A good facial should do more than feel relaxing; it should be chosen for what your skin actually needs. At Portofino Aesthetic Clinic in Dubai Silicon Oasis, every facial begins with a doctor or trained aesthetic specialist assessing your skin type, current concerns and goals, rather than offering a single fixed treatment to every patient. That’s the difference between a spa facial and a medically supervised one: the plan is built around your skin, not a set service menu.
Facials are non-invasive, in-clinic treatments designed to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate and improve the overall condition of the skin’s surface. Unlike injectables or laser treatments, facials generally involve little to no downtime, which makes them a common first step for patients building an ongoing skin health routine, or a standalone treatment before an event.
At Portofino, we use in-clinic technology tailored to the concern being treated, rather than as a default add-on. Where technology is used, your specialist will explain what it does, why it’s suited to your skin, and what it cannot achieve, before it’s included in your treatment plan.
The cost of a facial at Portofino depends on the type of facial, the technology used and whether it’s combined with another treatment such as LED
therapy or a peel. Because every plan is matched to your skin during consultation rather than sold as a fixed package.
