The Ugly Face of Beauty | Felix Bertram | TEDxFreiburg

“Beauty isn’t just physical, but also mental, emotional and spiritual.” More and more (young) people want to look like their avatars on social media. This sounds strange at first, but what happens if this trend will continue? Beauty wouldn’t be rare or exclusive anymore. Dr. Felix Bertram argues that this isn’t a new phenomenon. Humans have actually altered their looks for thousands of years. In his talk, Felix takes a look at the trend of beautification and its consequences for our society. Dr. Felix Bertram is one of the best known Dermatologists in Switzerland and founder of Skinmed, a clinic for dermatology and plastic surgery in Switzerland with 140 employees. Besides that, he is the founder of “Skins”, a restaurant which received 2 Michelin stars just 4 months after opening, and the owner of 13 rescued dogs. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
