Dr Polla, always ahead of his time !

Friday 24 February 2012

Forever Laser Institut has always been a fan of ELLE Magazine. Just like you in your doctor’s waiting room or at home sipping a tea, we like to browse through its glossy pages to read all about fashion, relationships and most of all beauty. A major reference ! Two weeks ago, dazzling Andie MacDowell made the cover alongside the title « Special rejuvenation – the slow aesthetic trend ». Does it ring a bell ? It does for me…

A little over a year ago, in December 2010, the newspaper Le Temps dedicated 3 pages to Dr Polla, featuring an exclusive interview. The big question : what will be the trend in 2011 ?

Dr Polla’s answer :  « The trend in aesthetic medicine that I foresee in 2011 is what I call « Slow and Sustainable Beauty ». He explains this concept of « slow beauty » from his patients’ point of view : a conscious and respectful quest for beauty, with a long term vision. For example, patients compose a 6-12 month treatment program with their Doctor, favour soft techniques that preserve their physical and emotional integrity, and want to age in a natural and dignified manner whilst staying fresh and attractive.

And now let’s look at ELLE’s page 93 : « Slow beauty is the hot trend for 2012 », « it’s about combining techniques, spacing-out treatment sessions, gentle and comfortable procedures that offer natural and progressive results ». So we all agree, and Forever Laser Institut is proud to have ELLE validate its word.

Dr Polla, visionary and realistic, inspired and competent, master of his field, anticipates the trend ! You are in good hands, and he shows the right way !

So Doctor, what about 2013 ; what do you see in the stars of beauty ?

Dr. Polla at the 8th World Congress of Aesthetic Dermatology

Thursday 2 February 2012

While a cold wave hits Geneva, Dr. Polla is hitting the waves of the Caribbean Sea. Let’s not be too jealous though, because his main accessory is not a swimsuit, but his notebook. Indeed, he is invited to the 8th World Congress of Aesthetic Dermatology (IACD) being held this year in Cancún, Mexico. Co-Chairman of the symposium on fillers, he will also give a lecture on hyaluronic acid injections which he titled “Fillers in the Three Dimensional Concept.” This will also be the opportunity for Dr. Polla to attend Master classes on the latest advances in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. Finally, he will take advantage of the visit overseas to assist his eldest daughter Ada, CEO of Alchimie Forever, who will be in Cancún at the same time for a meeting with Universal Companies – one of the main distributors of our skin care line in the United States. What a program! We will get the details upon his return in mid-February. In the meantime, instead of  ”cancúning” let’s indulge in some  ”cocooning” at Forever Laser Institut, Geneva!
