About Aesthetics International
It can be overwhelming when searching for an aesthetics clinic in Dubai. In fact, there are over 400 – all promising to make you look the very best you can. That said, finding the right clinic can be challenging, and most Dubains rely on word of mouth and personal recommendations – where our ‘Feeling Well’ series comes in. Personally tried, tried and wholeheartedly approved by Near+Far editor Isabella Craddock, Aesthetics International is one of the most friendly and all-encompassing clinics, widely known for offering the best botox in Dubai, amongst other procedures – pioneered by esteemed Dr Jaffer Khan. The clinic jostles next to competitors and other beauty businesses on the bustling Al Wasl road – the heart of the city’s aesthetics industry – and sets out to forge long-lasting relationships with clients, personally tailoring each treatment to what you need – rather than how many treatments they can upsell. The clinic offers deeply personal advice, including in-depth consultations before each treatment (even routine botox) and provides both surgical and non-surgical treatments.
The Space
Aesthetics International occupies a villa on Al Wasl Road, creating. warm, friendly and homely feel with its rich woods, plush furnishings, fresh flowers, and private treatment rooms – instead of the typically stark and clinical modern aesthetic. This cosy feeling sets your mind at ease straight away.
The Offering
Aesthetics International offers a range of surgical and non-surgical, perfect for some pre-travel beautification or a post-travel refresh. The clinic is renowned for its offering some of the best botox in Dubai, thanks to the skills of its in-house general practitioner, Dr. Zara Yousufzai. Those looking for botox, or indeed other minimally invasive and non-invasive procedures like anti-ageing treatments, facial rejuvenation and body contouring, are in completely safe hands. Her bedside manner is impeccable, explaining how each muscle works and what each injection will do – and exactly what the customer wants from their producer (for this reviewer, botox) before painlessly and gently going about it. Her results are superb – and you most likely won’t need to return for your two-week follow-up.
Other treatments at Aesthetic International include scar revision, microdermabrasion, PRP, thread lift, skinboosters, mesotherapy, non-surgical blepharoplasty, lasers and lights, micro-needling, chemical peeling, therapy, HIFU, laser hair removal, tattoo removal, female genital rejuvenation, and many more. She’s also master in intravenous drip therapy, which includes antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
The vibe
Relaxed, friendly, accessible, carefree – like visiting a friend’s home rather than a clinic. There’s nothing stark or clinical to even make you think this place is on e- apart from the cutting-edge medical equipment and squeaky clean treatment rooms.
Unmissable treatments
Botox is of course, unmissable here, with Dr Zara mastering the desirable brow lift and managing to tread the line between natural and snatched so perfectly (this is the clinic for those who want the natural Botox look). Other hero treatments include Meta Cell Plasma Therapy, utilising the body’s own plasma to rejuvenate and repair skin, promoting natural healing and revitalisation; lip boosters; exomes (leverages cell-derived vesicles to improve skin texture and tone, accelerating tissue repair and regeneration); collagen injections, Polynucleotide (stimulating cell growth and repair), moxi laster (skin rejuvenation and targeted pigmentation).
Open Sunday to Thursday, 9am to 8pm; Friday 9am to 6pm; Saturday 10am to 4pm.
