Dubai’s Best Luxury Clinics
Aesthetic Polyclinic
Best For: Body sculpting
Visiting once a month from San Paolo, Brazilian super surgeon Dr Gioliano Borille has opened the doors of his new Aesthetic Polyclinic, right opposite the Museum of the Future. Patients flock from all corners of the globe for his signature LipoMD technique (from £15,000), that sculpts the abdomen and snatches waistlines.
A move away from traditional liposuction, it is best for slender patients who have stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to gym workouts. Borille removes subcutaneous fat from under the skin, thinning the skin and injecting harvested fat into the fascia of the muscles for extra definition. The area is then wrapped with his unique foam compression pads that are worn for one month, negating the need for a lymphatic drainage massage post operation. The procedure, which takes around two hours and is performed at the Dubai London Hospital under a general anaesthetic, gives elegant, natural looking results. In some cases where patients have diastasis recti (separation of muscles) after pregnancy, he performs AbdominoplastyMD, repairing muscle separation and removing excess skin to creates a new connection between skin and muscles underneath. He also offers breast augmentations and power assisted liposuction to complete the honed look.
Aeon Clinic
Best For: A longevity boost
At the Aeon clinic at Atlantis the Royal hotel, Dr Jaffer Khan has assembled a crack team of surgeons, scientists and doctors focussed on reversing clients’ biological age. You can dip into a highly advanced menu of treatments – not available in the UK – such as peptide injections administered into the abdomen for a range of biohacking boosts, from sharpening cognitive function to spiking sex drive. There is Laser IV therapy where patients’ blood is extracted, oxygenated and boosted through a Ultra Violet filter. Some guests come annually for Exosome Intravenous drips (from £21,000) to boost energy while others go all out with the 14 day Platinum Rejuvenessence Programme, (approx. £150,000) which includes gastro intestinal mapping, telomere testing, gut and liver cleansing and stem cell infusions from local human donors.
23MD
Best For: Injectable boosters
Husband and wife team Dr Martin Galy (hormone expert) and Dr Suha Kersh (advanced injector) have been regular speed dial entries for London’s elite for years, but are now striking out in the Middle East with 23MD. This is a slick new clinic offering a body suite which uses machines to tighten and tone sagging flesh; a facial injection room with treatments such as the new Profhilo Structura, a hyaluronic acid formula that targets fat cells in the mid-face to pick up sag; and Youtheal, a Polynucleotide and exosome mix (not currently available in the UK) that is needled into the skin for the ultimate glow.
Biolite
Best For: A vitality kick
The city’s original aesthetics and wellness clinic, Biolite has been a Dubai institution for 17 years and still manages to be ahead of the curve. For weary travellers, it’s well worth booking in for Somatherapy, a jet lag cure that calms anxiety too. Lying on a heated waterbed under a canopy of lights, patients plug into headphones that uses acoustic and vibrational therapy to relax brain waves. Also ideal for those prone to overthinking, the treatment improves your quality and quantity of sleep.
Elsewhere, Meta Cell Plasma Therapy uses exosomes extracted from patient’s own blood plasma to regenerate the skin and can be applied to the scalp to stimulate hair follicles, reducing hair loss, for fuller, thicker hair. For an all-over scan, opt for Bicom Bioresonance Therapy, which utilises electromagnetic frequencies to detect and correct energy imbalances in the body; it also picks up food intolerance and allergies, and can help with inflammatory conditions such as asthma, acne, eczema, psoriasis and addictions. Make sure you take home the clinic’s own excellent range of skincare and one of their futuristic sun visors that are de riguer on Dubai’s most elegant sun loungers.
