The short answer
A face menu lists treatments by name. If you arrived with an occasion instead, something on Thursday or skin that has gone flat, the names are not much help on their own.
Across the three UNIQUE PERSONA salons the face list runs from AED 200 to AED 2,000. The one treatment priced identically at all three, and the one that covers the widest range of those occasions, is the Signature HydraFacial at AED 800 at Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah. Prices are listed before VAT, with 5% added to the final bill.
The sections below are arranged by the occasion rather than by the equipment.
Which facial before an event?
The constraint before an event is downtime rather than effect. A treatment that leaves skin flaking needs clear days afterwards for the flaking to finish, and when the date is Thursday there may not be any.
The Signature HydraFacial is built for exactly this. There is no recovery period and no flaking or peeling phase to work around, so it fits an appointment close to something that matters. Make-up and the rest of your day are fine straight afterwards. It works as an express glow before an event or a shoot.
It is AED 800 at all three salons, so the branch you choose is a question of which one you can reach rather than what it costs.
The same protocol runs up the menu if you want more than that. Deluxe is AED 1,000 and the top tier AED 1,300, listed as JLO at Downtown Dubai, Platinum at Dubai Marina and Platinum with the JLO booster at Palm Jumeirah. Perk eye and Perk lip are AED 400 each at all three.
Which facial for dull skin?
Dull is a word people use for several different things, and the Signature HydraFacial is a strong choice for four of them: enlarged pores, dullness, dehydration and uneven tone. That is a narrower indication than a general freshening, and it is the reason this is the answer to the question rather than a default.
The sequence is mechanical. A gentle acid resurfacing lifts dead cells, a vacuum tip draws blackheads and sebum out of the pores without anything being squeezed, and serums carrying hyaluronic acid, peptides and antioxidants go in as the same tip passes across. Skin looks clearer and fresher straight after, without redness or flaking.
Two add-ons attach to that protocol at Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah: LED light therapy at AED 300 and lymphatic therapy at AED 400. LED also appears on its own elsewhere on the lists, at AED 200, on all three.
Which facial if it is your first one?
Two things make a first appointment go well, and neither is the treatment you pick.
The first is that somebody looks at your skin before anything is switched on. A Signature HydraFacial opens with an assessment of skin type, pore condition, dehydration and sensitivity, and the peel strength and serums are set from what it finds. A session that starts with the machine has skipped that step.
The second is that the intensity can be dialled down. It suits almost every skin type, sensitive included, because the peel strength and serum mix are chosen for you rather than fixed. That adjustability is what makes it a reasonable first appointment.
Say what you are worried about before you sit down, including any prescription you are on. The intensity is set at the start of the appointment, on what you tell them as well as what they can see.
How often should you have one?
Every three to four weeks, in step with the skin's renewal cycle. The exact frequency is set around the condition of your skin and what you are treating.
That rhythm is worth knowing before the first appointment rather than after it. A three to four week interval is a different commitment from a single visit, and a different annual figure.
What does a facial cost in Dubai?
The face menu starts at AED 200 and reaches AED 2,000, a spread wide enough that the word facial on its own tells you little about the figure.
| Treatment | Price | Where |
|---|---|---|
| LED therapy | AED 200 | All three |
| Classic face massage, 30 min | AED 290 | Marina, Palm |
| Classic face massage, 50 min | AED 340 | Marina, Palm |
| Perk eye or Perk lip | AED 400 | All three |
| Dermadrop protocols | AED 600 | Palm Jumeirah |
| Signature HydraFacial | AED 800 | All three |
| Deluxe HydraFacial | AED 1,000 | All three |
| Top tier HydraFacial | AED 1,300 | All three |
| Keravive, scalp | AED 1,500 | All three |
Prices are listed before VAT. Five per cent goes on the final bill, so an AED 800 Signature reaches AED 840 at the till.
If what you are after is the top of the menu rather than the middle of it, the answer is not one treatment. The top tier HydraFacial is AED 1,300 at all three salons. Dubai Marina carries Total Lift for face, neck and décolleté at AED 1,500 and a Persona Signature microneedling at AED 1,200. Keravive runs to AED 1,500, and Downtown Dubai lists a two vial version at AED 2,000. The final figure depends on the protocol and any boosters added, which is settled at booking rather than on the list.
When to wait, and when it is a doctor's question
A facial is the wrong appointment on some days, and that list is short and specific. Active inflammation, an acne or rosacea flare, or broken skin in the treatment area all mean postponing rather than adjusting.
The line worth being clear about is acne. For mild breakouts and congested pores a HydraFacial helps clear the pores and even out the skin. Active inflammatory acne is a medical problem and needs a dermatologist first.
If you are already under a dermatologist's care, agree the plan with them before booking. A HydraFacial complements medical treatment and does not replace it. The same boundary runs through the rest of the menu and is drawn most clearly around lymphatic drainage massage, where a salon treatment and a medical one sit close together.
Where to book in Dubai
The face menu is on the face services page. HydraFacial is priced identically at all three salons, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, so for that one the branch is a matter of convenience.
Two treatments have their own posts. What a HydraFacial actually does covers the device, the tiers and the add-ons in full. If what you want is cleansing specifically, the cleansing facials are compared separately, including which branch has which and what each one costs.
Frequently asked questions
Which facial is best before an event?
The Signature HydraFacial, AED 800 at all three salons. There is no recovery period and no flaking phase to schedule around, so it can sit close to the date, and make-up is fine straight afterwards.
Which facial helps dull skin?
The Signature HydraFacial is indicated for dullness along with enlarged pores, dehydration and uneven tone. Skin looks clearer and fresher straight after the session.
What does a facial cost in Dubai?
The face menu runs from AED 200 to AED 2,000 across the three salons. The Signature HydraFacial is AED 800 everywhere, Deluxe AED 1,000 and the top tier AED 1,300. All figures are before VAT, with 5% added to the final bill.
What is the most expensive facial on the menu?
Keravive for the scalp at AED 1,500, and AED 2,000 for the two vial version at Downtown Dubai. On the face itself the top tier HydraFacial is AED 1,300, and Dubai Marina lists Total Lift for face, neck and décolleté at AED 1,500.
How often should I have a facial?
Every three to four weeks, in step with the skin's renewal cycle. The exact interval is set around your skin and what you are treating.
Which branch should I book?
For a HydraFacial, whichever is nearest, because the price is the same at all three. Palm Jumeirah carries the Dermadrop protocols at AED 600 and Dubai Marina the widest aesthetic list, so a specific treatment can decide it instead.
In short
If the question is an occasion rather than a treatment, the Signature HydraFacial answers the ones above: AED 800 at Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, indicated for dullness, dehydration, uneven tone and enlarged pores, with no downtime and no peeling phase to plan around. Every three to four weeks is the rhythm if it becomes a habit rather than a one off.
Whatever you end up booking should open with somebody looking at your skin and setting the intensity from what they find. If it opens with the machine, the choice you made outside stopped mattering at the door.
