IV World Congress of the International Academy of Cosmetic Dermatology: July 2 to 5, 2005, Paris, France

With more than 900 physicians in attendance and representing over 70 countries, the IV World Congress of the International Academy of Cosmetic Dermatology was a resounding success. Daniel Wallach (Paris, France), the president of the Congress, and his committees, created a spectacular program that incorporated recent advances in investigational dermatology with cosmetic dermatology (Fig. 1). The Palais des Congres de Paris, where the 21st World Congress of Dermatology was held just 3 years prior, proved to be an excellent venue, and Philippe Fournier and his staff from MCI France anticipated almost every need for a memorable congress (Fig. 2).
