I need to change my skincare products, have been using the same brand unavailable here for many years and feel its time for a change. Age 40++ with dry skin, any recommendations?

Reviving this oldish thread as I want to have breast augmentation and am very confused about which surgeon to go with. I have an appointment booked with Dr Khan, but after seeing the reviews about Dr Rezai I am reconsidering. Could anyone give me an idea of the approximate cost of BA with Dr Rezai and does anyone have any current reviews. Thank you

I have some twenty something visitors that would like to do a Friday brunch. I thought Yalumba or Saffron would be good for them but they are fully booked. Does anyone have other recommendations? Thanks

Ive had quite a few sun spots etc removed by Dr Khan at Aesthetics International. Although he is a plastic surgeon, not dermatologist, but I do believe he has mole mapping machines. Ive seen someone who was butchered here by a dermatologist removing a mole. If you are concerned about having a nice neat scar I would definately recommend Dr Khan. Check out their website :-)

Maybe you could try the compounding pharmacy in Healthcare City. Not sure they could help but might be worth a try :-)

I have just collected my prescription from them today. They gave me a few info sheets which state: "All bioidentical hormones are being compounded in our pharmacy by a licensed compounding pharmacist only" And I know my prescription went directly to them from my doctor last Thursday and they contacted me today to tell me they were ready.

Hi, Yes I have been, just a new client of theirs and so far so good. They are more of an anti-aging clinic but do have a bio-identical hormone program. I think a consultation with them is 750 dirhams, but if you decide to go ahead with one of their programs they are quite expensive, although I believe some things can get covered by insurance.

Dr Khan is an excellent plastic surgeon and he will be able to remove the mole and send it for testing, but just so you know he is not a dermatologist.

I had this done about 2 years ago but sorry don't remember which company. From memory it may have been whoever is the Bridgestone dealer (even though I didn't get Bridgestone tyres). I can try and find the receipt if I still have it :-) They were fab by the way, they had a van all loaded up with all the equipement needed.

Hi, can someone also clarify something for me? I too have a maid and her visa expires in Jan 2012 and I don't want to renew. Does she get 1 month to find new employment from the day we cancel the visa (regardless of what date it expires)? E.g. say her visa expires on the 10th and I cancel it on the 8th, is she good until the 8th of the next month? Thanks ladies :-)
