The Best Dermatologist in Khobar, Saudi Arabia

The Challenge: To look for the best Dermatologist for a laser treatment

I miss blogging! Its been more than a month now of not being able to at least open my blog as I've been busy looking for a new job and a new home to move into and so many other stuffs (whew!). I'm happy to be back to the travel industry. Working for a new company definitely needs extreme beautification and a new approach to style to start anew and fresh.

I thought of undergoing a laser treatment for the second time around and Botox (yes! you heard it right!) this Eid Holiday. But the question was, where? I had my first laser treatment (Fraxel) with Dossary Hospital in Khobar. It was affordable at the cost of SR 500/session but the result wasn't what I expected it to be.

I've been very prone to having pimples and acne since high school and had breakouts in my first year in the kingdom. With so many dermatologists I have visited, only Elite Derma Care at Layla Onaizi Polyclinic was able to treat it. I may be enjoying a life of being pimple free after the treatment but I continue to struggle being conscious with the way I look with my acne scars. So this is when I decided to go through laser skin resurfacing.

For those who doesn't know, laser skin resurfacing also known as laser peel or laser vaporization and lasabrasion reduces and improves the appearance of wrinkles, scars and blemishes using beams of lights and Elite Derma Care, Layla Onaizi Polyclinic is definitely the place to go if you want to undergo such kind of treatment with their reputed resident dermatologist Dr. Saad Al Sogair.

There is more to this good looks (hehe! cant help it). Consultant Dermatologist, Dr. Saad Al Sogair,

 a Board certified Dermatologist and active speaking member of multiple international Aesthetic and Anti Aging societies and academies. Including the Saudi Society of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery, the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine and the American Academy of Anti Aging Medicine. Dr. Sogair has quickly established himself as an expert in Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine and he is especially knowledgeable about Anti Aging practices and Preventative Medicine. 

Since obtaining his M.B.B.S. in 2003 he has attended over 20 training courses throughout Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Lebanon and as far away as the U.K., South Korea and the United States. These courses have covered every aspect of modern Dermatology including facial rejuvenation procedures, laser treatments, aesthetic dermatology and hair transplant procedures. In addition, he is viewed as a leading expert in the field of Dermatology and has been asked to speak and present at seminars and conferences throughout the world.

Dr. Sogair specializes in a wide variety of Dermatological practice areas including skin rejuvenation, laser resurfacing, BOTOX injections, soft tissue augmentation, skin peels, body contouring, acne treatment, hair removal, tattoo removal and the treatment of pigmented lesions, leg thread veins and vascular lesions as well as hair transplantation.

He takes pride in the quality care provided in his clinic; Elite Derma Care, where he currently resides in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia.

Here are some photos of the whole process of the Laser Skin Resurfacing.

On the first day, skin is red and swollen. It is advised to put an ice on the treated area. You will be prescribed with antibiotics and some creams.

On the fourth day, skin started to peel. Try to avoid sun exposure as much as possible.

On the fifth day, The old skin is almost gone.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the service.

Beso!
