How do I choose a SMILE Pro clinic in Dubai?
Check that the facility and the operating surgeon both hold current Dubai licences, ask which specific laser platform is installed, confirm who performs the surgery and who handles follow-up, and get an itemised written quote. Then compare what each quote includes rather than the totals alone.
