She said her decision to establish her own clinic came after seeing increasing numbers of patients seeking treatment that addressed both functional and cosmetic concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey wanted to look less tired, feel more confident and receive honest medical advice. I realised there was a need for a specialised clinic where aesthetic eye treatment, wellness and patient education could be delivered with medical depth and genuine care,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Rather than viewing the clinic as a business venture, Dr Amina said she approached it as a medical mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to create a place where patients could receive specialist care, transparent advice and a refined experience without compromising the discipline and trust of a medical setting,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She credits the UAE\u2019s supportive environment for innovation and entrepreneurship with giving her the confidence to establish La Vogue Experts Clinic, where every stage of the patient journey \u2013 from consultation to recovery and long-term wellness \u2013 is designed around personalised care.<\/p>\n

From surgeon to entrepreneur<\/p>\n

While becoming a skilled surgeon required years of rigorous medical training, Dr Amina said transitioning into entrepreneurship demanded an entirely different mindset.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest shift was becoming an entrepreneur. As a surgeon, you focus on anatomy, precision and outcomes. As a founder, you\u2019re building a culture, leading a team, creating systems and ensuring every patient receives the same standard of care,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

She believes leadership is less about control than about empowering people while safeguarding the values of the organisation.<\/p>\n

That philosophy also guides the clinic\u2019s expansion. Before introducing any new technology or treatment, she evaluates whether it genuinely benefits patients and can be delivered responsibly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn healthcare, growth is not simply about adding services. It is about maintaining quality, safety and patient confidence,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Bridging medicine and aesthetics<\/p>\n

Dr Amina identified a gap in the UAE market for highly specialised care where medical expertise and cosmetic enhancement intersect.<\/p>\n

She said the delicate anatomy around the eyes demands specialist knowledge and surgical precision, with treatment decisions based on medical necessity as much as appearance. \u201cMy goal is not to change someone\u2019s identity. It is to restore balance, freshness, comfort and confidence in a natural way,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She believes patients are becoming more informed and increasingly interested in preventive healthcare, with growing demand for longevity and wellness alongside aesthetic treatments.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are no longer only seeking correction. They want to maintain their health, energy and confidence over the long term,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

Breaking misconceptions<\/p>\n

One of the biggest misconceptions she encounters is that aesthetic eye surgery is purely cosmetic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn reality, the eye area often involves both functional and aesthetic concerns,\u201d she said, noting that conditions affecting the eyelids can impact comfort, vision and confidence.<\/p>\n

She also cautioned against underestimating the complexity of eyelid surgery. \u201cIt carries real risks and should only be performed by experienced specialists following careful assessment,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

International training<\/p>\n

After completing high school in the UAE, Dr Amina earned her medical degree from the University of Jordan before returning to Dubai for her internship and ophthalmology residency with Dubai Health Authority. She later obtained Arab Board certification and pursued advanced training in oculoplasty with a visiting French specialist, followed by aesthetics programmes in London and Paris.<\/p>\n

She said the combination of ophthalmology, reconstructive surgery and aesthetics enables her to balance eye health with cosmetic outcomes.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, beauty and eye health must always go together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Advice for healthy eyes<\/p>\n

With the UAE\u2019s hot climate contributing to dry eyes and irritation, Dr Amina advised residents to stay hydrated, wear UV-protective sunglasses, avoid prolonged exposure to hot air and take regular breaks from digital screens.<\/p>\n

She also encouraged routine eye examinations, particularly for people with diabetes, thyroid disorders or autoimmune diseases, as many eye conditions develop without obvious symptoms.<\/p>\n

Maintaining good contact lens hygiene, practising eyelid care and seeking medical advice for persistent irritation are equally important, she said.<\/p>\n

Inspiring the next generation<\/p>\n

Dr Amina believes Emirati women are playing an increasingly influential role in specialised medicine and healthcare entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are doctors, surgeons, founders, educators, mentors and leaders. We are not only entering these fields; we are helping define their standards,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Her message to young Emirati women is simple: pursue specialised medicine, embrace leadership opportunities and contribute to the UAE\u2019s vision of world-class healthcare without compromising personal values.<\/p>\n
