Just yesterday I decided to finally move to that city. Right now I am reading reviews, looking for public places to visit. Some of them, unfortunately, are closed due to COVID. However, i do not lo...
Hi! Good luck with your move. We have been living here almost for 6 years now. We didn’t have a moving company since we sold all of our furniture and moved only with our personal stuff.

dropped my Samsung S5 and in spite of having a screen protector and phone cover the screen is now all grainy... phone is still working though coz i can still hear the whatsapp and sms pings but the actual screen is blank! anyone know of any trusted phone specialists in satwa etc that would be able to fix it back up? i feel so lost without my phone there is a place in al barsha just opposite to lulu supermarket and they have done my screen with the cheapest price comparing to others. I have paid only 200dhs for full iphone screen change while the others were asking 450-475dhs

Do you not have a friend with a decent camera who would come along and do this for you? No, unfortunately I don't have anyone here.

Thank you everyone for suggestions. I have found another doctor with a very good feedback from my country! He is in Dubai Cosmetic Surgery on Al Wasl Dr. Omer Refik Ozerdem and he applied the botox on my face 2 days before. He charged 1500 for forehead, frown and around eye (little bit for eyes) and he uses Allergan. He is associate professor doctor plastic surgeon and specialized on face surgeon. I got very good feedbacks about him and felt really comfortable and trust. I don't see any difference as it has been only 2 days but will definitely let you know about the result. Many thanks again!

Just be aware that it takes at least 1 week for the results of botox to be noticeable, so if you are getting married in 10 days, you may not see the result you want until after your wedding. I use Dr Imran Tahir at British Lasik Clinic and as Sarah has suggested, you should ideally go with a reconstructive surgeon, which Dr Imran is, who knows not to oversell you treatment you do not need and does not allow you to have the 'frozen' look, unless of course that's what you want. Again, like other reputable surgeons recommended on here, they are more expensive, but the trust I have in them makes this worth it. Thanks for the suggestion. My wedding is in 25 days so I was planning to do injection within this week to have a better look on the wedding day. I have also spoken to Dr. Imran today and he is also asking around 1800dhs although I don't really need that many injections. The only problem on my face just mimics and frown and last time they used only 4 injections... so it doesn't really make sense to pay 1800dhs for 4 injections. But...I think I will have to pay just because of trust issue! :(

Hello Ladies, Is there anyone who tried these groupon vouchers for botox? I only need few for my forehead and between my eyebrows. I am on my mid 20's just the main reason to stop doing my angry face mimics. I don't really prefer to pay 1800-2000 dhs only for few injections so looking for a cheaper option... They have vouchers for 599 for two areas... any feedback would be appreciated about the clinic. Thank you! Merve I cannot help with advice regarding the clinic as I have never heard of them I would ask what product they use and who is the person administering the injections ( Their qualifications etc) The two main and best Botox makes are Allegan and Dysport. I have used others and the result was not the best Personally speaking I would only use a reputable reconstructive trained surgeon however they are pricier which is what you are trying to avoid After having it done try and wait 12-18 months between using it as this gives the face time for muscles to grow back and results are better when you do it again Do as much homework on this place as you can as cheap botox can means weak or cheap product Good Luck! Thanks for the feedbacks! I have asked already and they are using Allergan products... the plastic surgeon is applying it but you never know you'll be completely FROZEN after that! I will also try to find the qualifications of the doctor. Where do you go for your own botox? I will also have an appointment with Dr. Juan from Dubai Cosmetic Surgery... The frozen look only occurs if you have it done far too often. I have never had the frozen, shiny forehead symptoms and any reputable surgeon will tell you that only happens through obsessive use. I use DR Allen Rezai and always have. He is pricier but he knows what looks good and wont recommend ( as many other do) other unnecessary and expensive procedures. He is European trained ( UK and Europe) and is a reconstructive specialist plus a lovely man to boot. I used to use DR Khan ( He is very good too) but waiting lists are long and costs are high I didn't start until I was 40 and have it done every 12-18 months I actually got the name of the doctor and found couple of negative comments - so will definitely cancel! DR Rezai and Dr Khan is not available it takes really long time for them to get the appointment and I need to finish it within next 10 days before my wedding. I think I will try Dr Juan at least there are positive comments about him when I search! Let's see what will happen. Many thanks for suggestions!

I agree around 1800 is the going rate for the decent clinics. You might be right but I dont have many wrinkles! I am only 26 and I am putting botox just because of I am doing too many mimics while I am talking. And I have angry face most of the times when it is too light outside.. I have done botox back in home and they did only 3-4 injections as my case is not really required too many injections. Do you think would I be paying the same amount for only few injections? Thank you!
