Before your appointment
Before Fillers in Dubai: Prepare Your Medical History
A medical-history review before fillers in Dubai is part of treatment selection, not a formality. Small details can change the product choice, timing or recommendation. Prepare a clear list and disclose uncertainty; the clinician needs the whole picture rather than only the conditions you think affect your appearance.
General information for adults. Not a substitute for medical assessment.
List prescribed and non-prescribed products
Include regular prescriptions, occasional pain medicines, vitamins, herbal remedies and supplements. Record what you take and why, and bring packaging or an up-to-date list. Tell the clinician about medicines affecting bleeding and any recent changes. Do not stop a prescription because a generic preparation checklist suggests it; changes need agreement with the prescribing clinician.

Explain reactions, not just allergy labels
Describe what happened during previous allergic reactions, including problems with local anaesthetics, and whether emergency treatment was needed. Mention bleeding disorders, heart conditions, a tendency to excessive scarring and conditions affecting healing. Share pregnancy or breastfeeding status. These details do not let an article determine eligibility; they help the clinician make an individual decision.

Build a timeline of facial procedures
List fillers, implants, threads, operations and other cosmetic treatments, with dates and areas where possible. Bring old product records and mention past lumps, infections or prolonged swelling. Tell the clinician if the product is unknown. Prior treatment remains relevant even when the visible effect has faded; guessing that all material has disappeared can make the assessment less reliable.

Report what is happening now
Mention cold-sore history, a current breakout, rash, wound or infection near the proposed area, and recent dental work or illness. Active inflammation or infection may require postponement rather than a smaller injection plan. Ask what needs treatment first and how reassessment will be arranged. A booking deposit should not decide whether proceeding is medically appropriate.

Common questions
Must I mention a supplement I only take occasionally?
Yes. Include occasional and recently stopped products, not just daily prescriptions. The clinician can decide which details matter; leaving them off the list removes that opportunity.
Should I cancel without asking if I have a cold sore?
Contact the treating team before attending and describe the symptoms. They can decide whether assessment or postponement is required and discuss a prevention plan for future treatment when appropriate.
Is the booking form enough?
It is a starting point, not a substitute for discussion. Correct omissions during consultation and confirm that new medicines, symptoms or pregnancy status are reviewed before consent and injection.
Sources and information limits
Sources support general medical principles, not the UAE booking policies or service availability. Confirm instructions and local arrangements with the care provider. The update date does not claim clinician review.
Content policy and review statusQuestions before arranging an appointment?
Enquire about the next steps and availability. An enquiry does not confirm a booking or diagnosis and is not an emergency service.
