Skin Care Treatments in Dubai – Al Manara Specialized Medical Center

Skin care treatments are non-invasive procedures designed to enhance, refresh, and restore the skin’s natural glow. Each person has a unique skin type—some may have dry skin, while others may experience oily or combination skin. Over time, various factors such as environmental exposure, stress, hormonal changes, and aging can affect the skin’s appearance and texture.

As a result, the skin may lose its natural radiance, and concerns like acne, blackheads, dullness, and uneven tone may begin to appear. At Al Manara Clinic, we offer tailored skin care solutions to meet the specific needs of every skin type, helping patients achieve healthier, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin.

Other factors such as smoking, skin damage, exposure to sunlight or adverse weather conditions also affect skin health. The most important factor to consider in skin care is its type. Skin problems can be eliminated and vitality added to the skin with a care session. Here is some quick information about the session:

Anesthesia	No Need
Process Duration	1 hour
Session Purpose	Purify from blackheads, acne and dead cells and give the skin a bright and vibrant appearance.

Who Performs a Skin Care Session?

At Al Manara Specialized Medical Center, skin care sessions are performed by licensed dermatologists or trained medical aestheticians under clinical supervision. It’s essential to receive such treatments in a sterile, medically certified environment using approved products and equipment.

When choosing a medical center, key factors to consider include:

The qualifications and experience of the provider
The cleanliness and medical safety standards of the facility

Advanced Skin Care Techniques at Al Manara Clinic

In addition to professional skincare products, we offer a range of advanced skin treatment technologies tailored to your skin type and concerns. Here’s a closer look at one of our most popular techniques:

Dermapen (Microneedling)

Dermapen is a collagen-induction therapy that rejuvenates the skin by stimulating natural healing through controlled micro-injuries.

Utilizes fine, medical-grade needles to create tiny channels on the skin’s surface
Promotes the production of collagen and elastin
Reduces the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and pigmentation
Enhances overall skin texture and tone

A topical anesthetic cream is typically applied beforehand to minimize any discomfort. The procedure takes approximately 20–30 minutes and is safe for all skin types.

Advanced Skin Rejuvenation Techniques at Al Manara Clinic

At Al Manara Specialized Medical Center, we offer a variety of advanced techniques to complement your skin care routine and address specific skin concerns such as scarring, aging, acne, and dullness. Here’s a closer look at some of our most effective treatments:

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is a deep exfoliation technique used to resurface the skin by removing its outermost layers. It is ideal for treating:

Acne scars and surface pits
Fine lines and wrinkles
Sun damage and uneven skin tone

By exfoliating damaged skin cells, new, healthy tissue regenerates, resulting in brighter, smoother, and more even-toned skin.

Topical anesthetic cream is applied beforehand to ensure comfort
The procedure lasts approximately 30–40 minutes
Recovery time is typically 7–10 days, during which the skin will peel and heal
The number of sessions needed depends on your skin type and condition

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy

PRP, also known as the “vampire facial”, involves using the patient’s own plasma—rich in growth factors—to stimulate collagen and cell regeneration.

Applied during or after a facial or microneedling session
Boosts elasticity, firmness, and overall skin vitality
Especially effective for reducing fine lines, dullness, and early aging signs

For optimal results, a series of sessions is usually recommended, as a single treatment may not deliver long-term benefits.

HydraFacial

HydraFacial is a breakthrough, non-invasive skin treatment that combines the benefits of:

Mechanical exfoliation and chemical peeling
Pore extraction with vacuum suction
Deep hydration through serum infusion
LED light therapy for skin tightening and collagen support

Key benefits include:

Gentle removal of blackheads, acne, and dead skin
Visible improvement in skin tone, texture, and hydration
No discomfort, no downtime—results in under 30 minutes

HydraFacial is safe for all skin types and is an excellent option for routine maintenance or pre-event skin glow.

Peeling Treatments

Peeling is an advanced exfoliation technique designed to remove dead, dull skin cells and restore the skin’s natural radiance and smoothness. By eliminating surface buildup, peeling helps the skin breathe, regenerate, and absorb nutrients more effectively.

At Al Manara Clinic, we offer multiple types of peeling treatments based on your skin type, condition, and treatment goals, including:

Chemical Peel

This method uses a carefully selected blend of active acids to gently remove damaged outer layers of skin. It is effective for:

Hyperpigmentation
Acne scars
Uneven skin tone
Fine lines and sun damage

Carbon Peel (Laser Carbon Facial)

This technique uses activated carbon to deeply purify the pores and rejuvenate the skin. It is especially beneficial for:

Oily or acne-prone skin
Enlarged pores
Dull or congested complexion

The appropriate peeling method is selected based on a professional skin analysis and your doctor’s recommendation to ensure safe and visible results.

Facial Masks – The Final Step in Skin Care

Once the appropriate skin care products and techniques—such as peeling, HydraFacial, or microneedling—are selected and applied based on your skin type, the treatment concludes with a soothing facial mask.

These masks are specially chosen to:

Restore skin hydration and moisture balance
Calm and soothe the skin after active procedures
Enhance the skin’s natural glow and promote a healthy, refreshed appearance

Steps of a Professional Skin Care Session at Al Manara Clinic

Each skin care session at Al Manara is carefully structured to deliver optimal results based on your skin’s unique needs. The complete treatment typically takes around 45 minutes and is divided into three key phases:

1. Before the Session

Before beginning, your specialist will conduct a comprehensive skin consultation to:

Determine your skin type and condition
Discuss your concerns and treatment goals
Recommend the most suitable technique (e.g., PRP, Dermapen, Peeling)
Plan the number of sessions and appropriate intervals between treatments

If a technique involving deeper skin penetration is used, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to ensure maximum comfort.

2. During the Session

The treatment begins with:

Cleansing the skin to remove any makeup, cream, or impurities
Using targeted techniques to address concerns like blackheads, acne, scarring, or uneven texture
Applying a customized facial mask to nourish, balance, and hydrate the skin
Finishing with a relaxing facial massage using specialized therapeutic oils suited to your skin type

Every step is tailored to leave your skin feeling refreshed, revitalized, and glowing.

3. After the Session

You can resume your normal daily activities immediately after your session. For enhanced and lasting results:

Use the post-care creams recommended by your specialist
If procedures like Dermapen or PRP were used, be sure to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
Avoid harsh products or direct sun exposure for the first few days

Aftercare Instructions – Skin Care Treatments

To ensure the best results after your professional skin care session at Al Manara, it’s important to follow specific post-treatment instructions:

Always follow your doctor’s personalized recommendations
If techniques like PRP (plasma), Dermapen, or Dermabrasion were used, avoid washing the treated area until the next day
Do not apply any chemical-based products (e.g., exfoliants or retinoids) during the initial recovery period
If you’re considering additional treatments (such as fillers or Botox), consult your doctor first for proper timing
Avoid applying sunscreen immediately after Dermapen, PRP, or Dermabrasion sessions, unless advised otherwise
