Dubai Derma returns for its 25th edition on 8–10 September 2026 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, and remains the leading scientific skincare event for the Middle East, North Africa and the Indian Subcontinent. The event attracts more than 25,000 visitors and close to 1,900 international brands, combining a large scientific conference with one of the region's biggest dermatology and aesthetics trade exhibitions.
The conference programme is the scientific core of the event, offering continuous learning and best-practice exchange across medical dermatology, laser medicine and aesthetics. Sessions run across parallel halls over the three days, covering inflammatory skin disease, pigmentary disorders, hair and nail disease, paediatric dermatology, dermatosurgery, energy-based devices, injectables and regenerative approaches. The faculty is drawn internationally, and the format is designed so that clinicians can move between the strictly medical and the aesthetic content depending on their practice profile.
Two intensive educational courses run alongside the main programme: the AADA Fellowship Course and a Pre-Conference Course, both built around specialised scientific sessions delivered by invited experts. These are ticketed separately and typically fill early.
The exhibition is a business platform in its own right, described by the organisers as the gateway to the MENA and Indian Subcontinent markets. Pharmaceutical companies, device manufacturers, cosmeceutical brands and clinic suppliers exhibit across the DWTC halls, and a Derma Business Hub programme facilitates structured meetings between buyers, distributors and manufacturers.
Free visitor passes are available for the exhibition, while conference attendance is separately registered. Brand activities, the exhibitor list, the full agenda and travel guidance for international delegates are published on the official Dubai Derma website.
