International Convention for Specialists in Cosmetology and Aesthetic Medicine.
From April 7-9, 2026, the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre will host the International Convention for Specialists in Cosmetology and Aesthetic Medicine. But this is not merely another trade show — it is the debut of a significant rebranding, a strategic pivot that promises to reshape how the professional beauty community in Russia and Eurasia connects, learns, and does business.
A New Identity for a Maturing Market
To understand BEAUNITY, one must first understand what it replaces. Until 2026, this event was known as INTERCHARM Professional, a respected but broad exhibition serving the professional beauty segment. The decision to rebrand was not cosmetic; it was strategic. As the Russian beauty market matures and specialises, the demand for focused, high-quality professional events has intensified.
The name BEAUNITY itself is a portmanteau, elegantly combining “beauty” and “unity”. This linguistic fusion captures the organisers’ core vision: to create a platform that unifies the professional community. Where the previous brand risked being overshadowed by its famous parent—the massive autumn InterCHARM exhibition—this new identity carves out a distinct, more intimate space. The goal is to shed the “everything for everyone” approach in favour of a focused, “chamber” atmosphere that prioritises depth over breadth, quality of interaction over sheer volume of visitors.
The Ecosystem: Where BEAUNITY Fits in the InterCHARM Family
The launch of BEAUNITY does not signal a departure from the InterCHARM ecosystem; rather, it refines it. The organisers, ExpoVisionRus, are carefully positioning their portfolio to serve different market needs across the calendar year.
The flagship event remains the 33rd International InterCHARM exhibition, scheduled for October 14-17, 2026, also at Crocus Expo. That show, ranked among the top five beauty exhibitions globally, will continue to serve the entire industry’s breadth — from perfumery and mass-market cosmetics to professional tools and packaging, attracting nearly 100,000 professionals from over 30 countries.
BEAUNITY occupies the spring slot with a laser focus on cosmetology, aesthetic medicine, and professional care. It runs alongside R-BEAUTY, a separate inter-seasonal exhibition dedicated to Russian perfume and cosmetic brands and manufacturers. This concurrent scheduling creates a powerful synergy: while R-BEAUTY showcases finished products and brand development, BEAUNITY delves into the clinical, technological, and hands-on professional sphere.
The Core Focus: Where Science Meets Practice
Stepping into BEAUNITY means entering a world where the line between beauty and medicine blurs. The exhibition’s thematic structure reflects this sophisticated focus.
The Cosmetology and Aesthetic Medicine sector forms the heart of the show. Here, attendees will discover the latest in:
- Apparatus cosmetology: Cutting-edge machines for rejuvenation, contouring, and skin restoration
- Injection cosmetology and mesothreads: The newest formulations and techniques in aesthetic contouring
- Professional skincare and inter-treatment care: Products designed for use in clinics and salons, bridging the gap between professional procedures and at-home maintenance
- Cosmeceuticals and peels: Advanced formulations that sit at the intersection of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals
- Permanent makeup and microblading: Precision tools and pigments for the growing field of aesthetic tattooing
The exhibition also dedicates significant space to the equipping of salons, clinics, and spas. From specialised furniture to the full range of professional equipment, this section recognises that the environment in which treatments are delivered is as important as the treatments themselves. Specialised zones for trichology and podology address the growing demand for scalp, hair, and foot care expertise, while a dedicated massage and spa area showcases everything from professional cosmetics to specialised textiles and treatment tools.
Rounding out the offering is a comprehensive section for accessories, consumables, and business services. This includes everything from disinfectants and disposable products (gloves, sheets, wipes) to professional apparel, reflecting the operational realities of running a modern aesthetic practice. The business services component—covering consulting, marketing, software, and training centres—acknowledges that clinical excellence must be matched by commercial acumen.
The Rebranding Rationale: Precision over Volume
The decision to launch BEAUNITY in 2026 reflects a deep understanding of market evolution. As the Russian aesthetic medicine sector grows more sophisticated, its practitioners demand more targeted content and more relevant connections.
The new brand’s emphasis on “unity” speaks to the creation of a genuine professional community. This is not a show for casual consumers or beauty enthusiasts; it is a convention for specialists, by specialists. The organisers envision a platform where knowledge exchange, practical experience sharing, and networking among peers take centre stage.
A significant pillar of this new identity is the enhanced focus on scientific content. The convention’s program is being designed with a strong emphasis on practice-oriented reports and advanced methodologies. This is not about marketing hype; it is about clinical evidence, technique mastery, and staying abreast of the latest research. The presence of expert speakers such as Maksim Volkov, Attorney-at-Law from Gorodissky & Partners, who will address practical legal topics like trademark protection and new regulations for signage and inscriptions, underscores the event’s commitment to the real-world challenges faced by clinic owners and practitioners.
The Business Proposition: A Focused Platform for Growth
For exhibitors—whether manufacturers of high-tech aesthetic equipment, distributors of injectable products, or suppliers of professional skincare — BEAUNITY offers a uniquely qualified audience. The convention promises to bring together hundreds of suppliers of professional products with representatives from the cosmetology and aesthetic medicine sectors. These are not browsers; they are buyers with specific needs and budgets.
The event’s value proposition is clearly stated: a place where brands find buyers, and specialists find technologies, training, and leads—all within three concentrated days. This efficiency is increasingly valuable in a fast-moving market where staying current requires constant investment in learning and relationship-building.
For attendees — cosmetologists, aesthetic physicians, salon owners, spa managers, and clinic administrators — BEAUNITY represents a consolidated learning and sourcing opportunity. Rather than chasing information across multiple platforms and events, professionals can access a comprehensive showcase of innovations, participate in targeted educational sessions, and network with peers who share their specific challenges and aspirations.
Practical Information and Venue
The convention will take place at one of Moscow’s premier exhibition venues: Crocus Expo, Pavilion 2, Hall 11 (3rd floor). Located at the intersection of the MKAD and Volokolamskoye Highway (Mezhdunarodnaya Street, 20, Krasnogorsk), the venue offers excellent accessibility, including free parking from 7:00 to 20:00 daily.

An Invitation to the Professional Future
As the spring of 2026 approaches, BEAUNITY by InterCHARM stands poised to become more than just another date on the industry calendar. It represents a thoughtful evolution in how the professional beauty community convenes—moving from broad-spectrum exhibitions to focused, high-value conventions that prioritise relevance, expertise, and genuine connection.
For the cosmetologist seeking advanced training, the clinic owner looking for the latest technology, or the brand aiming to connect with serious professional buyers, BEAUNITY offers a compelling proposition. In an industry increasingly defined by specialisation and scientific rigour, this new convention arrives not a moment too soon.
The International Convention for Specialists in Cosmetology and Aesthetic Medicine, BEAUNITY by InterCHARM, will take place from April 7-9, 2026, at Crocus Expo, Moscow. For registration and the latest updates, visit the official event website.
