Adult acne treatment in Dubai — for women and men
Many patients first get acne — or get it back — in their twenties to forties. Products that worked as a teenager often fail on adult skin.
Adult acne often appears on the jawline and chin and is linked to hormones, stress, cosmetics and genetics. A dermatologist chooses between prescription creams, hormonal options for suitable women, antibiotics for short courses or isotretinoin, while preventing scars.
Key facts
- Jawline and chin pattern common
- Hormones, stress, cosmetics
- Prescription treatment
- Scar prevention from the start
Acne in women
Hormonal acne flares around periods and on the lower face; hormonal assessment and treatment options can help.
Acne in men
Often more oily and inflammatory, sometimes linked to shaving irritation, supplements or gym routines.
Preventing marks and scars
Early, effective treatment and avoiding picking prevent dark marks and scarring, which are harder to treat than acne.
Acne is a medical skin condition. Effective treatment matches the type — comedonal, inflammatory, hormonal or cystic — and prevents scarring.

Reasonable price and great location. Great experience so far I had my laser done and very happy with the result. So I decided to purchase another package :)Like many people, I don't enjoy the dentist. For many years I avoided visits out of fear. I found Manhal 15 years ago, and he is a wonderful dentist. Calming presence. Excellent implantology as well as other dental work. I have recommended him personally to many friends, and will continue to do so. I just hope he doesn't ever retire. When I have been overseas with dental problems, I have flown back to Dubai specifically to see him. Could not imagine ever going to another dentist.this was my first visit to Dr Manhal after recomendation from my husband, i needed his consultation after i visited more than one doctor in Lebanon with no luck, i am glad i visited him, he is very professional the clinic is very clean with great staff
