Loved by Huda and Mona Kattan, Lindsay Lohan, Naomi Campbell, and many more, Lucia Clinic is the spot to go to for all your aesthetic needs. Founded by internationally renowned dermatologist and anti-aging specialist Dr Radmila Lukian, Lucia uses only the highest quality products and latest equipment to ensure every visitor walks out of their picture-perfect space looking and feeling their best. After all, its name is derived from the word ‘luce’, meaning “light, shine, clear, bright, full of lightness.” Along with skin treatments, Lucia also offers body contouring and laser services, ensuring you get to cover all bases in one location.
Must-try: Lucia Clinic is the first clinic in the Middle East to offer patients the new EMFace treatment, a non-invasive toning procedure that targets both the facial skin and muscles simultaneously. EMFace works by sending synchronized RF and HIFES energies to the face through applicators that are stuck onto the patient’s face, encouraging facial muscles to move while naturally toning muscles and lifting contours. A perfectly snatched look, and no needles needed!
