THE QUICK ANSWER
About Arfah Owais , in one paragraph
Arfah Owais is a DHA-licensed aesthetician at Vedara Care Polyclinic in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Dubai — the clinic is walking distance from Circle Mall, three minutes from FIVE Jumeirah Village Hotel, and five minutes from JSS Private School. She holds a CIBTAC-UK diploma (the Confederation of International Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology, a UK gold-standard awarding body), NCLC certification, and PMU certification. Eight-plus years of hands-on clinical experience. Her practice focuses on advanced facial rejuvenation and skin renewal (HydraFacial, Oxy-Geneo, microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, customised anti-aging protocols), regenerative treatments delivered under physician supervision (exosome skin rejuvenation, mesotherapy, PRP facial), advanced device-based treatments (HIFU for skin lifting, RF skin tightening, RF microneedling, carbon laser peel, laser skin rejuvenation and toning), and corrective skin treatments (pigmentation and melasma management, acne scar treatment, skin brightening, pore and texture refinement, early signs of aging). Every treatment begins with comprehensive skin analysis and personalised treatment planning — no upsell-driven package selection. Multi-language capability (Arabic, English, Hindi, Urdu). Beauty Therapy is one of Vedara Cares licensed specialties alongside Physiotherapy, Ayurvedic Medicine, Dermatology, General Practice, and Nursing. Realistic outcome framing throughout — individual results depend on skin type, condition, adherence to pre- and post-treatment protocols, and realistic session-count expectations.
Eight years of clinical practice — and the philosophy behind it.
Where the practice comes from
Arfah trained under the CIBTAC-UK framework — the Confederation of International Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology, one of the most rigorous international awarding bodies in aesthetic practice. CIBTAC diplomas are recognised across the UK, Europe, and internationally as evidence of proper clinical grounding rather than weekend-workshop certification. She holds NCLC certification alongside, and PMU certification for permanent makeup work. Her DHA licence sits on top of that international training — meaning she practices to both UK-standard clinical protocols and UAE regulatory requirements.Eight-plus years of practical clinic-floor experience matters here. Aesthetic treatment technique is one thing; recognising which treatment actually suits which skin, which patient benefits from which sequence, when to say no to a treatment a patient is asking for because it isn't right for their skin condition — those judgements only come from sustained hands-on experience across thousands of patient sessions. Arfah has that experience.
How she thinks about aesthetic treatment
Arfah's approach starts from a simple position: skin is highly individual, and treatment protocols should be too. What works for one patient's pigmentation won't work for another's; what suits one skin type for anti-aging will damage another. So every treatment programme starts with proper skin analysis — actual assessment of skin type, condition, sensitivity, current concerns, history, medications, previous treatments, and realistic goals. From that analysis comes a personalised protocol, not a package pulled off a menu.
She's honest about outcomes. Aesthetic treatments provide meaningful improvement within realistic parameters — they don't produce filter-level transformations, don't reverse decades of sun damage in one session. She'll tell patients honestly what a treatment can and cannot achieve, what the realistic session count looks like, and what home-care changes will support results.
Where she declines treatments
There are treatments Arfah will decline to perform even when patients request them — pregnant patients asking for treatments contraindicated in pregnancy, patients with active skin conditions requiring dermatological treatment before aesthetic work, patients whose skin history suggests a treatment would cause more harm than benefit. In each case she'll explain why and either recommend the appropriate alternative or refer to the on-site dermatologist for coordinated care. This is standard responsible practice — and it's part of why patients return over years.
The Vedara Care environment
Arfah practices at Vedara Care Polyclinic — a DHA-licensed multi-specialty clinic where Beauty Therapy is one of the licensed specialties alongside Physiotherapy, Ayurveda vertical (Dr. Zainab), Dermatology, General Practice, and Nursing. This matters practically: aesthetic services happen inside a proper medical clinic with proper hygiene protocols, proper physician oversight where required for injectable and energy-device treatments, and proper coordination pathways when a patient's skin condition needs dermatologist input.
Languages
Arabic, English, Hindi, and Urdu — Arfah consults comfortably in all four. Dubai's expatriate demographic means most aesthetic consultations happen across a language mix; being able to explain treatment options, discuss skin history, and describe protocols in a patient's first language changes the quality of the consultation and the accuracy of the treatment plan.
