Botox in the UAE: how it works, what it costs, and what to ask
Last reviewed today · 8 min read · Independent
Botulinum toxin (sold as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and others) is a prescription injectable that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles - forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet[1].
Effects appear over 7-14 days and typically last 3-4 months[2]. In the UAE, prices range from AED 700-2,500 per area depending on units, area, and clinician seniority.
Practical context
Avoid direct sun and intense heat for 24 hours after injection - particularly relevant in hotter climates.
