Consultant Dermatologist. UK-trained. 21+ years of practice built on one belief: that skin care begins with truly knowing the patient.
Dr. Khadija Al-Zaabi has been practicing dermatology for over two decades. Her path into medicine was driven by a fascination with the skin as an organ - its complexity, its ability to signal deeper health, and the profound effect it has on how a person feels about themselves.
She completed her specialist training in the United Kingdom, where she was exposed to a rigorous clinical environment that shaped her commitment to evidence-based medicine. Returning to the UAE, she built a practice grounded in both clinical precision and genuine warmth - qualities that her patients consistently describe as what sets her apart.
Today, she practices at House of Skincare on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi - a clinic she helped build to reflect the same standards she holds for herself. Every consultation begins the same way: with listening.
Dr. Khadija understands that coming to a dermatologist can feel vulnerable. Her consultations are designed to feel calm, unhurried, and honest.
She does not chase every new procedure or popular ingredient. Every recommendation she makes is backed by clinical evidence and relevant to your specific skin concern.
No two patients receive the same plan. Your skin type, lifestyle, medical history, and goals all shape the treatment she recommends. There is no template.
A foundation of formal training, recognized membership, and decades of hands-on clinical practice.
Licensed at consultant level by the Department of Health Abu Dhabi, the highest clinical designation for specialist practice in the emirate.
Completed specialist dermatology training in the United Kingdom, with exposure to internationally recognized clinical standards and practice environments.
Active membership in the AAD reflects continued engagement with international clinical research and professional standards in dermatology.