"Skin is individual. Treatment protocols should be too. Every programme starts with proper analysis — not a package pulled off a menu."
What Arfah practices at Vedara Care JVC.
Grouped by category. Each treatment links to a full protocol page with pricing, session count, contraindications, and realistic outcome framing.
Advanced Aesthetic & Facial Rejuvenation
The signature facial work — where clinic protocols meet real technical technique. Advanced facials aren't about layering products; they're about understanding what the skin needs on that particular day and delivering the exfoliation, hydration, brightening, or resurfacing sequence that actually addresses it.
HydraFacial
Multi-step medical-grade facial: cleanse, exfoliate, extract, hydrate. Suits most skin types.
Learn more →Oxy-Geneo Facial
Tri-effect facial: exfoliation, oxygenation, infusion of active nutrients.
Learn more →Dermaplaning
Precision blade-based physical exfoliation that removes fine facial vellus hair during exfoliation.
Learn more →Customised Anti-Aging & Skin-Firming Protocol
Sustained programme approach for age-related concerns.
Learn more →Advanced Regenerative Treatments
Regenerative treatments work with the skin's own repair mechanisms — introducing exosomes, plasma, or bioactive compounds to stimulate cellular renewal. These treatments involve injection or micro-injection and are delivered under physician supervision per DHA regulatory framework.
Exosome Skin Rejuvenation
Cellular-signalling molecules for skin regeneration and repair.
Learn more →PRP Facial (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Autologous plasma stimulating natural collagen and repair.
Learn more →Advanced Device-Based Treatments
Energy-device treatments deliver measurable structural changes to skin — collagen stimulation, tissue tightening, pigmentation clearance, texture refinement. These require both proper device technique and proper judgement about who is a candidate and who isn't. Delivered under physician supervision where DHA framework requires it.
HIFU Skin Lifting & Tightening
High-intensity focused ultrasound for non-surgical lifting.
Learn more →Corrective Skin Treatments
Corrective work targets specific skin conditions — pigmentation, acne scarring, textural issues, early aging signs. These are typically multi-session programmes with realistic timelines. Coordination with the on-site dermatologist happens where a condition needs medical management alongside aesthetic protocols.
Skin Brightening & Complexion Refinement
Programme approach to overall complexion improvement.
Learn more →Pore & Skin Texture Refinement
Targeted programmes for enlarged pores and textural irregularity.
Learn more →Early Signs of Aging Prevention
Prevention-focused programmes for the 30s-40s demographic.
Learn more →Professional Skin Management
The foundation layer. Every treatment starts here — proper analysis, proper planning, proper pre- and post-treatment guidance. Without this foundation, individual treatments are guesswork.
Comprehensive Skin Analysis
Full assessment: skin type, condition, sensitivity, history, goals.

Not the full menu — the ones that draw patients from across Dubai.
HydraFacial
The multi-step medical-grade facial that has become one of the most requested treatments globally. Deep-cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities from pores, then flood the skin with hydrating and antioxidant serums. Suits nearly all skin types. Real, visible results after single session — better with programme.
HIFU Skin Lifting
High-intensity focused ultrasound that reaches deep into skin structure to stimulate collagen and provide non-surgical lifting effect. Popular with the 40s–50s demographic wanting jawline and mid-face lift without surgical intervention. Results build gradually over months.
Carbon Laser Peel
Widely known as the "Hollywood Peel" — carbon paste applied then laser-activated to exfoliate, tighten pores, and brighten skin. Same-day glow, cumulative improvement over sessions. Photograph-friendly result common the day after.
Pigmentation & Melasma Management
Dubai's climate and demographic mix mean pigmentation and melasma are among the most common presenting concerns. Multi-modal approach — proper analysis (Wood's lamp assessment where indicated), sequenced treatment protocol, realistic timeline framing. Coordination with dermatologist for melasma cases requiring medical management.
RF Microneedling
Combines radiofrequency energy with controlled microneedling for skin resurfacing, remodelling, and acne scar treatment. One of the most versatile modern aesthetic technologies. Popular for patients wanting substantial improvement without laser downtime.
Acne Scar Treatment
Programme approach combining RF microneedling, laser modalities, and targeted topical protocols for atrophic acne scarring. Realistic framing: substantial improvement over sustained programme, not complete erasure. Coordination with dermatologist for active acne requiring medical management before scar work.
