Introduction
What is Karisma?
Karisma is an advanced collagen-based skin booster designed to work in harmony with the skin's natural structure. Its collagen is highly compatible with human tissue, supporting regeneration, hydration, and visible improvement in skin quality.
This treatment is well suited to patients seeking refined radiance, softer fine lines, and healthier, more luminous skin — particularly when skin has lost vitality, elasticity, or moisture over time.
Dr. Maliha Dar incorporates Karisma into tailored skin booster plans for patients who want collagen-focused rejuvenation with elegant, natural-looking results.
Karisma is one of the aesthetic treatments in Dubai offered by Dr. Maliha Dar, and is often planned alongside other treatments as part of a single assessment.

Downtime
Temporary redness or small bumps for 1–2 days.
What this treatment can do
- Improved hydration and a smoother, better-reflecting skin surface
- A gradual change across the initial course, maintained with periodic sessions
What it will not do
- Boosters do not add volume or change facial contours
- They do not relax the muscle movement that causes expression lines
- The effect fades without maintenance
Individual results vary. No aesthetic treatment produces a guaranteed outcome, and anyone promising one should be treated with caution.
How much does Karisma cost in Dubai?
FromAED 1,500 – AED 1,700
Skin boosters are priced per session and usually delivered as a short initial course followed by maintenance. The figures below are the clinic's current prices; the number of sessions you need is agreed at consultation.
What affects the price
- The specific booster used — formulations differ in composition and cost
- The number of sessions in the initial course, and how often maintenance is needed afterwards
- Whether face only, or face and neck, are treated
You receive written pricing at consultation before any treatment goes ahead. The clinic does not quote a final price without assessing you first, because the amount of product and number of sessions genuinely differ between patients.
Safety
Suitability, aftercare and risks
Who is Karisma not suitable for?
Suitability is decided at consultation, not online. Karisma is generally not appropriate in the following situations:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- An active skin infection, inflammation or cold sore in the treatment area
- A known allergy to the product or any of its components
- Certain autoimmune or bleeding disorders, depending on the individual case
- Unrealistic expectations of what a non-surgical treatment can achieve
How to prepare
- Arrive with clean skin and no makeup where possible
- Where medically safe to do so, avoid alcohol for 24 hours beforehand
- Discuss any blood-thinning medication or supplements with Dr. Dar before your appointment - never stop prescribed medication without advice from the doctor who prescribed it
- Plan around visible injection points, which can remain for several hours
Aftercare
- Stay upright for the first four hours and avoid pressing or massaging the area unless instructed
- Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms and hot yoga for 24-48 hours
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
- Use sun protection daily - important year-round in the UAE
- Keep skincare simple for 24 hours - no acids, retinoids or exfoliants
- Drink water normally; hydration supports how the skin responds

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes Karisma different?
- Karisma uses a regenerative collagen-based formula designed for high biocompatibility, intense hydration, and natural skin revitalisation.
- Is Karisma suitable for fine lines?
- Yes. Karisma is commonly chosen for early fine lines, dullness, and skin that needs hydration and radiance support.
- How long do Karisma results last?
- Results vary by skin condition and maintenance. A course of treatments and periodic boosters help sustain improvement.
- How many Karisma sessions will I need?
- It is normally given as a short initial course with maintenance afterwards. The exact number depends on your skin and how you respond, and is agreed at consultation rather than fixed in advance.
- Will Karisma help with fine lines?
- It is used to support hydration and radiance, which can influence how fine lines appear. It does not relax the muscle movement that causes expression lines, so it is not a substitute for a muscle-relaxing injectable.
- What does Karisma do?
- Karisma is a collagen-based skin booster used to support hydration, radiance and the appearance of fine lines. It works on skin quality rather than adding structural volume.
- How does Karisma compare with Profhilo?
- Both are boosters targeting skin quality, but they differ in composition and protocol. Because the clinic offers several boosters, the choice between them is made at consultation based on your skin rather than decided beforehand.
- Will a skin booster add volume to my face?
- No. Skin boosters are designed to support hydration and skin quality, not to restore lost volume or change facial contours. If volume is your main concern, a structural filler or a collagen stimulator is the more appropriate option, which Dr. Dar will discuss at consultation.
- How often will I need to repeat it?
- Boosters are usually given as a short initial course, then maintained periodically. How often depends on the product used, your skin and how you respond. Your maintenance interval is agreed after the initial course rather than promised in advance.
- How long do the injection points stay visible?
- Small raised bumps at the injection points are expected and usually soften within several hours to a day, depending on the product and the area. Plan treatment with a little time before any event where you would rather they had settled.
- What happens at the consultation?
- Dr. Dar assesses your skin quality, hydration and concerns, and explains which booster suits them. Because the clinic offers several, the consultation is where the choice between them is made rather than decided in advance.
