Encouraged by the success of its main Centre on Al Wasl Road, Cocoona Centre for Aesthetic Transformation, a clinic specializing in plastic, cosmetic, dental, orthopedic, weight loss, hair transplant, dermatology and dietary services, has announced the launch of its new Centre at Jumeirah Lake Towers [JLT], located in Cluster M, Lake Level,

 

The new centre is Cocoona’s second in Dubai and reflects the growing popularity of its aesthetic treatments and consultations for plastic surgery, ultra-advanced equipment, state-of-the-art facilities and futuristic procedures at its centre on Al Wasl Road. The Centre boasts of the latest and brand new aesthetic machines and non-surgical body slimming among other procedures done under extreme care and supervision. The new Centre is open from 11am to 8pm, Saturday through Thursday.

 

To coincide with the launch, Cocoona also announced a special XpressTox service for VIP customers. Essentially, it will guarantee an appointment with a specialist doctor for anti-ageing or fillers treatment on the same day. The service is paid, however and the nominal fee of AED 100 per patient is levied to ensure the preferential service is not misused. However, we will not be charging the fee till Jul 31, in honour of Ramadan and EID.

 

Dr Sanjay Parashar, CEO and Consultant Plastic Surgeon at Cocoona Centre for Aesthetic Transformation, said: “My dream is to make Dubai the LA of the Middle East. Over the last seven years, our focus has been to lay a strong foundation of a great aesthetic centre which is on par and above the clinics in LA. I think, we have achieved and successfully demonstrated that with our Centre on Al Wasl Road. It’s time now to take the concept closer to customers. Our new branch will effectively cater to the growing aesthetic healthcare needs of residents in the new Dubai area, within the JLT neighbourhood as also the villa communities in Jumeirah Village Triangle and adjacent areas.”

 

Commenting at the launch, Dr Sanjeev Deshpande, Specialist Plastic Surgeon and Medical Director at the JLT Centre added: ‘XpressTox is a VIP appointment service, catering to customers who are looking for a last minute appointment. , In the past, we were able to accommodate a few last-minute requests a week, but today it is becoming impossible. The volume of these requests have increased significantly. However to overcome this challenge and ensure that we are able to cater to customers who have a genuine last minute need – we have introduced a paid VIP service called - XpressTox.”

 

The launch of the new branch comes amidst surging trends in the demand for plastic surgery in Dubai and across the region. According to industry estimates, the number of plastic surgeons per capita in Dubai is among the highest in the world. Dubai Health Authority, the Emirate is aiming to attract about half a million medical tourists per year by 2020, which could benefit its economy by up to AED 2.6 billion

Dr. Sanjay Parashar added, ‘I have worked and lived in Australia, America, Middle East and Asia. One thing that I took from these great nations and institutions was Quality. In our quest to establish a good aesthetic clinic, our emphasis has been on the Quality of Service. That is what differentiates us. Indeed at a Medical Centre, nothing should be more important than Quality. Compromising on quality – means compromising patient safety and risking his or her life.’
