Botox in Dubai — anti-wrinkle injections by a dermatologist
Botulinum toxin injections for frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet by a specialist dermatologist at Manhal Medical Center, Dubai.
Botox in Dubai softens expression lines such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet by relaxing targeted muscles. At Manhal Medical Center, injections are performed by a specialist dermatologist who plans conservative doses for natural movement.
Why patients consider Botox (Anti-Wrinkle Injections)
Patients want to look less tired or stern without surgery. Botulinum toxin is also used medically for excessive underarm sweating.

What patients say on Google
Verbatim Google reviews (4★ and 5★) — shown in the original language.
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
