Dubai, nicknamed the “Beverly Hills of the Middle East,” is becoming one of the hottest destinations for cosmetic surgery and treatments—and experts say the boom shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon, writes Forbes.

“The Middle East has become a huge destination for beauty, aesthetics and wellness,” says Dr. Isa Jamil, a leading UK board-certified consultant dermatologist and specialist in laser and aesthetic medicine. “It’s almost a gateway between Asia and the rest of Europe, and I think a lot of people are flocking here for the cutting-edge medical cosmetic offerings and luxury experiences—a combination you can’t always get elsewhere.”

Dubai attracts millions of visitors a year who are looking for more than just a bit of winter sun. With its advanced infrastructure and rapid adoption of cutting-edge technology, as well as an influx of skilled professionals choosing to relocate due to its favorable tax regime, welcoming job market and high quality of life, Dubai is now seen as a new growth destination for all forms of aesthetic medicine—second only to Los Angeles and London.

Dr. Derrick Phillips, an award-winning consultant dermatologist specializing in medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology at Dubai’s most sought-after Biolite Clinic, agrees. “Dubai is a fantastic place to immerse yourself in all things skin, aesthetics and wellness—they are leaders in many innovative treatments, techniques and technologies and really put the future of wellness and skin health at the forefront of their thinking.”

Doctors note as well the wider diversity of patients and clinical problems seen in Dubai's clinics, making the city an excellent place to address skin concerns common to both the region and other countries with similar climates.
