Non-Surgical Cosmetic and Medical Procedures in Dubai
Non-surgical cosmetic procedures in Dubai are regulated by the Dubai Health Authority or DHA. In general, non-surgical cosmetic procedures are defined as “ elective techniques” which are focused on “ enhancing a patient’s appearance”, using “ non-invasive” or “ minimally invasive” procedures.
Regulatory Standards and Guidelines
The specific requirements and guidelines are set out, in extensive detail, in the DHA’s Standards for Non-Surgical Cosmetic Procedures , Version 2, which was issued in June 2022, and has been effective as of August 2022. Importantly, most non-surgical cosmetic procedures must be performed in DHA-licensed clinical health facilities. Depending on the procedure, they must be performed by the appropriate health professionals, who are authorized to perform those kinds of procedures.
For example, there are certain procedures, which only dermatologists and plastic surgeons can conduct. And, there are some procedures which beauty therapists are authorized to perform.
Examples of Non-Surgical Cosmetic Procedures
Some examples of non-surgical cosmetic procedures, subject to the DHA regulations include:
- Botox
- Laser and IPL hair removal
- Chemical peels
- Face fillers
- Micro-needling
- Body shaping treatments
- Lymphatic drainage
- Cryotherapy
- Piercings and Tattoos
Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) for Fibroids
UAE is a new, non-surgical treatment for fibroids. Fibroids are non-cancerous masses that can grow in many layers of the uterus. Depending on where they are growing they can push on different organs and cause different symptoms.
The entire procedure is done through a small catheter, like an IV, which is inserted in the wrist. Small beads directly target fibroids using x-ray guidance, and tiny beads cause the fibroid to shrink. This means just the fibroids shrink without effecting the rest of the uterus. You walk out after the procedure with a small bandage over the wrist and no incisions.
