Aesthetic Clinic in Sharjah

What does the Aesthetic Clinic do?

The Aesthetic Clinic at Dar Al Kamal Hospital provides non-surgical treatments for the skin, face and hair. Every treatment listed on this page is performed in-house, inside the hospital, by clinicians trained and privileged for that treatment. The work centres on appearance and skin quality: unwanted hair, dull or uneven skin, fine lines, lost facial volume, thinning hair and tattoos you would like removed.

Three departments look after the skin, and patients often mix them up. The distinction is simple once it is laid out:

• The Aesthetic Clinic improves how healthy skin, face and hair look, using treatments that involve no operation: lasers, facials, peels, needling, injections and PRP.
• Dermatology diagnoses and treats skin disease: acne that scars, eczema, psoriasis, infections, suspicious moles and medical hair loss.
• Plastic Surgery reshapes the face and body through operations, such as eyelid surgery, liposuction or a tummy tuck.

If a skin problem is active, inflamed or changing, Dermatology comes first. If you are considering a surgical change, Plastic Surgery is the right starting point. For everything in between, the Aesthetic Clinic is where to begin, and the teams refer to each other within the hospital when your plan crosses over.

When should you come to the Aesthetic Clinic?

Book a consultation if you would like help with:

• Unwanted hair on the face or body that you shave, wax or thread often
• Skin that looks dull, tired or uneven in tone
• Pigmentation marks, sun spots or uneven patches that you would like to fade
• Enlarged pores, rough texture or shallow acne marks on healthy skin
• Fine lines from frowning, squinting or raising your eyebrows
• Cheeks, lips or the lower face that have lost fullness
• Hair that is thinning gradually, once a medical cause has been checked
• A tattoo you would like lightened or removed
• Skin preparation ahead of a wedding, Eid or another occasion

When is a reaction after treatment urgent?

Mild redness, warmth and slight swelling are expected after many aesthetic treatments and settle on their own. Some reactions need prompt attention.

Contact the hospital on 06 599 7777 the same day if, after a filler or any injection, the skin turns pale, white, blotchy or dusky, or you have pain that is increasing rather than easing. These signs can mean the blood supply to the area is affected and need assessment without delay.

Contact the hospital if you notice blistering, crusting or weeping after a laser treatment or peel, or spreading redness, heat and pus after any treatment.

Go to the emergency department straight away if you have any change in your vision after a facial injection, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing.

Laser hair removal

Laser hair removal reduces unwanted hair on the face and body. The hospital uses Deka laser machines, and the settings are matched to your skin tone and hair colour at a consultation and patch test before your first session. Treatment works across a planned course, because hair grows in cycles and each session reaches the hairs in their active growing phase.

In the UAE sun, timing matters. Tanned skin absorbs more laser energy, so the clinician asks you to protect the area from the sun and set aside fake tan in the run-up to each session. Shaving between sessions is encouraged, because the laser needs the hair root in place.

Facials and skin brightening

Medical facials improve the surface and clarity of the skin. The HydraFacial cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates in one appointment, and suits skin that feels congested or dehydrated from air conditioning. The brightening facial focuses on dullness and uneven tone. The Facial Gold Stamp is a further facial option on the clinic's menu, and the clinician explains how each facial differs at your consultation.

Facials suit regular upkeep and occasions alike. A facial can also form part of a wider plan, alongside peels or microneedling for texture.

Peels, microneedling and mesotherapy

These treatments work deeper in the skin to address texture, marks and tone. Organic peeling uses a gentler peel formulation to lift dull surface cells and even out tone. Dermapen microneedling creates fine, controlled channels in the skin, which prompt its natural repair process and help with shallow acne marks, enlarged pores and texture. Mesotherapy delivers a blend of skin-nourishing ingredients into the skin through a series of tiny injections.

The clinician chooses between them based on your skin type and what you want to change, and often combines them over a planned course. Sun protection between sessions is part of every plan, especially in Sharjah, where strong sun can darken healing skin.

PRP for skin and hair

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. A small sample of your own blood is taken and spun to concentrate the platelets, which are then applied back to your skin or scalp. Because it comes from your own blood, the material is entirely yours.

A PRP facial is used to refresh skin quality and texture on the face. PRP hair therapy treats the scalp in gradual, pattern-type hair thinning. Hair loss has many causes, including iron deficiency and thyroid problems, so the clinician checks for a medical cause first and involves Dermatology where one is suspected.

Botox and dermal fillers

Botox treatment relaxes the muscles that create expression lines, such as frown lines, forehead lines and the lines beside the eyes. Dermal fillers restore volume to the cheeks, lips and lower face and soften the folds from the nose to the mouth. The two treatments address different kinds of line, and your consultation identifies which suits you.

Dr. Noura Salim Salman, a GP at Dar Al Kamal Hospital who holds Botox and filler privileges, gives these injections. She assesses your face at rest and in movement, plans the dose and placement with you, and reviews how you respond.

Tattoo removal

Tattoo removal uses laser light to break the tattoo ink into smaller particles, which the body then clears gradually. The tattoo fades across a course of sessions spaced apart to let the skin recover. Ink colour, depth and your skin tone all shape the plan, and the clinician explains what to expect for your tattoo at the first visit.

What happens at your appointment?

Every treatment starts with a consultation. The clinician asks what you would like to change, looks at your skin, face or hair, and takes a medical history, including medicines, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, recent sun exposure and any earlier cosmetic treatments.

Come with a clean face if your concern is facial, and bring a list of the skincare products and medicines you use. If you are fasting in Ramadan, mention it, as it can help to schedule injections and PRP for after iftar.

For laser treatments, a patch test is usually done first. You then receive a written plan covering the treatments, the number of sessions and the aftercare, so you can decide at your own pace.

Cost and insurance

Aesthetic treatments are usually self-pay, because UAE insurance plans generally cover treatment for disease and exclude cosmetic procedures. Where a treatment is for a medical problem, such as hair loss with a medical cause, the assessment may fall under Dermatology and your plan.
