Event Details

Most of us love a bit of sunshine, especially living in the UAE where the sun’s out all year round. But with all that sun exposure comes a real need to look after our skin. Skin cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer, yet it often gets overlooked—especially in sunny regions.

Join us at Athena Dermatology Clinic for a special Skin Cancer Awareness event on Tuesday 27th May, from 9.30am-12pm to learn about prevention, detection and treatment.

During the event, specialist dermatologists Dr. Akreti Sobti and Dr. Parul Thakur will deliver an informative talk covering key aspects of skin cancer awareness. They will explain the ABCDs of skin cancer—how to identify suspicious moles and skin changes—and share practical sun safety tips to help protect your skin. The session will also touch on available treatment options for various types of skin cancer and emphasise the importance of mole checks and mole mapping as essential tools for early detection. In addition, attendees will receive a complimentary skin analysis using a state-of-the-art diagnostic device that provides valuable insights into skin health by identifying signs of damage, dehydration, pigmentation, and more.

You’ll also have access to complimentary skin analysis using the Opatra Skin Analysis Machine, a state-of-the-art diagnostic tool that offers a deeper look into skin health, helping identify signs of damage, dehydration, pigmentation, and more.

This event is for you if you’ve had a history of sunburns or excessive sun exposure, have many moles or a family history of skin cancer, or anyone interested in proactive skin health and personalised skincare advice.

You’ll enjoy some light bites and pastries with juice and hot beverages over the morning and everyone attending will take home a goody bag including 25% discount vouchers on select services including mole mapping!
