Everything you need to know about Skin Laundry’s highly targeted, 15-minute laser and light facials
Travel is one of life’s greatest joys, escaping everyday life to explore new cultures, far-flung lands, and luxury hotels and take a moment to reset, breathe and truly live in the moment. But while travelling is great for the mind, soul and often body, it’s more often than not great on our skin. Travelling can wreak havoc on the skin, from air-conditioning, aircraft cabins, jetlag, changes in temperature and humidity – not to mention sun exposure or a change in diet. For those wanting to look their very best or recover from adventures, Skin Laundry’s innovative laser facials offer a great solution – taking care of sun spots, dehydration, fine lines, congestion, hyperpigmentation and more – leaving you with fresh, glowing skin.
What is Skin Laundry?

The clinics combine cutting-edge aesthetics technology with medical-grade expertise, offering a wide array of facials and treatments from its singular Laser Facial – completed in just 15 minutes – to its carbon Laser, Fractional and more innovative solutions like the BBL. In the GCC, Skin Laundry has clinics in Kuwait’s Symphony Hotel, Abu Dhabi’s Al Qana and, DIFC’s ICD Brookfield Place and Dubai Marina’s The Residences at Marina Gate in Dubai. Dedicated to their service and utterly confident in the power of their innovative facial services, Skin Laundry offers special discounts of up to 50% off for first-time visitors and runs special packages for targeted laser and light facials – particularly helpful for those with skin troubles, sun damage or other historic skin issues.
Skin Laundry treatments
As a self-confessed sun worshipper when on vacation and someone who, despite the best intentions, often forgets to wear daily SPF50, Skin Laundry’s BBL facial has long tempted me – and when Skin Laundry DIFC reopened this summer, I didn’t hesitate in booking the treatment – following a bought of sunbathing and the emergence of a handful of new brown spots. Growing in popularity across the world, the BBL facial utilises the power of pulsating light to help reduce the appearance of freckles, age spots, brown spots and broken capillaries. Most clients will need 2-3 treatments to face sun spots and broken veins and leave them with glowing skin. Skin Laundry offers the BBL Hero to new clients for AED1,400, and treatments are recommended every three weeks or so.
For those getting ready to jet away or returning from a trip, Skin Laundyr’s signature facials take up around 20 minutes of your time, with the option to add ons to its signature treatments, ranging from 5 to 20 minutes, targeting the neck, hands, and chest or all three. Some of the most popular treatments include Skin Laundry’s Signature Facial, which is available for AED915, cleansing, improving pigmentation and boosting collagen, and HydraFacial for AED800. For those looking for a pre-holiday boost, it’s recommended to avoid sunbathing for five days afterwards, and for those returning, wait five days without sun before undergoing treatment.
