Dr Felix Bertram - 'The Business of Injecting (Chapter 6)' #198

1 hour 21 minutes

Episode 198 hosts Dr Felix Bertram, a dermatologist based in Zurich, Switzerland.

Whilst Felix is still a practising dermatologist, he is best known as a globally-renowned entrepreneur in the aesthetics space. He's the mastermind behind Skinmed clinic, a high end aesthetic destination with 12 plastic surgery theatres, resident dermatologists and a pathology lab, cosmetic injectables and beauty services all under one roof.

In addition to this, various side businesses compliment the clinic including:

- the Swiss Aesthetic Institute training centre (co-founded with Julie Horne)
