DUBAI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM – 10th Sep, 2026) The 25th edition of the
Dubai World Dermatology and Laser Conference and Exhibition (Dubai Derma 2026) concluded today at Dubai World Trade Centre, recording direct and indirect business deals exceeding AED2.6 billion.
Over three days, Dubai Derma welcomed more than 25,000 visitors from 115 countries and featured more than 340 speakers and over 400 exhibitors representing more than 1,800 international brands.
The event combined scientific exchange, case-based learning, and practical training with an international exhibition serving the dermatology, aesthetics, and laser sectors.
Amb. Prof. Abdulsalam AlMadani, Chairman of Dubai Derma and Roving Ambassador of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM) for the GCC Region, stated:
“The direct and indirect deals valued at AED2.6 billion are not merely a figure; they are a clear indication of the confidence that Dubai Derma has built in global markets and of the role it now plays in driving growth and investment opportunities across the dermatology and aesthetics sector.”
He further added:
“At Dubai Derma, meetings do not end when the event concludes; they evolve into meaningful partnerships and agreements that open new markets, encourage business expansion, and bring together expertise, innovation, and capital within a single ecosystem. This is what we continue to build year after year: a global platform rooted in Dubai, where economic and professional relationships are forged to create lasting value and impact for the future.”
The final day addressed a broad range of clinical priorities, including the impact of climate change on dermatological diseases, advances in the treatment of vitiligo, alopecia, acne, and psoriasis, as well as the diagnosis and management of allergies, eczema, and infectious skin diseases.
Sessions also examined dermoscopy findings in richly pigmented skin, new approaches to difficult dermatological cases, and the growing role of artificial intelligence in diagnosis and clinical decision-making. Discussions on emerging and established therapies considered their evidence, safety, and practical use in patient care.
A dedicated Skin of Colour Session explored pattern-based approaches to inflammatory skin diseases, the relationship between skin, identity, and aesthetic interventions, and the growing clinical challenge presented by Tinea indotineae. The session highlighted the importance of ensuring that dermatological research, diagnosis, and treatment reflect the needs of patients across different skin types and geographical regions.
Dr Ayesha Akinkugbe, MD, Associate Professor, and Consultant Dermato-venereologist from Nigeria, expressed her satisfaction:
“I am pleased to have been part of Dubai Derma 2026, a unique platform that brings together global and regional expertise, innovations, and the latest advancements in dermatology.”
