The origins of ESCAD and J Cos Derm
For many years in Europe cosmetic dermatology was not taught as a subject in its own right. Dermatologists only learnt the subject by apprenticeship and by attending congresses. In the last 50 years, life expectancy has increased considerably and people have become much more concerned with their appearance. Dermatologists are the best trained people to meet these new needs.

In 1997, three dermatologists and longstanding friends, Pierre André from Paris, Leonardo Marini from Trieste and Christopher Rowland Payne from London, felt there was a need for a scientific Society which would gather together research scientists from the fields of cosmetics and skin ageing together with clinicians specialized in the therapeutic techniques of cosmetic dermatology.

ESCAD is a democratic, non-commercial, non-profitmaking medical scientific Learned Society, which is registered in Paris. There is an executive board and the president and members of the executive board are elected each year at the annual general meeting.
ESCAD is supported by a scientific committee which includes many members from Europe and a good number of colleagues from other continents. ESCAD cooperates with other international and national cosmetic dermatological societies. The aims and goals of ESCAD can be viewed bij selecting the link. ESCAD aims to foster the highest standards of patient care in cosmetic and aesthetic dermatology, and aims to facilitate continuing professional development and a friendly forum for the exchange of scientific research and innovative techniques.
ESCAD tries to bring together clinical dermatologists, academic dermatologists, and scientists working in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
