Dubai Derma 2025 highlights importance of integrating mental, dermatological health

Dubai, April 15: The Dubai World Dermatology and Laser Conference and Exhibition - Dubai Derma 2025 - continued its activities on the second day at the Dubai World Trade Centre, with the participation of a distinguished group of doctors, experts, and leading global companies specialising in dermatology, skincare, and laser technologies, showcasing the latest treatments and technologies.

Dubai Derma is the largest event of its kind in the world and reflects the UAE's commitment to supporting the healthcare sector and enhancing its position as a leading medical destination.

This year's edition witnessed the launch of the CINE FIKR DERMA initiative, the first educational-entertainment programme integrating psychiatry and dermatology through an interactive cinematic approach to highlight the relationship between mental health and skin diseases.

Alia Galadari, Consultant Dermatologist at Dubai Health, emphasised the importance of the initiative in enhancing the understanding of the psychological impact on the skin and integrating medical specialties to serve patients holistically.

The conference also discussed on its second day the latest developments in the treatment of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, alongside scientific sessions and workshops offering practical training on the latest products and technologies.

The event also dedicates the "Derma Business Hub" platform for pre-arranged business meetings between companies and buyers, enhancing opportunities for investment and collaboration in the sector.

The conference continues until tomorrow, organised by INDEX Conferences and Exhibitions, in partnership with several specialised dermatology associations at both the Arab and Gulf levels. (ANI/WAM)

As someone with psoriasis, I really appreciate events like this that bring attention to chronic skin conditions. The psychological impact is often overlooked by doctors.

While I applaud the initiative, I wish there was more focus on affordable treatment options. Many of these cutting-edge technologies remain inaccessible to average patients.

As a dermatology resident, I find these conferences invaluable. The workshops on new technologies help bridge the gap between research and clinical practice.
