With a deep passion for both artistry and medicine, Dr. Alejandro Segarra blends technical skill with emotional understanding to enhance natural beauty. His dedication to patient care goes beyond physical changes, aiming to restore confidence and bring positive transformation to those he works with.
Dr. Alejandro Segarra is an Argentine-born aesthetic doctor who has built an exceptional career in Spain, blending his passion for art with his expertise in Aesthetic Medicine. His journey, which spans over a decade, is one of resilience, growth, and an unwavering commitment to helping his patients enhance their natural beauty.
From an early age, Dr. Segarra was captivated by the human face. “I have always been passionate about faces,” he shares. “Since I was a child, I used to draw. I am passionate about realism and pencil drawing, and I always thought about people’s features with all their characteristics depending on their gender, age, nationality, ethnic influence, etc.” This artistic fascination set the stage for his future in Aesthetic Medicine, where precision and artistic sensitivity go hand in hand.
After earning his Master’s in Aesthetic Medicine in Argentina, Dr. Segarra moved to Spain to expand his knowledge and practice. The transition to a new country presented many challenges, but also opportunities for personal and professional growth. “Moving to another country is like being born again, but without your parents’ help. Everything is a challenge and full of uncertainty—a new society, no family or friends, different laws, a new economy,” he reflects. However, he quickly found solace in the warmth and welcoming spirit of Spain. “Arriving in Spain nine years ago felt like stepping into a country filled with wonderful people, inviting cities, amazing food, beaches—everything was within my reach.”
Dr. Segarra attributes much of his success to the guidance of his mentor, Dr. Jaume Tufet, a renowned leader in the field of Aesthetic Medicine. “For me, he is my father in this profession,” Dr. Segarra explains. “With him, I was able to understand Aesthetic Medicine and the role of a leader. That mix of doctor/entrepreneur, I learned from him.” Dr. Tufet’s influence not only shaped Dr. Segarra’s technical skills but also instilled in him the values of leadership and entrepreneurship.
As the field of Aesthetic Medicine continues to evolve, Dr. Segarra has observed several significant trends, particularly the increasing popularity of treatments among men. “We’ve noticed an increase in the number of men opting for filler treatments, neuromodulators, or skin improvement procedures,” he explains. “Currently, neuromodulators remain the most popular procedure among men, but we are noticing a progressive increase in the use of fillers (Hyaluronic Acid) and collagen stimulators.”
Despite these growing trends, Dr. Segarra emphasizes the importance of maintaining a natural look. “We always advocate for a natural style that ‘outlives’ any fashion or trend,” he says. His approach is rooted in a deep respect for his patients’ individuality and a commitment to enhancing their features rather than changing them. “My intention has always been to enhance beauty, not transform anyone,” Dr. Segarra asserts. “We must understand that we are not face transformers, nor are we the holders of the truth. We are simply the ones who can safely perform procedures that enhance the patient’s self-esteem.”
A key element of Dr. Segarra’s philosophy is open and honest communication with his patients. He believes that managing expectations is crucial to achieving the best results. “The initial dialogue is essential, where we agree on and clarify expectations. Otherwise, what I consider a success might not be the same for the patient,” he explains.
One common misconception about Aesthetic Medicine is the overuse of materials in procedures. Dr. Segarra addresses this by stressing the importance of responsibility within the industry. “The most common mistake is the excessive use of material. Additionally, I observe errors in techniques, material selection, and injection planes.,” he points out. For Dr. Segarra, education is essential to debunk myths and help patients make informed decisions. “In our daily practice, patient information and education are essential. Every day, we need to debunk myths and false preconceived notions,” he says.
Looking to the future, Dr. Segarra believes that technology, particularly artificial intelligence, will play a role in enhancing Aesthetic Medicine. “AI will be yet another tool that informs us or helps us make decisions,” he explains. “But in something as artisanal or hand-dependent as our field, we must view technology as a complement to the hands of a skilled professional.”As the field of Aesthetic Medicine continues to evolve, Dr. Segarra has observed several significant trends, particularly the increasing popularity of treatments among men. “We’ve noticed an increase in the number of men opting for filler treatments, neuromodulators, or skin improvement procedures,” he explains. “Currently, neuromodulators remain the most popular procedure among men, but we are noticing a progressive increase in the use of fillers (Hyaluronic Acid) and collagen stimulators.”

Despite the rise of technology, Dr. Segarra remains committed to continuous learning and growth. “I’m obsessed with progress, with everything new, with styles, and techniques,” he shares. “I don’t compare myself, but I admire many colleagues who achieve excellent results and serve as inspiration.” He also stresses the importance of collaboration in his work. “Teamwork is essential. Teams improve individual efforts,” he adds.
Beyond his technical expertise, Dr. Segarra takes great pride in the emotional and psychological transformations that come with his work. “I’ve seen many people cry tears of joy after modifying something that had been a source of sadness for them,” he says. These moments of transformation, where patients regain their confidence, are what continue to fuel his passion for Aesthetic Medicine.
In his practice, Dr. Segarra is particularly passionate about procedures like lip augmentation and rhinoplasty, which require precision and artistry. “Aesthetic improvement of the nose brings immense satisfaction,” he says. “Many times, the patient has carried this concern with them their whole life, and it’s beautiful to see them smile when we give them the mirror.”
For Dr. Segarra, Aesthetic Medicine is more than just about physical changes; it’s about making a difference in people’s lives. “A patient who smiles when looking at themselves in the mirror is a goal achieved,” he concludes. As Aesthetic Medicine continues to grow and evolve, Dr. Segarra’s dedication to enhancing natural beauty, continuous learning, and patient satisfaction ensures that he will remain at the forefront of the field for years to come.
