Dubai Derma 2025 - Report

Recently, I attended the Dubai Derma 2025 exhibition, and honestly, I'm still in awe. The event took place from April 14 to 16 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, gathering specialists from around the world — dermatologists, cosmetologists, equipment manufacturers, clinics, and brands. It's said that there were over 25,000 participants from 114 countries, and you could feel it in the atmosphere: a multitude of languages filled the pavilions, life was bustling everywhere, and demonstrations, discussions, and presentations were happening constantly.

What I particularly liked was the incredible emphasis on technology. Almost every booth showcased some innovations: state-of-the-art lasers, non-invasive lifting devices, and AI tools for diagnosing skin diseases. We are even considering implementing a couple of solutions ourselves. For example, a system that helps doctors recognize different forms of acne and rosacea faster and more accurately. I also remember a line of new generation peptide products — the manufacturer claims they provide effects similar to injections, but with topical application. I’ll have to check it out.

The educational part was also very strong. The program included over 300 lectures and dozens of workshops. I attended several sessions discussing the connections between skin condition and psycho-emotional background. The idea that good dermatology is not just about the skin, but also about the person as a whole is being voiced more and more. Such topics resonate, especially when you work with aesthetics, where appearance directly affects self-esteem.

I was pleased with the number of Russian and European participants. Many clinics from the CIS actively participated, shared case studies, and talked about their protocols. It was nice to see that we are also in the loop and not lagging behind global trends.

And of course, the business part: according to various sources, deals worth around 2.5 billion dirhams were made at the exhibition. This is easy to believe, considering how many brands and distributors were discussing partnerships right on the spot. I myself had several productive meetings, which I hope will soon lead to interesting projects.

Overall, Dubai Derma left me with the feeling that the industry is not just developing — it is growing rapidly, changing, and demanding the same quick response from us. If there is a desire to keep up with the times and understand where dermatology and aesthetics are heading, such events are definitely ones not to be missed.
