Prof Bob Khanna’s International Academy of Advanced Facial Aesthetics (IAAFA) marked two decades of innovation and education with its 20th Anniversary Annual Conference and Charity Ball at the beautiful De Vere Beaumont Estate in Old Windsor on Saturday, November 8. The milestone event brought together leading clinicians from across the UK and beyond, creating a vibrant atmosphere of learning, networking, and celebration.
The day’s conference offered a rich programme, covering new, advanced skin regeneration protocols, innovative approaches to patient care, the integration of psychological assessment into aesthetic practice and more. Delegates engaged with interactive Q&A sessions and a panel discussion with industry giants on managing patient expectations – gaining practical insights they could immediately apply in their clinics. A curated exhibition of cutting-edge technologies, treatments, and products added another layer of excitement, allowing attendees to experience the latest innovations shaping the industry.
As the sun set, the venue transformed for the 20th Anniversary IAAFA Charity Ball, an elegant evening of glamour and philanthropy dedicated to raising vital funds for Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity. Guests enjoyed a sparkling champagne and canapé reception, followed by a three-course dinner with unlimited wine, while the prestigious IAAFA Aesthetic Awards celebrated outstanding clinical achievement and dedication to patient safety. The night was filled with excitement, from auctions and raffles to live performances, before culminating in a lively after-dinner party. The event was a spectacular celebration of the IAAFA community, raising an impressive £23,725 for Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity.
Celebrating 20 years of excellence, the event perfectly blended professional development, community and festivity. For delegates and guests alike, it was a reminder of IAAFA’s enduring influence on the field of facial aesthetics and a fitting tribute to two decades of innovation, education, and giving back.
