The Exhibition:

In the last couple of decades, dermatology has embraced various new dimensions with progress in dermatoscopy, skin imaging technique, immune-dermatology, laser, and aesthetic dermatology.

This year’s edition of Dubai Derma has shed light on these astonishing breakthroughs in the world of dermatology and laser.

Some of the most innovative technologies are present and exhibitors are showcasing live demonstrations to show the true effectiveness of their product.  Laser devices are a major focus as they are a preferred method by many clients for treatments to reduce facial wrinkles and skin irregularities, such as blemishes or acne scars.

One of the main breakthroughs the event focuses on is the revolutionary treatment in the field of laser, the Vaser-Lipo,’ a type of liposuction that breaks apart fat cells and loosens them from your deeper tissues so that fat can effectively be removed during the treatment. VITATCK, who is one of the exhibitors that shed light on this device, assured that the use of this new technique which they are exhibiting today at Dubai Derma 2022 is the newest and most improved way for liposuction as it is more efficient and requires less recovery time.
