Jean-Louis Sebagh, Paris and London
A pioneer of the “ageing-maintenance” idea, French beauty surgeon Dr Jean-Louis Sebagh has for a long time been sought out by fashions, royals, C-suite executives and Hollywood elite, who fly in for therapies at his Paris and London clinics. “For many, their appointments are as much a part of their lifestyle ritual as visiting their favourite hotel or retreat,” he says. While he’s seeing a rise in sufferers in search of pure outcomes and non-invasive procedures, curiously, his shoppers’ nationality appears to dictate remedy plans. “Beauty is cultural. A client from Dubai may have a different aesthetic ideal than one from New York or Paris. Some prefer sculpted, camera-ready refinement; others want the kind of natural enhancement that barely whispers of treatment.” Thankfully, he notes, international magnificence requirements are shifting away from an overfilled look to what he calls easy refinement, utilizing “next- generation therapies that harness the body’s healing power” to sluggish the indicators of ageing “in the most authentic way possible”. The protocol he’s most enthusiastic about is the use of exosomes, which “super-charge the skin’s communication system, enhancing repair, reducing inflammation and dramatically improving texture”. The Dr Sebagh skincare line will launch its first exosome-based product in October.
