How it works, written down
and left where you can find it.

Permanent referenceFree, no loginOpen to the whole field

This is a library, not a feed. Things published here are meant to be correct in two years, which is a different job from being current this month. If you want what changed recently, that is the Monitor.

New in the knowledge base

Conferences: Aesthetix and the events worth attending.

Upcoming and past aesthetic medicine and dermatology conferences in India, with dates, venues, organisers and links to each official site.

Aesthetica

Quarterly magazine · four issues a year

I2CAN's magazine for the aesthetic medicine and cosmetology profession in India. Free, open to the whole field, no login and no alumni gate. Technical pieces carry a named faculty byline; industry commentary carries the founder's.

Archive opens with the first issue.

Faculty papers

Peer-reviewed work, with citation

Papers authored by I2CAN faculty, each listed with its journal, year and a link to the publisher. Where a paper sits behind a paywall we say so rather than linking to a copy we are not entitled to host.

List being compiled from the faculty record.

Articles

Technical and clinical, signed

How a procedure actually works, what the evidence says, and where it stops. Written for practitioners rather than for search engines, which is why each one answers a question rather than covering a topic.

Seeded from the Monitor's Technical Note, which graduates here after three months.

Recorded sessions

Video, technical

Recordings of technical sessions and demonstrations. Alumni keep the live room; recordings open to the field afterwards.

Publishing schedule being confirmed.

Mini courses

Free, short, no enrolment

Short structured sequences on a single subject. No qualification is awarded and none is implied.

In preparation.

How this is written

The rules we publish under.

These are not aspirations. They are the constraints that make everything else on these pages worth reading, and the reason a thin month produces a shorter issue rather than a padded one.

Every factual claim names its source

If a number cannot be attributed, it does not run. Not even hedged.

Nothing clinical publishes unsigned

Clinical content carries an individual faculty byline and that named person signs off its accuracy. Industry commentary is written by the founder, who does not sign clinical content.

Every issue carries something that did not work

At least one null finding per issue. A publication that only reports success is an advertisement.

We name no competitor

Favourably or otherwise. We will disagree with a trend. We will not disparage an institution.

No pricing anywhere

Not course fees, not procedure fees, not device costs.

Where the data is American, we say so

India has no registry for this field, and we will not dress someone else's numbers as ours.

A thin month makes a shorter issue

If a category produced nothing worth reporting, it is left out rather than padded.

Limitations are stated as properties of the study

Thirty-two patients, three months, a single centre. Not as our hesitations about it.
