"I flew from Jeddah specifically for a consultation with Dr. Saud. His approach to hair loss was comprehensive and the PRP treatment results exceeded my expectations."
"Finally found a dermatologist who truly understands our skin type. The M22 IPL treatment was comfortable and my skin tone is more even than it's been in years."
"Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his patients. The clinic is beautiful and the experience felt international. Dr. Saud is a real asset to Riyadh."
Absolutely. Dr. Saud specialises in treating Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI — the skin types most common in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. He uses technologies specifically calibrated for melanin-rich skin, such as PicoWay and carefully adjusted IPL protocols, ensuring safe, effective results without risks of hyperpigmentation or scarring.
This depends on your specific condition and treatment. Most laser treatments show visible improvement after 1–3 sessions, with full results achieved over 3–6 sessions. Dr. Saud will outline a realistic timeline tailored to your individual skin concerns and goals during your consultation.
Most patients are good candidates for at least one of our treatment options. Suitability depends on your skin type, medical history, current medications, and specific concerns. Dr. Saud conducts a thorough assessment at every consultation to determine the safest and most effective approach for you.

Downtime varies by treatment. Procedures such as M22 IPL and PicoWay typically involve minimal to no downtime, allowing you to return to daily activities immediately. More intensive treatments like fractional CO₂ may require 5–10 days of healing. Dr. Saud provides detailed pre- and post-treatment care instructions for every procedure.
Dr. Saud holds rare dual board certifications from both Canada and the United States, trained at the internationally renowned University of British Columbia, and has undergone advanced subspecialty training in laser medicine. He personally oversees every treatment and develops individualised protocols rather than applying generic approaches.
Melasma is a chronic condition influenced by hormonal and environmental factors, meaning it requires ongoing management rather than a single cure. However, with Dr. Saud's comprehensive approach — combining medical-grade topicals, laser treatments, sun protection protocols, and maintenance therapy — patients typically achieve excellent long-term control and dramatically improved skin appearance.
