Most of the Kingdom’s top private hospitals have online appointment facilities, with a growing number of reputable travel agencies also arranging every detail of your trip from airport transfer to post-treatment vacations.

Eyes and Teeth

Cost-saving procedures that are increasingly popular with overseas visitors are dentistry and corrective eye surgery, both of which are treated quickly and expediently as outpatients. LASIK eye treatment takes just a few minutes to complete and the improvement to your eyesight is instantly noticeable.

Using the most sensitive advanced laser treatment machines, LASIK surgery will reshape your eyes to the slightest of fractions with a minimum of discomfort. With 20/20 vision you can discard your old glasses and marvel at the detailed ornamentation of our historic local temples.

Dermatology

Most of us feel that our body and features could look a little better or younger, and what better way to achieve this than by undergoing cosmetic treatments while enjoying the pleasures of a tropical vacation.

Or for the removal of more stubborn acne and blemishes, then opt for the ultrasound technique of Phonophoresis. For even more of a boost to your youth and vitality, simple procedures like Botox and Collagen injections literally smooth away wrinkles, while Sclero Therapy injections rid you of unsightly varicose veins in less than a week.
