Life

For nearly two decades, women in Abu Dhabi wanting access to SKIN111‘s doctors and technologies had to make the trip to Dubai, and with the opening of the brand’s new clinic at Yas Mall’s Welcome Pavilion, that’s no longer the case.

Since its establishment in the UAE in 2007, SKIN111 has grown into a doctor-led aesthetic, medical and wellness brand trusted by more than 50,000 patients a year from over 120 nationalities, a reputation reflected in its recognition among the Top 6 Aesthetic Clinics in the GCC for six consecutive years running from 2021 to 2026, its Best Aesthetics Clinic win at the MEA Business Awards in both 2022 and 2023, and the more than 5,000 Google reviews it has accumulated at a 4.9-star rating. What has shaped that growth, according to the clinic, is a model built less around any single procedure or trend and more around the individual walking through the door, with treatment planning that begins by understanding a patient’s skin, lifestyle and goals rather than by defaulting to a particular injectable, laser or device.

That distinction matters because the definition of beauty itself has been shifting, with many women now less interested in dramatic transformation and more drawn to healthier-looking skin, natural results, body confidence and long-term wellbeing, a subtler set of priorities that SKIN111 says now shapes almost every consultation. A woman concerned about pigmentation requires a different approach from one addressing skin laxity, acne scarring or volume loss, which is why the Abu Dhabi clinic gives its doctors a broad range of technologies to draw from rather than a single fallback treatment. PicoWay is used for pigmentation, melasma, acne scars and unwanted tattoos, Fotona covers laser protocols spanning rejuvenation, tightening and resurfacing, and Ultraformer MPT relies on focused ultrasound for non-surgical lifting, while HydraFacial, Secret Duo and Candela laser hair removal round out the clinic’s skin-maintenance and hair-removal offering.

Injectables have followed a similar shift, with dermal fillers still used to restore volume in areas like the lips, cheeks, chin and jawline, but with the conversation increasingly turning toward skin quality itself, encompassing hydration, collagen stimulation and elasticity. SKIN111’s regenerative and skin-booster options now include Rejuran, Profhilo, Sculptra, Jalupro and polynucleotide-based treatments, chosen with the aim of supporting each patient’s own features rather than producing a uniform result, which the clinic says matters most for women who want to look refreshed rather than visibly treated.

That same logic extends beyond the treatment room, since looking well and feeling well draw on the same foundations of hydration, nutrition, sleep and stress management, and SKIN111 treats wellness as part of the same brief rather than a separate offering. The model includes personalised IV therapy, available since 2013, alongside wellness consultations, advanced diagnostics and biohacking, with longevity-focused programmes such as red light therapy used to help reduce inflammation and oxygen therapy used to support mental clarity and recovery. Weight management is approached the same way, starting with a consultation and body-composition assessment using InBody before any plan is built, with results sometimes supported through a combination of IV drips and peptide protocols alongside body-contouring devices like TruSculpt iD, TruSculpt Flex and Venus Legacy for contouring, muscle conditioning and skin firmness. Depending on clinical appropriateness, that scope of care can extend further still into hormonal health, perimenopause and menopause support, and broader metabolic and energy-focused wellness programmes.

Bringing aesthetic medicine, advanced lasers, injectables, medical weight management, IV therapy and longevity diagnostics together under one roof isn’t, in SKIN111’s telling, about offering patients more treatments, but about giving them the flexibility to pursue whichever combination actually serves what they’re trying to achieve, whether that’s clearer skin, a more contoured silhouette or simply more energy day to day. With the Yas Mall clinic now open, that same approach is available to women in the capital without the drive to Dubai, part of a broader recognition that looking well and feeling well have become part of the same conversation rather than two separate pursuits.
