The beauty and wellness scene in Dubai just got a Hollywood upgrade. One of my longtime favorite spots, Valiant Clinic, has officially introduced the Beverly Hills Sunset Surgery Centre International (BHSSCI) to the city. For the launch, they flew in none other than Dr. Andrew Ordon—Emmy Award–winning host of The Doctors—alongside Dr. David Matlock, the celebrity surgeon made famous on Dr. 90210. Both are set to return throughout the year, but the clinic also has its own Dubai-based star, Dr. Silvian, who comes highly recommended for non-invasive procedures.
Ahead of the launch, I gathered your top questions from Instagram, and the doctors were kind enough to share their insights on everything from stretch marks to the newest skin-tightening treatments. Here’s what I learned.
Stretch Marks: What Really Works?
Stretch marks are one of the most common concerns, and while there’s no magic eraser, there are treatments that can help. The doctors explained that stretch marks are essentially scars in the dermis, which makes them tricky to treat. While massage-based therapies and Cellfina can sometimes create temporary improvements, more significant results usually come from skin-tightening procedures. Think along the lines of abdominoplasty or breast augmentation with lifting.
Fractional CO2 laser can also be effective, but it may not be suitable for those with olive or darker skin tones due to pigmentation risks. The bottom line? While improvement is possible, perfection isn’t—and setting realistic expectations is key.
Hollywood’s Most Requested Treatments
When it comes to beauty trends in Hollywood, the top three procedures are:
- Mini facelifts with fat transfer to the face – a subtler approach to rejuvenation that avoids the “pulled” look.
- High-Def VASER liposuction – a body contouring technique that sculpts and defines.
- Fat transfer – especially to the face, butt, and breasts for a more youthful or enhanced shape.
These reflect the growing demand for natural-looking results that enhance rather than completely transform.
Alternatives to a Traditional Facelift
Not everyone is ready—or willing—to undergo major surgery. Luckily, BHSSCI offers alternatives to the traditional facelift. Options include:
- High-Def VASER tightening to firm and sculpt.
- Fat transfer to the face to restore volume lost with age.
- PROFOUND skin tightening, a non-invasive treatment that stimulates collagen and elastin for long-term improvement.
For anyone looking to refresh without downtime, these are fantastic middle-ground options.
Subtle Enhancements: The Modern Butt Lift
The phrase “butt lift” often brings to mind dramatic results, but there are ways to achieve subtle, natural-looking enhancements. The doctors recommend High-Def VASER tightening paired with low-volume fat transfer. The combination delivers lift and shape without going over the top—ideal if you’re after refinement rather than transformation.
The Best Preventatives for Ageing
No matter how advanced treatments become, prevention remains the best medicine. Their advice?
- Live a healthy lifestyle.
- Stay out of the sun (or at least wear SPF religiously).
- Stick to a consistent, effective skincare routine.
Simple habits really do make the biggest difference in slowing visible signs of ageing.
The Treatments to Watch
If you’re wondering what’s next in aesthetics, the buzz is around two treatments:
- PROFOUND – a non-invasive skin-tightening treatment that’s quickly gaining popularity.
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections – known for rejuvenating the skin, improving texture, and giving that coveted glow.
Both are already generating excitement for their effectiveness without the need for major surgery.
How to Choose the Right Surgeon
Perhaps the most important question of all: how do you choose the right surgeon? According to the experts, it comes down to doing your homework. Look for:
- Proper credentials and training.
- Significant experience in the specific procedure you’re considering.
- Before-and-after photos of real patients.
- A level of comfort and trust when you meet in consultation.
The decision should never be rushed—feeling confident and safe with your surgeon is just as important as the procedure itself.
Final Thoughts
The arrival of BHSSCI in Dubai brings a slice of Beverly Hills glamour to the Middle East, but beyond the star power, what impressed me most was the balanced approach. From subtle butt lifts to non-invasive facelifts, the emphasis is on natural, safe, and personalized results.
What struck me most during these conversations is that while new technologies and procedures are exciting, the foundation of beauty still lies in the basics: protecting your skin, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and making thoughtful choices about who you trust with your treatments.
So whether you’re curious about the latest Hollywood trends or simply want to explore small, non-invasive tweaks, the future of aesthetics looks bright—and now, much closer to home.
