Description

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.
