Our objective is to address beauty & wellness as a fully functioning system, driven by practice-led services and personalised technology to create better experiences for our patients,” she added.

Following Medcare’s acquisition of a majority stake Dr. Sharam Nabili CEO of Skin111 will continue to lead the clinics’ operations under the Medcare umbrella.
