Frequently asked questions
Can I wear make-up afterwards?
We recommend waiting until the evening or next day.
What is the difference between a medical facial and a spa facial?
A medical facial uses medical-grade active ingredients, such as exfoliating acids, at strengths not used in spas, and it is planned after a skin assessment in a licensed clinic. A spa facial focuses mainly on relaxation. Medical facials suit concerns such as congestion, dullness and uneven texture.
How often should I have a medical facial?
Most people have a medical facial every four to six weeks, which matches the skin's natural renewal cycle. Skin usually looks brighter straight away, and texture improves with regular sessions and good home care. There is little or no downtime, so you can return to normal activities the same day.
How much does a medical facial cost in Dubai?
At Luméra Clinic, a medical-grade facial starts from AED 600 per session. Adding a peel or another active step can change the price. Your skin therapist confirms the plan and the full price before the facial begins.
