Our team

Founder of Forever Institut and world-renowned dermatologist, Dr. Polla has made history in his field. In 1986, he was the first doctor in Europe to use the laser technologies that have revolutionised aesthetic dermatology. Co-founder of the Swiss Society of Aesthetic Medicine (SSME), Dr Polla is also a consultant to the world's leading laser and injectable companies.

Dr Galatoire obtained her Diploma in General Medicine at the University of Paris, where she specialised in aesthetic medicine alongside renowned dermatologists and plastic surgeons. "For me, the aim of aesthetic medicine is to soften the shadows and shed light, to draw the eye towards the natural assets of a face, to sublimate its original beauty. Beauty is above all a matter of photogenics; this is true for photography, cinema, painting, make-up and aesthetic medicine."

After graduating in general medicine from the University of Caen in 2019, Dr Muthukumaran discovered aesthetic medicine when she replaced a general practitioner who also carried out aesthetic procedures. She subsequently completed her training in injection techniques and peels, and obtained the Inter-University Diploma in Medical Lasers from the University of Paris Descartes. Since the start of her medical aesthetic practice, she has been nourished by the happiness generated by her patients regaining their self-esteem and reconnecting their inner and outer beauty. Dr. Muthukumaran currently divides her time between her general medical practice in Paris and her aesthetic medicine practice at Forever.

A graduate in paediatrics since 2017 (FMH specialist), Dr Raphaël Wahlen has developed his activity in medicine for adolescents and vulnerable populations within the CHUV as Head of Clinic, as well as in Montreal.

Dr Wahlen is a caring, meticulous and attentive doctor, whose sensitivity reassures his clients. He sees aesthetic medicine as a path along which people can progress at their own pace and according to their own needs, with a concern for aesthetics, naturalness and prevention.

After graduating in general medicine from the University of Dijon in 1996, Lydie discovered aesthetic medicine a few years later and became so passionate about it that she decided to open her own aesthetic medicine centre in Nice in 2019.
