Mesotherapy in Dubai — for face, hair and lips
Hydrated, glowing skin and stronger-looking hair through targeted micro-injections, planned by Specialist Dermatologist Dr. Abdullah Anis and delivered by Medical Aesthetician Dr. Kavitha Ravichandran in Al Safa 1, Dubai.

Mesotherapy delivers tiny amounts of hydrating and nourishing ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids and selected actives, into the skin or scalp through micro-injections. At Manhal Medical Center in Al Safa 1, Dubai, Dr. Abdullah Anis assesses your skin or hair loss first, then Dr. Kavitha Ravichandran performs a course of sessions, usually 3–5 for the face and more for the scalp.

What mesotherapy can do for you
Mesotherapy is for people who want their skin to look fresher and better hydrated, or their hair to feel stronger, without downtime that keeps them away from work. Dubai's sun, heat and air conditioning dehydrate skin quickly; stress, diet and hormones show up in the scalp. Mesotherapy places active ingredients exactly where they are needed, in the upper layers of the skin or scalp, using very fine needles or an injector.
Face mesotherapy
On the face, neck and hands, mesotherapy usually uses hyaluronic acid with vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants. The aim is better hydration, glow and fine texture. The change is subtle and builds over a course; it does not replace Botox for movement lines or fillers for lost volume.
Hair mesotherapy
On the scalp, mesotherapy is part of a hair-loss plan, with formulations that may include vitamins such as biotin, amino acids, minerals and, in some protocols, medicines that act on follicles. It is only offered once the cause of your hair loss is known.
Lip mesotherapy
For dry, dull or darker lips, light hydrating and brightening mesotherapy can improve softness and tone. See lip whitening and plumping.
Every plan starts with Dr. Abdullah Anis, Specialist Dermatologist with more than 25 years in dermatology, who explains exactly what is in your solution and why. Sessions are performed by Dr. Kavitha Ravichandran, a DHA-licensed Medical Aesthetician and Aesthetic Laser Specialist with more than 17 years in aesthetic skin, hair and laser treatments, under his supervision.

Mesotherapy vs PRP vs skin boosters
Patients often ask which to choose. The honest answer depends on the goal.
| Mesotherapy | PRP | Skin boosters | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What is injected | Hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids or selected actives | Platelets from your own blood | Stabilised hyaluronic acid products |
| Best for the face | Glow, hydration, a quick refresh | Texture, skin quality, mild scarring | Deep hydration and bounce |
| Best for the hair | Support within a hair-loss plan | Most published evidence for pattern thinning | Not used for hair |
| Blood draw | No | Yes | No |
| Downtime | Small bumps for up to a day | Redness 1–3 days | Small bumps for a day or two |
| Typical face course | 3–5 sessions | About 3 sessions | Usually 2 sessions |
For hair, PRP has more evidence than mesotherapy; many patients combine the two with medical treatment.

| Face mesotherapy course | 4 | Sessions 2–4 weeks apart with photo review | Ask for today's price |

Who should wait or choose another option

- Allergy to any ingredient in the formulation
- A history of keloids, until assessed
- Sudden patchy hair loss that has not been diagnosed
Pain, downtime, safety and results
Does it hurt?
Numbing cream keeps most people comfortable. You will feel quick pricks, and the scalp and lips are more sensitive than the cheeks.
Downtime
Small bumps, redness or pinpoint bruises usually settle within a day or two. Avoid make-up for about 24 hours, and skip saunas, intense exercise and strong sun for a day. After hair mesotherapy, wait 24 hours before washing your hair.
Safety
Side effects are usually mild. Rarely, injections can cause infection or an allergic reaction, which is why mesotherapy should be done by licensed professionals with known, approved products in a clinic. Contact us if you notice increasing pain, swelling, pus or fever.
Results
Facial glow is often visible within days and improves over a course. Hair results are judged over three to six months with photographs. Results vary, and mesotherapy cannot promise a specific change.
How to choose the best mesotherapy clinic in Dubai

- Can the clinic tell you exactly which product is used and why?

- Will progress be reviewed with photos before more sessions are sold?
- Will they tell you honestly when PRP, a skin booster or medicine is a better fit?

Questions patients ask
Patients visit us from Al Safa, Al Wasl, Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, Al Quoz, City Walk, Business Bay, Downtown Dubai and Al Barsha — and from Sharjah and the wider UAE.
How much does mesotherapy cost in Dubai?
The price depends on the product, the area and the number of sessions. At Manhal you can book a single session or a course of four for the face, or a course of six for hair, and combinations with PRP are quoted as one plan. You receive a written quote after assessment. Ask on WhatsApp for today's price.
How many mesotherapy sessions do I need?
For the face, a typical course is three to five sessions two to four weeks apart, followed by occasional maintenance. For hair, sessions are often every one to two weeks at first and then spread out, with results judged at three to six months. Your plan depends on your skin, your hair loss and your response.
Does mesotherapy work for hair loss?
Mesotherapy can support the scalp as part of a hair-loss plan, particularly when formulations include medicines that act on follicles. The evidence is more limited and varied than for PRP or medical treatment, partly because formulations differ so much. Dr. Abdullah Anis recommends it only when it suits your diagnosis, and often alongside PRP or minoxidil.
Is mesotherapy better than PRP?
They do different jobs. PRP uses your own platelets and has more published evidence for pattern hair loss and for skin texture. Mesotherapy uses a chosen formulation, needs no blood draw and is good for hydration and glow. Many patients combine them, and the consultation will tell you which matters more for your goal.
What is in mesotherapy?
Facial formulations commonly contain hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants. Hair formulations may include biotin and other vitamins, amino acids, minerals and, in some protocols, medicines that act on hair follicles. At Manhal you are told which product is used and why before treatment.
Is mesotherapy painful?
Numbing cream is applied for about 20 to 30 minutes before treatment, so most people feel quick pricks rather than pain. The scalp and lips are more sensitive than the cheeks. Any tenderness usually settles within a day.
Is there downtime after mesotherapy?
Very little. Small bumps and redness usually fade within hours to a day, and pinpoint bruises within a few days. Avoid make-up for around 24 hours, and skip saunas, swimming, strong sun and intense exercise for a day. Most people go back to work straight away.
When will I see mesotherapy results?
On the face, many people notice glow within days, and texture improves over the course. On the scalp, results are slower because hair grows slowly; reduced shedding and improved density are judged with photos after three to six months.
Who performs mesotherapy at Manhal?
Specialist Dermatologist Dr. Abdullah Anis assesses your skin or diagnoses your hair loss and supervises the plan. Sessions are performed by Dr. Kavitha Ravichandran, a DHA-licensed Medical Aesthetician and Aesthetic Laser Specialist with more than 17 years in aesthetic skin, hair and laser treatments.
Can mesotherapy plump my lips?
Lip mesotherapy hydrates and softens the lips and can make them look slightly fuller and smoother, but it does not add shape or volume like lip filler. If you want definite volume, lip filler with Dr. Abdullah Anis is the right option. Our lip whitening and plumping page explains the difference.
Is mesotherapy safe?
When performed by licensed professionals with approved products in a clinic, side effects are usually mild: redness, small bumps, minor bruising or tenderness. Rarely, infection or allergy can occur. It is avoided in pregnancy, breastfeeding, active infection and some bleeding conditions.

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
