Cidesco Workshops return to Professional Beauty London 2026: Dr Shogo to make exclusive UK debut

The Cidesco Workshops are officially returning to Professional Beauty London from October 4-5, 2026 at Excel London. This year’s theme, “From Tradition to Modern Massage”, delivers two days of hands-on skill-building, live demonstrations and an unprecedented industry first.

Whether you want to upgrade your facial protocols or refine your bodywork techniques, here is why these sessions deserve a spot on your show itinerary.

Historic UK debut: Dr Shogo Mochizuki

A major highlight of this year's programme is the arrival of Dr Shogo Mochizuki, the 26th Generation Kobido Grandmaster, who will be making his first-ever appearance in the UK.

As an international master who rarely travels to Europe, his presence offers a rare opportunity for the British spa and beauty community. Kobido is Japan’s oldest surviving facial lineage, dating back to 1472, and Dr Shogo remains the leading global authority on authentic Kobido education.

On October 4, 2026 (10:00am–11:40am), he will host an exclusive workshop sharing the true art, history and practice of this legendary technique. With seats strictly limited, visitors are encouraged to book early to secure their place.

From holistic skin health to trending facial protocols

The rest of the two-day curriculum is equally packed with international educators, clinical insights and practical demonstrations:

• Addressing Rapid Weight Loss: International speaker Anna Tsankova tackles one of the fastest-growing client concerns in The Ozempic Face Syndrome, demonstrating modern aesthetic strategies to restore facial vitality and tissue quality following rapid weight loss
• Deep-Dive Skin Diagnostics: Holistic pioneer Marie Reynolds presents The Hidden Language of the Skin, an interactive session exploring how stress, organ health, diet and emotions manifest on the skin
• Ancient Wisdom, Modern Twist: Discover the foundations of authentic Thai medicine with Kru Lumpai as she maps the 10 Main Sen Sib Energy Lines. Meanwhile, Nordine Meguellati unpacks 5,000 year old Ayurvedic principles with live demonstrations targeting stress in the neck and back
• Advanced Facials and Acupuncture: Industry icon Lydia Sarfati breaks down essential facial principles recognised within the RPL pathway to a Cidesco diploma. For natural rejuvenation, Amanda Shayle demonstrates fascia-informed cosmetic acupuncture using her patented Thrive intradermal needle system
• Ergonomics and Therapist Longevity: To reduce physical strain in the treatment room, Slav Marinov introduces SLAVMA Dynamic Fusion, demonstrating how intelligent body mechanics and fluid movement elevate client results while protecting the therapist's body
