Dubai Derma 2025
Dubai Derma witnessed increasing interest from international visitors, with cosmetic procedures emerging as a fundamental element of the medical tourism ecosystem. Today, the UAE stands out as a leading destination for individuals seeking dermatological and aesthetic treatments.
The high-value deals signed during this year's edition reflect the growing global and local importance of the dermatology and aesthetic medicine sectors, underscoring continuous growth in this vital field.
Furthermore, the conference reaffirmed Dubai's global stature as a key venue for hosting prominent medical events by offering a dynamic platform for scientific exchange, knowledge sharing, networking, and showcasing cutting-edge medical technologies.
Artificial intelligence (AI) featured prominently throughout the conference, signalling its rising influence in shaping the future of dermatology and aesthetics by accelerating development, improving diagnostic accuracy, and enhancing clinical efficiency.
Dr. Abdulsalam AlMadani, Chairman of Dubai Derma, said: 'This rapidly growing sector is considered one of the most advanced globally, with the cosmetic surgery market exceeding $56bn last year. It is expected to continue its accelerated growth in the coming years, driven by medical and technological advancements and increased public awareness of the importance of skincare and aesthetic health.'
This year, the conference discussed several non-traditional aspects of dermatological treatment, most notably the emphasis on the importance of psychological and social dimensions in the therapeutic process, and their pivotal role in enhancing treatment effectiveness and improving the quality of life for patients.
In another first for the Middle East, the conference hosted a collaborative session between Dubai Derma and the Skin of Colour Society, focusing on treatments tailored for patients with skin of colour.
This initiative lays the groundwork for future educational and awareness-driven programmes promoting inclusivity and diversity in dermatology.

Not Just a Serum - A Skincare Breakthrough: L'Oréal Paris Launches MELASYL Serum in the GCC
Glow like never before with a formula that's clinically proven to outperform the rest... For many of us, skincare is more than just a routine. It's a ritual. A moment of self-care in an otherwise chaotic day. And when it comes to tackling stubborn pigmentation, post-acne marks, or uneven skin tone, the journey can be frustrating. But what if we told you that science just got a serious upgrade? Enter MELASYL Serum - L'Oréal Paris' latest innovation that promises fast, visible, and precise brightening results. Unveiled with much fanfare at the iconic Museum of the Future in Dubai on April 14, 2025, this revolutionary serum is already making waves across the region. And for good reason. A Breakthrough Backed by Science With over 18 years of development and 120+ scientific studies backing it, MELASYL is the result of a global research effort that screened more than 100,000 molecules - all to find the one that could truly target the root of dark spots: excess melanin production. "It's the result of decades of dedication," says Dr. Elisabeth Bouhadana, Scientific Director of L'Oréal Paris."What makes MELASYL special is its unique mode of action. Unlike other actives that try to block pigmentation, MELASYL captures the pre-pigment molecule before it ever becomes a stain. It's a totally new way of treating pigmentation - and it's suitable for all skin tones." Stronger Than the Best But how effective is it?... MELASYL has been scientifically proven to outperform five of the most popular anti-pigmentation ingredients - including vitamin C, niacinamide, PHE resorcinol, arbutin, and TXA. It's gentle, non-invasive, and most importantly, safe for all skin types, including sensitive ones. "We're not just talking about a cosmetic quick fix," explains Dr. Richard Betts, Scientific Director for L'Oréal Paris in South Asia Pacific, Middle East, and North Africa."MELASYL works on a cellular level. It combats the root cause of pigmentation by preventing excess melanin from forming in the first place. That's how you get an even skin tone without compromising your skin's natural color." First-Ever Appearance at Dubai Derma The launch also marked L'Oréal Paris' first participation in Dubai Derma, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from April 14–16. Industry experts, dermatologists, and beauty enthusiasts gathered to witness this scientific breakthrough firsthand. The brand's presence at Dubai Derma served as a powerful statement: L'Oréal Paris is not just a beauty brand. It's a skincare science leader. The Verdict? It's a Game-Changer This isn't just another brightening serum. It's a new era in skincare - one where science and safety come together to deliver visible results. "I feel really proud," says Dr. Bouhadana. "We've tested MELASYL not just on lab skin models but on real women, across different skin tones and concerns. It works on all types of dark spots, no matter the cause - and that's a big win in skincare." For those seeking a truly smart solution to dark spots, the Bright Reveal Serum with MELASYL may just be the answer. Because when it comes to skincare, L'Oréal Paris believes every face deserves science that cares. The MELASYL Bright Reveal Serum is now available across the GCC.
