The best in wellness for the whole family on display at Women's Healthcare and The Bride Show Dubai

Women's Healthcare and The Bride Show Dubai, running concurrently from 8 to 11 April 2009 at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre, will together host top international wellness brands, products, and specialists. With a focus on the distinct issues of the UAE, visitors can find the information and tools they need to improve their health and wellbeing.

For the first time the NIVEA Skin Science Express will be at the Women's Healthcare exhibition to offer a sample of treatments from manicures to facials to skin testing. The team will recreate their new NIVEA HAUS Dubai, located in Dubai Mall, which offers a beauty lounge and spa for women and a dedicated men's grooming area.

Furthermore, one of the world's most innovative health drinks is set to be launched at Women's Healthcare and visitors will be among the first in the UAE to try it. Bio Vera, launched by the World International Trade Corporation (WITCO), will be introduced to the market as the world's first organic Aloe vera enzyme health drink.

Halal-certified by the Organic Board in Malaysia, Bio Vera is set to take the nutrition market by storm. Aloe vera enzymes are extremely effective contributors to healthy immune function and overall wellness. Bio Vera will help stimulate digestion, detoxification, nutrient absorption, and production of white blood cells, making the product essential to those dedicated to healthy living.

Meanwhile, at The Bride Show Dubai, the Biolite Skin Clinic will unveil their Placenta-Diamond facial, the first of its kind in Dubai and the ultimate treatment for brides-to-be who want to look their best on the big day. Known enthusiasts of the Placenta-Diamond facial include Jennifer Lopez and Madonna, who undergo the treatment before red-carpet events.

In the hot, dry climate of the UAE, the sun's rays can be extremely harmful to the skin. Biolite's treatments are designed to restore youthful vitality and brightness to the face and body.

Biolite will be performing demonstrations of their signature treatments: oxygen whitening to brighten the complexion, and a mineral makeover, which offers natural sun protection without clogging pores.

Sietske Meerloo, Marketing Manager of Women's Healthcare, organised by IIR Middle East, said:
