01-MAY-2018

Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, Founding Chairman, Al Habtoor Group welcomed Dr Steven Victor, CEO, Medical Director of ReGen Medical at his office on Monday 30 April 2018.

Dr Victor is a world-renowned dermatology and stem cell doctor who is based on Park Avenue in New York. He has developed groundbreaking procedures and products to help people look their best and feel their best using innovative techniques, and has gained considerable renown in the field of Dermatology, pioneering some of the most effective and interesting treatments in skin rejuvenation today.

They discussed the possibility of Dr Victor setting up a clinic in Dubai at Al Habtoor City.

Khalaf Al Habtoor said, “Al Habtoor City is a fantastic location as it is on the main artery in the city, located in a prime location on Sheikh Zayed Road. At any one time there could be up to 20,000 people in Al Habtoor City alone, in the three hotels, and three residential towers.”

He added, “I always say that Dubai is the land of opportunity. It is well placed between Europe and Asia, and has a captive market.”

Dr Victor said, “We thought Dubai would be the perfect centre in the GCC to set up a clinic as it is a great base for medical tourism. We have seen people coming in from India, China, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Oman, so there is a need for a regional base.”

One of the areas Dr Victor specializes in is Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) cells where he can take a patient’s own regenerative cells to diminish lines and wrinkles and firm the skin. He has also successfully treated patients with diabetes, Parkinson’s disease and autism.

He said, “Regenerative medicine is a rapidly expanding set of innovative medical technologies that restore function by enabling the body to repair, replace and regenerate damaged, aging or diseased cells, tissues and organs.”
