ISCG

What ISCG does

ISCG (International Society of Cosmetogynecology, LLC) is a privately held professional medical education organization founded in 2004 by Marco A. Pelosi II and Marco A. Pelosi III and headquartered at 350 Kennedy Boulevard, Bayonne, New Jersey. The company operates the world's first and largest association of specialists in female aesthetics, credited with establishing "cosmetogynecology" as a clinical category. ISCG delivers postgraduate training to physicians and advanced practice providers across more than twenty medical and surgical specialties, spanning medical aesthetics (Botox, fillers, lip augmentation), body contouring (basic through high-definition liposuction, multiple abdominoplasty variants, Brazilian butt lift), breast surgery (augmentation, reduction, gynecomastia), and cosmetic gynecology procedures (vaginoplasty, labiaplasty, perineoplasty, hymenoplasty, vaginal rejuvenation).

The core product is a curriculum delivered through four parallel formats: self-paced online courses (hosted on Kajabi), live surgery observation workshops at the Pelosi Medical Center in Bayonne, two-day hands-on cadaver courses in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and an annual three-day World Congress. Graduates of any qualifying course receive lifetime ISCG membership at no additional charge, gaining access to a Vimeo-hosted video library of surgical procedures and congress recordings from 2011 onward, restricted graduate resources, malpractice guidance, and member-only marketing and patient-financing partnerships.

ISCG generates revenue primarily through one-time course tuition ($6,999 for the online Labiaplasty Course; $10,000 for the one-on-one Live Vaginoplasty Course; other courses quote-based), World Congress registration fees, and recurring Vimeo video-on-demand subscriptions. Distribution is a hybrid of self-serve online enrollment and direct sales via strategy calls with Dr. Pelosi, supplemented by the Medical Marketing Whiz referral partnership, the CareCap Plus patient-financing channel, and a member-only graduate resources portal. The organization operates with 1-10 employees, has no disclosed external funding, and serves members across more than 40 countries on six continents.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• American Med Spa Association (AmSpa): Membership and education organization for medical aesthetic practices, overlapping with ISCG's target physician audience that operates medical spas offering cosmetic procedures.

Direct peers

• IMCAS (International Master Course on Aging Science): Global congress and education platform for physicians in aesthetic medicine, directly competing with ISCG's World Congress and continuing medical education offerings.
• Empire Medical Training: For-profit provider of hands-on and online training courses for physicians in cosmetic procedures including injectables, lasers, and body contouring, closely overlapping ISCG's course-based GTM.
• International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (IAPAM): Physician-focused membership and training organization in aesthetic medicine offering certification pathways and symposiums, comparable to ISCG's professional society and CME-style offerings.
• American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine (AAAMS): Organization delivering aesthetic medicine training and certification to physicians, with overlapping curriculum in cosmetic procedures and similar B2B physician training model.
• American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS): Professional society that provides education, training, and board certification pathways for physicians in cosmetic surgery, directly comparable to ISCG's postgraduate training and membership model.
• American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS): Board certification body and training pathway in cosmetic surgery, overlapping ISCG's positioning in credentialing and curriculum credibility for cosmetic surgeons.

Broad incumbents

• American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS): Largest US plastic surgery society offering educational programming, certification, and patient education, serving as a broad incumbent that competes for physician mindshare in aesthetic training.
• The Aesthetic Society (ASAPS): Established professional society for board-certified plastic surgeons offering meetings, education, and patient-facing branding, with broader aesthetic scope than ISCG's narrow female-aesthetics focus.

Others

• Medical Marketing Whiz: Agency partner of ISCG providing marketing services to women's health and cosmetic practices, included as an adjacent ecosystem participant serving ISCG's physician members rather than a direct competitor.
