Seychelles’ first dedicated aesthetics clinic opens

A clinic offering state-of-the-art cosmetic procedures and treatments has opened in Seychelles’ Mont Fleuri district on the main island of Mahe.

Victoria Aesthetics is aimed at Seychelles’ residents who may spend large sums for these procedures overseas or have to wait for specialists brought into the island nation by the Ministry of Health.

It currently offers procedures that are minimally invasive and non-invasive such as skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, derma fillers, body slimming and body sculpting, and plans to introduce surgical treatments like liposuction from March onwards.

The clinic is the brainchild of Daniella Payet and Laurent Alis, mother and son, who are not medical professionals but have extensive tourism and business backgrounds.

Alis said they saw the opportunity to apply their business knowledge to grow the private medical sector when the COVID-19 pandemic brought new constraints to accessing treatments and supplies.
