Clinique de Paris
Find unparalleled hair transplant and thoughtful care at Clinique de Paris’ latest flagship clinic
For over a decade, Clinique de Paris has offered premier service and hair care to its discerning clientele. Now, it opens the doors of its flagship clinic, high above the Makati skyline and its bustling metropolitan streets, located within the Penthouse of the Alveo Central Tower. Together with Tatler Philippines, it held an intimate event with select guests to celebrate this latest milestone.
Guests were served a curated offering of Rosé wine, bubbly and whisky, as well as canapés to make the late afternoon delightful. Clinique de Paris’ latest flagship clinic offers beautiful, sweeping views of the city to complement its refined, sophisticated interiors. It also makes its French influences and heritage felt through its rooms: Each of their treatment and receiving rooms are named after the various attractions and iconic sights of Paris, such as the Palais Royal, Louvre, Sacre Cour and Notre Dame, among others. It wasn't long before the halls were filled with lively and spirited conversations.

Our charming host, Anne Gauthier, welcomed our select guests to the premier hair restoration clinic. She introduced Clinique de Paris’ medical director, Dr Rafael Fortus, who explained the mission and technology behind the clinic’s premier offerings. “Hair is more than a physical attribute,” he remarked. “It is the only part of the body that conveys our sense of style and daily mood.”
“Our hair transplant [method], Direct Hair Implants (DHI) was the first of its kind. No scars, minimal downtime and maximum density.” Follicular units are extracted, then implanted into the scalp directly, using minimally invasive tools. The result is a completely natural and transformative look.
Clinique de Paris founder and managing director Ludovic Branellec recalled the journey the clinic undertook to get to where it was today. “Clinique de Paris was the meeting of two worlds: French precision and Filipino soul. We’re not changing who our clients are but helping them reclaim what time, stress and circumstances have taken from them.” But such tales of transformation are best heard straight from those who’ve lived and experienced it; Two of their hair heroes, Tedrick Yau and Chris Tan, shared their respective journeys with the clinic.

“I've always told my friends that this hair transplant is one of the best things I've done in my life,” Yau shared. “Confidence is something I need to do my work well. “After my transplant, my hair was so natural.” He praised the post-operative care, which was quick and attentive to his needs. “I think that’s what everyone wants: to make sure they’re in good hands.”
“I was so concerned with how the hair would look on the back of my head,” Tan explained. “It’s a major surgery, not some minor thing.” A friend referred him to Nicole Sheker, country manager and consultant for Clinique de Paris, who in turn recommended their procedures. Like Yau, Tan also experienced firsthand the clinic’s exceptional service, whose hands-on care made all the difference. “That reassurance, the walking through with me an entire year, that’s what made it amazing.”

As the evening transitioned into night, guests were encouraged to visit the Sacre Cour and Opera rooms for one-on-one consultations with one of the clinic’s experts.
This gathering was a celebration of confidence and strength, qualities that something as simple as our hair can provide. Clinique de Paris offers its clients the opportunity to regain and reinforce these traits in a natural way, so they can return to navigating their lives with conviction and grace.

He possesses a deep love of history, resulting from years of books, games, and museum visits. It was this fascination with the human endeavour that fostered his love of writing, spanning genres, tones, and moods. He one day hopes to write a novel—he just hasn't decided on a genre yet. A certified homebody, you'll often find him on the computer he built himself, binge-watching Seinfeld or House, playing his favourite gacha game, or reading a book.
