Many patients tell me they want glass skin, that clear, smooth finish that reflects light evenly. My tip today surprises some people. In Dubai’s heat and humidity, the shine many people see on their skin is often oil, and oil works against a glassy finish rather than creating one. One of the secret ingredients in the Glassy Skin Protocol at Excellence Medical Boutique in Jumeirah, Dubai is designed to address exactly this.

A glassy finish comes from a smooth surface that reflects light evenly, not from oil sitting on the skin. Excess oil creates patchy shine, collects in pores so they look larger and gives the skin a greasy finish rather than a luminous one. Reducing oil production at the gland itself allows the skin to reflect light more cleanly.
In Dr Rami’s words, the skin is able to shine because it is no longer oily, with the pores looking more closed. A healthy-looking glow depends on a smooth, well-hydrated surface, not on oil.
The Glassy Skin Protocol is a non-surgical, superficial injectable treatment designed to improve skin surface quality. It does not add volume or change facial shape. Instead, it aims to change how the skin behaves and how it reflects light.
The protocol combines several ingredients. Dr Rami Haidar has shared one of them publicly: very small, superficially placed doses of botulinum toxin, sometimes described as microdroplet toxin or “baby toxin.” The rest of the formulation is the clinic’s own protocol and is discussed in full at consultation.
Most patients notice a gradual reduction in oiliness over the first one to two weeks. Results typically last around three to four months, and maintenance sessions help sustain the effect. Small raised marks or mild redness at the injection points usually settle within hours, and bruising is possible.
Superficial toxin depends on precise dilution, dosing and placement, so treatment should always be carried out by a medically trained practitioner after a skin assessment. Dr Rami Haidar is a UK-trained Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon whose understanding of facial anatomy guides where, and how deeply, each treatment is placed.
If oiliness and visible pores stand between you and the finish you want, a consultation is the right first step. To discuss whether glass skin treatment is suitable for you, book a consultation with Dr Rami at Excellence Medical Boutique in Jumeirah, Dubai.
Glass skin treatment refers to procedures that aim to make the skin look smoother and more evenly reflective. At Excellence Medical Boutique in Dubai, Dr Rami Haidar offers the Glassy Skin Protocol, a superficial injectable treatment focused on reducing oiliness and refining the appearance of pores.
One of the key ingredients is botulinum toxin, used in very small, diluted doses placed superficially in the skin. The protocol includes other ingredients that form part of the clinic’s own formulation. Dr Rami explains the treatment in full during consultation.
It is not intended to. The toxin is placed very superficially in tiny doses, so it acts mainly on the oil glands and pores rather than the deeper muscles of expression. Precise technique is essential to keep facial movement natural.
Results typically last around three to four months, although this varies between patients. A reduction in oiliness usually becomes noticeable within one to two weeks. Maintenance sessions help sustain the effect.
The treatment is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for patients with certain neuromuscular conditions, or where there is active infection or inflammation in the area. A full medical history is taken before any treatment.
