A great facial will help cleanse the skin of many impurities and dead cells, clear out clogged pores, and rejuvenate and bring to the surface healthier and brighter skin. Before moving onto more drastic anti-aging treatments, face treatments are the best clinically recommended procedures to slow down the aging process. The most common facial treatments provided at clinics are: microdermabrasion, microneedling, CO2 laser skin resurfacing, radiofrequency (RF), ultrasound, and chemical peels.

What are facial treatments?
Facial treatments are clinically supervised aesthetic procedures that are designed to cleanse the face of impurities, increase healthy blood circulation, and reduce the effects of aging such as wrinkles and age spots. There are a few different types of facial treatments to consider and are as follows:
Microdermabrasion (Trophy Skin, TopDirect, Kendal, MySweety, and Microderm Glo et.): A skin resurfacing process where the upper layer of the skin is blasted with aluminum crystals to gently exfoliate it and simultaneously vacuum up the dead cells and crystals to facilitate new skin cell, collagen and elastin production.
Hydrodermabrasion, also referred to as Hydrafacial in clinics, is a skin resurfacing process similar to Microdermabrasion but instead of blasting the skin with crystals, the process uses saline solution and oxygen to gently exfoliate the top layer of skin and then infuse it with a serum.
Oxygen Facial, is a facial spray treatment composed of condensed oxygen molecules and can be infused with vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients.
Intensed Pulsed Light (IPL), also referred to as Photofacial in clinics, is a non-ablative facial treatment that uses a broadband of light energy to treat acne scars, hyperpigmentation, melasma, wrinkles, and sun damaged skin. This process is also used for hair removal.
CO2 Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing (Fraxel, MiXto, TotalFX, Acupuls, Erbium et.): A ablative laser skin resurfacing process where the top layer of skin is temporarily damaged to induce the rebuilding and replacing of new cells in the damaged areas.
Microneedling(iBeautyPen, MDPen, Dermapen et.) : A skin pricking process that uses a clinical derma roller which creates small channels into the skin and triggers the production of collagen, and elastin underneath the skin.
RF Microneedling: Similar to traditional Microneedling procedure, RF Microneedling additionally uses radiofrequency to further amplify the production of collagen and elastin.
Chemical Peel: A skin exfoliating process where a chemical peel is applied to eliminate dead cells from the top layer of skin. There are 3 clinical types of peel based on skin type and needs. Light/superficial (Alpha Hydroxy and Beta Hydroxy peels), medium depth (Trichloroacetic peel) and deep peel (Phenol).
Radiofrequency (RF), also referred to as Thermage in clinics, is a simultaneous deep skin tissue heating, and skin surface cooling process, using a radiofrequency device to restore and stimulate collagen production.
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), is a skin lifting technique that uses ultrasound waves to heat up deep skin tissues to stimulate and produce collagen production.
Why is there such a wide gap between facial treatment prices in Dubai?
Brand awareness of the clinic: treatment from a more reputable hospital will be costlier than a clinic not widely known to people. Institutions make huge investments to build a trusted brand and patients are supposed to pay a premium to consume it.
Location: Clinics located in Jumeirah, Downtown, or Dubai Marina need to pay higher rents, multiple times more than similarly sized facilities located in less expensive areas of Dubai. Clinics in costlier areas, in turn, will charge more for otherwise similar services accordingly.
Experience of the practitioner: It is quite understandable that you pay more for a service from a more experienced practitioner. In addition to that, if you get treatment from a doctor not a technician, it would cost you more. Among doctors, you will need to pay more to get the treatment from specialists such as dermatologists and plastic surgeons as they have more expertise and experience in the field than GPs.
Combination and technology treatments: Clinics and specialists may recommend and provide treatments that combine different facial treatment techniques. Also, providers can utilize the latest brands and technologies that promise better results.
Who can perform facial treatments in Dubai?
In Dubai, facial treatments are covered under the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) Health Regulation Department for the Standards for Non Surgical Cosmetic Services, and Dubai Healthcare City Authority (DHCA) for Standards for Non Surgical Cosmetic Procedures. Dermatologists, and plastic surgeons with a valid DHA/DHCA license can perform non surgical cosmetic procedures for the face without needing any further requirements.
General physicians, nurses and beauty therapists can also perform specific facial treatments but must first obtain specific training, Basic Life Support (BLS) certification, Continuous Medical Education (CME) hours, hands-on practical training, and completion of aesthetic cases under specialists. All of which need to be inline with the guidelines stipulated and approved by DHA and DHCA.
Registered Nurses (RN) in Dubai can only provide the following non-surgical cosmetic facial treatments : Non-ablative laser treatment such as IPL, Microdermabrasion (medium and deep), RF treatments, and HIFU (Ultrasound).
Beauty therapists in Dubai can only provide the following non-surgical facial treatments: Topical Microneedling, Microdermabrasion, Superficial Chemical Peels and Hydrafacials.
Non surgical medical procedures in clinics must always be performed with the availability of at least one dermatologist or plastic surgeon on the premises of the clinic.
Outside of clinics and hospitals, beauty salons can provide non-surgical cosmetic services as mentioned above for Beauty Therapists. However, unlike clinics, non surgical medical services performed by beauty therapists do not require the availability of a dermatologist or plastic surgeon on the premises of the salon.
It is also recommended to always check the credentials of those performing the procedure through 3rd party sources like DrFive.com or the clinic's own website to ensure they have the right expertise and experience.
What are the benefits of facial treatments?
There are a broad number of facial treatments provided by clinics and specialists. Each facial treatment addresses certain skin issues specific to the profile of the patient. Facial treatments work on the surface of the skin and all the way to deep tissues to increase collagen and elastin production. The intended results are to help skin regain smoother texture, restore damaged cells, brighten skin tone, and tighten skin sagging. Facial treatments have also shown improvements against acne scars, dark spots, stretch marks and wrinkles.
Who is the right candidate for facial treatments?
Anyone over the age of 18 years old, in relatively good health, is a suitable candidate for facial treatments. For pregnant or breast-feeding women, some procedures result in bleeding and there are some risks with infections. Some chemical peels are also safe, however with deeper peels there is an associated risk with blood becoming contaminated from peels. It is always better to consult directly with a specialist to know which facial treatments are least risky or absolutely safe to undergo. In addition, people with a skin infection in and around the areas that need to be treated should speak to their specialist first.
What do you experience during a facial treatment?
As some of the facial treatment involves mild to abrasive, resurfacing and puncture of the skin, you will bleed slightly, and feel some mild pains around the treatment sites. For chemical peels, there will also be some redness and swelling.
What are the potential risks with facial treatments?
Other than the immediate discomforts such as mild pains, and redness, associated with facial treatments, facial treatment is considered relatively safe. However, more elevated risks include skin infections, burns, hypersensitivity and skin surface irregularities.

Therefore, it's always a good idea to be as gentle as possible when you are independently experimenting with different facial treatments accessible in the general market.
