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.

Dr Cremonese specialised in psychiatry in Switzerland - her country of residence for the last ten years. In a society where image is increasingly seen as a means of self-expression and self-assertion, Giulia chose aesthetic medicine as her second specialization. Fascinated by the idea of 'made-to-measure' beauty, she likes to take the time to explain to patients our different treatments and how to carry them out. Her caring approach and positive energy are particularly appreciated.

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.
