Dubai: Dubai will soon welcome the world's anti-aging experts as health professionals sign up to be part of the first Dubai Congress on Anti-Aging and Aesthetic Medicine (DCAAAM) to be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from November 7-9.

Medical practitioners from America, Europe and Australia have confirmed their involvement in DCAAAM, which will present some of the latest ground-breaking research and revolutionary techniques available internationally.

The first in the region, DCAAAM is the official event of The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), together with its Arabian chapter, and has already received unprecedented interest from both conference attendees and exhibitors.

Matt Thompson, Project Director of organisers Tarsus said: "The anti-aging market is a multi-billion dollar industry with a phenomenal average annual growth rate of 8.78 per cent. It's expected to generate sales worth $97 billion in 2008, hitting an exceptional $115.5 billion by 2010 according to Global Industry Analysts.

"We already have more than 75 companies, brands and products confirmed to participate as exhibitors. As a result, we have increased floor space by a further 50 per cent. The event will include a lot of cutting-edge products."

Focusing on the burgeoning anti-aging aesthetics and healthcare sector, DCAAAM joins an already established network of A4M international anti-aging events including Las Vegas, Singapore, Tokyo, Germany, China and Mumbai.

"Exhibitors will cover every area of anti-aging from medical suppliers, cosmetic surgery clinics, fitness and weight-loss companies to supplements and nutrition products, HRT and alternative medicine practitioners," Thompson added.
