Skin Ageing & Challenges 2026:
Restoring Biological Dialogue for Healthier Skin
We are pleased to welcome you to Skin Ageing & Challenges 2026, taking place on October 28–29, 2026, in Málaga, Spain.
Following the success of the 2025 edition in Valencia, we are delighted to continue bringing together researchers, clinicians, innovators, and industry leaders who share a common goal: advancing our understanding of skin ageing and translating scientific discoveries into meaningful solutions.
Over the past few years, our vision of skin ageing has evolved considerably. Ageing is no longer viewed simply as the accumulation of damage over time. Increasingly, it is recognized as a progressive loss of communication between cells, tissues, metabolic pathways, immune networks, the microbiome, and the environment.
Skin Longevity 2026 will explore skin ageing as a dynamic loss of biological dialogue and ask how science can restore communication, resilience, and function across the skin ecosystem.
This concept of biological dialogue will be at the heart of our discussions. How do cells communicate during ageing? What happens when these communication networks become disrupted? How do mitochondria, the microbiome, immune cells, extracellular vesicles, and metabolic signals influence skin health and longevity? Can emerging technologies help restore these interactions and preserve skin function over time?
By bringing together expertise from longevity science, systems biology, dermatology, regenerative medicine, artificial intelligence, microbiome research, and biotechnology, we aim to explore new perspectives and identify innovative strategies for healthier ageing.
We look forward to welcoming you to Málaga for two inspiring days dedicated to skin longevity, scientific excellence, and the future of skin health.
