Team

Dr. Polla is an internationally renowned dermatologist who has made history in his field. In 1986, he was the first doctor in Europe to use laser technology, which revolutionised aesthetic dermatology. He co-founded the Swiss Society of Aesthetic Medicine (Société Suisse de Médecine Esthétique – SSME) and is a consultant for major companies specialising in lasers and injectable treatments.

Dr Raphaël Wahlen graduated in pediatrics in 2017 (FMH specialist). He developed his activity in medicine for adolescents and vulnerable people, both at the CHUV as Head of Clinic, and in Montreal. His affinity for aesthetics and his empathy naturally led him to take an interest in aesthetic medicine, and he joined Forever in 2022 to practice what is now his core business.

Dr. Wahlen is a caring, meticulous and attentive doctor, whose sensitivity greatly reassures his patients. He sees aesthetic medicine as a path along which people can progress at their own pace and needs, with a focus on aesthetics, natural results and prevention.

He graduated in internal medicine with a thorough training in clinical immunology in the department of Prof. Seebach in Geneva, as well as in Paris (Hôpital Cochin). He then graduated in dermatology and venereology after training in Geneva and Paris (Hôpital Saint-Louis), focusing on autoimmune diseases, scalp pathologies and psoriasis. He became head of clinic at the HUG and then responsible for the interns of the dermatology policlinic. His objective is to take care of patients suffering from dermatological pathologies, both adults and children, as well as to deepen his practice in aesthetic dermatology and laser within Forever.
