Updated: Sep 9
[LIVE from Dubai] Dubai Derma 2026
Experience ChoiceDx AI Skin · Scalp · Hair Analysis in Dubai
In Dubai, UAE, dermatologists, aesthetic medicine professionals, laser and hair specialists, and global buyers from around the world are gathering in one place.
This is Dubai Derma 2026, taking place from September 8–10, 2026 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
Celebrating its 25th edition this year, Dubai Derma is one of the leading professional Dermatology & Laser events connecting the Middle East, Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, and the broader global market.
This year’s event brings together more than 400 exhibiting companies and over 1,800 global brands from 115 countries, with more than 25,000 professional visitors expected. In particular, the Republic of Korea has been announced as the country with the largest national participation this year.
At this global medical and beauty event, ChoiceDx is introducing medical professionals and international buyers to an AI-powered Skin · Scalp · Hair Analysis experience.
Why AI Skin Analysis at Dubai Derma?
Dubai Derma is far more than a cosmetics exhibition.
It is a professional event designed for dermatologists, aesthetic and laser specialists, medical institution representatives, and industry participants. This year’s scientific program includes more than 340 international and regional experts, over 70 specialized sessions, and more than 350 lectures.
As technology advances across dermatology and aesthetic medicine, one question is becoming increasingly important in the relationship between professionals and clients:
“How can we help clients understand their current skin condition and begin a more meaningful consultation?”
Professionals may be able to interpret the skin through their expertise, but invisible or subtle skin conditions and changes can be difficult for clients to understand on their own.
This is where ChoiceDx begins.
Capture → Analyze → Visualize → Review the results together.
The role of AI is not to replace professionals, but to help professionals and consultation clients share and understand the same information more easily.
How ChoiceDx Supports the Consultation Journey in Clinics
ChoiceDx is an Analysis Solution that captures skin, scalp, and hair conditions and visualizes AI-powered analysis results.
Depending on the solution configuration, skin analysis can include various parameters such as moisture, oil, pores, wrinkles, pigmentation, redness, and skin texture. Scalp and hair analysis can also be used to assess factors such as oiliness, flaking, density, and hair thickness.
However, in a clinic environment, the number of analysis parameters is not the only thing that matters.
What matters more is what happens after the analysis.
For example, when consultation clients can view their own skin images and review their analysis results, a vague statement such as:
“My skin seems to be getting worse.”
can evolve into a more specific question:
“What should I pay attention to first in my current skin condition?”
ChoiceDx supports this professional consultation process through the following flow:
Imaging → AI Analysis → Visualization → Professional Consultation
Before Consultation, Make the Condition Visible
In dermatology and aesthetic consultations, helping clients understand their own condition is more important than it may seem.
Even when professionals provide detailed explanations, if clients cannot connect that information to their own skin, the consultation can easily become one-sided.
The experience changes when clients can look at their own skin images and analysis results while listening to the explanation.
Professionals and clients can then communicate based on the same screen, the same images, and the same information.
This is exactly what ChoiceDx aims to enable.
Make the condition visible.Make consultation easier to understand.
The goal is not to present complex AI technology in a complicated way, but to help people understand their condition more intuitively.
That is also why we recommend experiencing ChoiceDx directly at Dubai Derma.
From Skin to Scalp and Hair
Dubai Derma Highlights the Expanding Scope of Analysis
This year’s Dubai Derma scientific program covers not only skin, but also a wide range of professional topics related to the scalp and hair, including Hair Restoration, Alopecia, Pigmentation, Skin of Color, and Regenerative Medicine.
ChoiceDx also goes beyond facial skin analysis.
Skin Analysis
Capture skin conditions and visualize various analysis results to support consultations.
Scalp Analysis
Assess scalp conditions and areas that may require attention, creating a starting point for professional consultation.
Hair Analysis
Review hair conditions in greater detail and extend the analysis experience into professional hair and scalp consultation environments.
Within a single brand, ChoiceDx can create an analysis journey that extends from:
Skin → Scalp → Hair
This is why ChoiceDx can be considered not only for dermatology and aesthetic clinics, but also for hair transplantation clinics, hair and scalp centers, medical spas, and other professional environments.
Why ChoiceDx Is Being Showcased in Dubai
There is a reason Dubai Derma officially positions itself as a business platform connecting the Middle East, North Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, and beyond.
Dubai is not simply a market for the UAE alone. It serves as a global business hub linking the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia.
As a result, a buyer met at Dubai Derma may represent far more than a single clinic in the UAE.
Distributors and business partners from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and other GCC markets, as well as India and Africa, come to Dubai looking for new technologies and brands.
Dubai Derma is also operating its Derma Business Hub this year, connecting companies with pre-qualified buyers and creating opportunities for new distribution and business partnerships.
ChoiceDx is not simply looking to meet exhibition visitors at Dubai Derma.
We are looking to meet partners who want to create an AI Analysis Experience in their own markets.
The Next Step as K-Beauty Expands in the Middle East
Momentum around K-Beauty is continuing to grow in the UAE.
From August through October 2026, KOTRA is running a UAE K-Beauty test marketing program supporting entry into local online distribution channels as well as pop-ups and promotional activities linked to major local events.
These developments suggest that K-Beauty in the Middle East is moving beyond simple interest toward real distribution and expanded customer touchpoints.
So what comes next as more K-Beauty products enter the market?
When stores carry dozens of brands and hundreds of products, consumers eventually ask the same question again:
“Which one is for me?”
At this point, ChoiceDx is not another product added to the shelf. It can become an experience that helps customers establish a starting point for navigating a wide range of products.
Consultation in Clinics
Product Discovery in Retail
One of the strengths of ChoiceDx is that the same analysis technology can be connected to different business environments.
In clinics:
Imaging → Analysis → Consultation
In K-Beauty retail:
Skin Analysis → Understand My Skin → Product Discovery
In medical spas and aesthetic environments:
Analysis → Consultation → Personalized Care Journey
Introducing ChoiceDx therefore does not simply mean installing an AI skin analyzer.
What matters is deciding where analysis should be placed within the customer journey, and how the results can be connected to consultation, services, or product discovery.
Korea → New York → Dubai
ChoiceDx Continues to Expand Its Global Retail and Medical Experience
ChoiceDx continues to expand customer experiences not only in Korea’s K-Beauty retail environment, but also internationally.
In Korea, Skin Analysis Experiences are operating in various retail environments, including Olive Young, where customers can understand their skin condition and explore products.
More recently, local consumers in New York were also introduced using ChoiceDx in a K-Beauty retail environment.
And now, Dubai Derma 2026.
From domestic retail to global K-Beauty stores, and now to a medical event where dermatology and aesthetic professionals from around the world gather, the customers and markets ChoiceDx is meeting continue to expand.
