01—The Invitation
An evening reserved for practice builders
Once a year, Empire brings together the people shaping aesthetic medicine. The room is intentionally small, the conversations unguarded, and the relationships outlast the evening.
Who’s in the room
New to the field? There’s no better front-row introduction to where aesthetic medicine is headed.
What you’ll see
- Lip Enhancement & Facial Balancing
- Cheek & Jawline Contouring
- Biostimulator Combination Therapies
Performed live on a model by Gamil Makar, MD & Maritza Mejia, FNP — two of Empire’s most-booked master injectors. Cocktails and open networking throughout.
Thursday · December 4, 2026 · New York City

A Curriculum Curated for the Top of the Field
Trending aesthetics education, combination therapies, and the protocols redefining functional medicine in 2026 — presented by Empire faculty and the industry leaders shipping them.
Exosomes & PDRN: The 2026 Stack
Where the evidence sits, which protocols are ready for clinic, and what to charge for the new biologics tier.
Functional Medicine in Aesthetic Practice
Peptides, micronutrient diagnostics, and the longevity stack patients are asking for — integrated into an aesthetics-led visit.
PDO Threads + Biostimulators: The Hybrid Lift
Patient selection, layering protocols, and outcome timelines for sequencing PDO with Sculptra and Radiesse.
Pricing the New Modalities
Real-world margins, package design, and the conversation that moves a patient from filler-only into a regenerative plan.
What’s Next From the Brands
First-look previews from major aesthetic-industry partners — devices, biologics, and launches landing across 2026.
Full agenda and faculty announced in the months leading up to the event.
What Empire Students Are Saying
Empire didn't just teach me a technique — they handed me an entire framework for how to run an aesthetic practice. Two years later my injectables business is four times what it was.
The room they put together is the real value. I left a single Empire weekend with three referral relationships and a new partner. The training itself was just the beginning.
I've taken courses with every major aesthetic training group. Empire is the only one that treats you like a colleague, not a student — and the difference shows in what you actually take home.
