellence, inclusivity, and collegiality. Our members come from diverse backgrounds and regions, united by the common goal of advancing the science and art of dermatologic and aesthetic surgery.

We promote a culture of collegiality among our members, where our interactions are marked by mutual respect, unbiased sharing of information, and the absence of competition in scientific pursuits.

As a society, we consider ourselves a family. Our members share a bond of trust and mutual support, stemming from our common passion for making a difference in the lives of our patients. We strive to provide a platform for exchanging knowledge and fostering social networks, leading to long-lasting collaborations and friendships.
