On 10 October 2026 at 17:00, the Hotel Antum in Benevento will host "Quando la bellezza è salute: un incontro con la medicina estetica," a free public meeting organised by the Campania regional section of the Società Italiana di Medicina Estetica (SIME).
The event is aimed at the general public rather than specialists. According to local broadcaster NTR24, the programme will focus on treatment safety, prevention, misinformation, and the importance of turning to qualified medical professionals. Specialist contributions will be followed by an open discussion with the audience.
NTR24 also reports that the meeting has the patronage of the Municipality of Benevento and the Benevento Medical Association. That institutional backing was not independently confirmed in a separate source available for this article.
What the evening will address
The central theme is aesthetic medicine as a medical field, not simply a cosmetic choice. The discussion is expected to cover:
- how to recognise safe practice and qualified practitioners
- why prevention matters before treatment
- how misinformation spreads around aesthetic treatments
- the risks linked to unauthorised practice
No individual speakers or detailed running order had been published in the sources reviewed. Attendance and outcomes cannot yet be reported, as the event is upcoming.
Practical information for visitors
The meeting will take place at Hotel Antum, Viale Principe di Napoli 137, Benevento. Attendance is described as free and open to the public.
The venue is listed as a conference hotel with restaurant, bar, pool and meeting facilities. It stands near Benevento's main railway station, which makes it a practical option for visitors arriving by train as well as for local residents.
No independently verified information was found on a registration procedure, seating capacity, or accessibility arrangements. Readers planning to attend may wish to check with the venue or organisers in advance, especially if travelling from outside Benevento.
Why this meeting may be useful
For readers curious about aesthetic medicine but unsure where to find reliable information, the format offers two practical advantages.
First, it is public and free, with space for direct questions. That makes it a good moment to ask basic, safety-oriented questions: who is legally qualified to perform a given treatment, what training they have, where treatment takes place, and what follow-up is provided.
Second, the focus on misinformation and unauthorised practice is directly relevant to everyday decisions. Aesthetic treatments are widely discussed online, and a meeting led by a national medical society's regional section offers a chance to compare those claims with medical guidance, rather than relying on promotional material alone.