The credentials behind the practice.
Aesthetic practice is unregulated in many markets — anyone with a weekend workshop can call themselves an aesthetician. Dubai's DHA framework requires verifiable qualifications, and Arfah's credentials sit above that baseline.
DHA (Dubai Health Authority) Licensed Aesthetician
Issued by Dubai Health Authority, UAE
The regulatory requirement for aesthetic practice in Dubai. DHA licensing means Arfah's credentials have been verified by UAE health authorities, her scope of practice is defined, and she operates under UAE clinical governance framework. Non-negotiable baseline.
CIBTAC-UK Diploma
Issued by Confederation of International Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology, United Kingdom
CIBTAC diplomas are recognised internationally as gold-standard aesthetician qualifications. UK-based awarding body with rigorous examination framework covering anatomy, physiology, skin science, treatment technique, contraindications, and clinical protocols. Not a weekend workshop or certificate mill.
NCLC Certification
Nail and Cosmetology Licensing Certification
Recognised licensing framework covering nail care and cosmetology practice standards. Foundational qualification confirming baseline competency across the wider aesthetic and cosmetology practice scope.
PMU (Permanent Makeup) Certified
Permanent Makeup certification
Certification for permanent makeup work including brow microblading, ombré powder brows, lip blush, and eyeliner PMU. PMU services deferred pending clinic commercial decision — certification held and available should PMU be added to Vedara Care's aesthetic menu.
Verification: DHA licence details available on request or via DHA public verification portal. CIBTAC-UK diploma verifiable via the CIBTAC alumni verification system. All credentials current.
What actually happens when you book with Arfah.
No mystery. Here's the sequence - from booking through follow - up.
Booking and Pre-Consultation Prep
Book by phone, WhatsApp, or website. You'll get a brief pre-consultation form covering skin history, current concerns, medications, allergies, previous aesthetic treatments, and what you're hoping to achieve. Reading this before your visit means Arfah's not asking basic questions on the day — the consultation goes straight to the substantive discussion.
Comprehensive Skin Analysis (in-clinic)
Around 30–45 minutes. Arfah assesses skin type, current condition, sensitivity, textural concerns, pigmentation patterns, elasticity, hydration, and any specific concerns you've raised. Where useful, this includes Wood's lamp assessment for pigmentation depth, skin scanner assessment for hydration and texture mapping. This is proper analysis — not 'look at the skin for two minutes then recommend the platinum package'.
Personalised Treatment Plan Discussion
Once analysis is done, Arfah discusses what she's finding and what the appropriate treatment options actually are for your specific skin. This includes honest framing: what a treatment will realistically achieve, what session count is genuinely needed, what the maintenance requirement looks like, what home-care changes will support results, and — when relevant — what treatments you're asking about that wouldn't suit your skin.
Treatment (if you proceed same-visit)
Some treatments happen at the consultation visit (HydraFacial, dermaplaning, basic corrective work). Others need a separate treatment appointment (device-based treatments, injectable-supervised treatments, programme-format work). You'll leave the consultation with a clear written plan, pricing, and appointment sequence — nothing decided under pressure.
Follow-Up and Programme Continuity
For single treatments — check-in via WhatsApp 24–48 hours later, and again after two weeks. For programmes — scheduled follow-up consultations aligned with the treatment sequence, tracking progress, adjusting protocols where needed. Arfah is available for questions between appointments; that continuity matters for treatment adherence and outcome quality.
Transparent Pricing
Consultation and starting-price ranges for treatments Arfah practices.
Individual treatment pricing depends on skin analysis, protocol selection, and programme structure. Comprehensive skin analysis determines the appropriate protocol and honest pricing — no package sold at door.
All prices in AED. VAT included where applicable. Vedara Care operates on a reimbursement basis rather than direct billing. Aesthetic treatments are typically not covered by health insurance unless specifically indicated for a medical dermatological condition. Programme pricing offers better per-session value than single sessions.
Questions patients ask before booking with Arfah.
Short, honest answers. For a clinical recommendation specific to your skin situation, a proper consultation is the starting point. Cannot find what you are looking for? WhatsApp us — usually answered within 15 minutes.
