KALDAT Autumn Conference Attracts Over 4,300 Participants

JoongAng Ilbo · 2025-12-19

The Korean Association of Laser, Dermatology and Trichology (KALDAT, President Park Min-soo, Lead Directors of Gangnam View Best Clinic) successfully concluded its 51st Autumn Conference held at Seoul Parnas Hotel on December 14, 2025. With approximately 4,300 medical professionals and industry representatives in attendance, this conference attracted a large number of participants comparable to last year's autumn conference, once again demonstrating KALDAT's continuous growth and influence.

The core agenda of this conference was "From Energy to Signal," which academically explored the expanding trend in aesthetic medicine, moving beyond energy-based treatments to understand the essence of signal transduction between cells and tissues.

While some doctor members found the academic depth to be somewhat challenging, there was a consensus that the content was rich and dense, offering much to learn that is not typically encountered in existing lectures. Key sessions, including Awakening, Regeneration Symphony, Signal Lift, and Stem Signal, organically connected basic science and clinical practice, emphasizing the inherent depth of the conference.

Notably, this conference also featured a book launch ceremony symbolically showcasing the flow of melanin research. "Melanin," authored by Dr. Kim Hyung-moon (Lead Directors of Maylin Clinic Ilsan Branch), who is the president of the KALDAT International Conference (ICLAS), was published by the world-renowned academic publisher Springer and garnered attention with a recommendation from Professor Rox Anderson, a global scholar at Harvard Medical School.

This book is considered to provide meaningful reference points for medical professionals seeking a more structured understanding of pigment treatment, and is evaluated as a result that presents new horizons and standards in the fields of melanin research and pigment treatment.

The medical-related legal sessions and clinic opening lectures, held in collaboration with law firm Bae, Kim & Lee LLC, also received significant interest. In addition to legal sessions covering practical topics such as medical advertising regulations, responding to black consumers, and managing legal risks in the medical field, the lecture structure, which could be directly applied to actual clinic openings and hospital operations, garnered high praise from practitioners and became popular sessions.

In addition to academic completeness, the atmosphere and attractions at the venue were also important aspects of this conference. The presence of LG Twins baseball players Oh Ji-hwan and Lim Chan-kyu for a fan signing event, as well as Medytox ambassador actor Park Hyung-sik and Cellab ambassador actor Kim Min-ha, who visited the conference site for interviews and photo shoots, kept the venue lively throughout the day. Furthermore, the AI Photo Pass system allowed participants to easily receive their photos taken at the conference, adding a digital experience that satisfied both the academic conference and exhibition elements.

Amidst the bustling atmosphere with large crowds throughout the event, both medical professionals and participating companies expressed reactions such as "a conference where people gather and real exchange thrives" and "an event where academia, industry, and culture naturally blend," with overall satisfaction also reported to be high.

The KALDAT conference has now established itself as more than just an academic event; it is a festival and cultural platform representing the field of aesthetic medicine. KALDAT plans to continue setting new standards for Korean aesthetic medicine based on academic depth, practical applicability in clinical settings, and content that reflects contemporary trends.
