I’ve labored throughout North America, the Center East and now in Europe.
Simon Ourian refers to himself as a “beauty dermatologist” and “A-list aesthetic specialist”. Ourian owns and runs the Epione Clinic in Beverly Hills, California.
Primarily based on the advertising on Epione Clinic’s web site, clearly Ourian has some completely happy A-list purchasers. There’s additionally pause for concern, as researched by Adam J. Rubinstein, an authorized plastic surgeon, in a March 2019 YouTube video.
In an accompanying web site article, Rubenstein states;
Dr. Ourian grew to become well-known after getting some endorsements from Kim Kardashian on social media, which blew up his identify.
In consequence, he began getting extra movie star purchasers coming out and in of his clinic and ultimately grew to become identified all through the web because the “Superstar Beauty Dermatologist.
The factor is, he’s truly not skilled in residency in dermatology. If you happen to look into his background, which is all public file, you’ll see he’s, actually, licensed within the state of California.
Nevertheless, the Medical Board of California experiences that he had coaching in inside drugs and a few in anesthesia. The issue is anesthesiology and inside drugs aren’t associated to dermatology or cosmetic surgery.
You’ll discover on his web site he states that in his residency in UCLA, he grew to become fascinated with issues like dermatology and aesthetics however it doesn’t truly say that he skilled in dermatology or aesthetics as a result of he didn’t.
Sufferers who don’t take the initiative to analysis their suppliers earlier than receiving remedy, may assume that as a result of he calls himself a “beauty dermatologist” that he’s skilled in dermatology however, the actual fact is, he’s not.
One of many extra surprising bits of knowledge is that his license was revoked in 2009. There have been expenses introduced towards him in 2005 by the state of California for 29 acts of wrongdoing.
The assorted expenses had been amended in 2007 and included, gross negligence, repeated negligent acts, insufficient record-keeping, and incompetence.
Dishonest and/or corrupt acts included knowingly making a false doc, false or deceptive promoting and, perhaps one of many extra egregious issues for my part, had been aiding and or abetting the unlicensed follow of medication.
This included taking, what apparently was a nurse, and permitting that nurse to follow drugs as if he was a physician. It’s alleged that Dr. Ourian truly allowed this nurse to carry out a facelift in his clinic.
Ourian served 5 years of probation with out incident and retained his medical license.
Rubenstein additionally cites “give up a quantity” of malpractice lawsuits filed towards Ourian. I’m inclined to let this slide given medical litigation is fairly frequent within the US (I’ve linked to each the YouTube video and article if you would like full particulars your self).
Previous to co-founding Past Magnificence Membership, Ourian offered at the least one Simon Ourian M.D. product by means of ByDzyne.
The partnership commenced in 2021 however seems to have come to an finish (I couldn’t discover any Simon Ourian M.D. merchandise on ByDzyne’s web site).

Past Magnificence Membership Conclusion
Past Magnificence Membership comes off as a instrument for Simon Ourian M.D. to market himself with. That’s not a foul factor however it leaves me questioning why Past Magnificence Membership exists.
Maybe the most important inform that Past Magnificence Membership is only a funnel for Simon Ourian M.D. is signing up by means of Past Magnificence Membership takes place on Simon Ourian M.D.’s web site:
Second, we’ve all of Past Magnificence Membership’s merchandise listed on Simon Ourian M.D.’s web site.
Why not simply have launched Simon Ourian M.D. as an MLM firm? Or shift no matter Simon Ourian M.D. is meant to be now to Past Magnificence Membership after which shut Simon Ourian M.D. down?
It’s all a bit complicated and comes off janky.
Given Simon Ourian and Shari Jafari are already connected to Simon Ourian M.D., Dan Holzmann appears like a third-wheel. Once more, probably not certain what the intention is right here however it’s… bizarre.
Shifting on to Past Magnificence Membership’s compensation plan, the obtrusive subject is there aren’t any retail quantity qualifiers.
Month-to-month PV necessities ramp up however in the event you have a look at the equal GV (e.g. 400 PV at Model Legend 1 requires 360,000 GV a month), that’s not an unreasonable self-fund.
The €2100 Fastened Bonus at Model Legend 1 could possibly be pumped into product purchases and simply fulfill 400 PV a month with change to spare.
On this sense Past Magnificence Membership comes off as an autoship recruitment scheme. It’s delicate however I’m not seeing any different give attention to retail gross sales.
The truth that Past Magnificence Membership has no retail product pricing by itself web site is a supporting inform.
All in all Past Magnificence Membership’s subject as an MLM alternative isn’t its merchandise. They could be sound given Simon Ourian has put his identify on them however as it’s they really feel exterior to Past Magnificence Membership.
The problem with Past Magnificence Membership is its identification, which its many disclosure failings feed into (compensation particulars, retail pricing and becoming a member of prices.
These are all client safety purple flags, with every omission of vital data leaving shoppers unable to make an knowledgeable determination about Past Magnificence Membership.
Method with warning in the event you’re in a position to get this data earlier than offering Past Magnificence Membership with any private data. However I’m additionally leaning in direction of “keep away from” till these compliance points are addressed.
