Jelveye Mandegar Specialized Skin And Hair Clinic
An Iranian woman receives laser skin therapy at the Jelveye Mandegar specialized skin and hair clinic in downtown Tehran, Iran, on January 22, 2025. Ancient Iranian civilizations value skin and hair care, utilizing medicinal plants and traditional methods. The advent of Islam influences some customs, but the use of natural materials persists. Recently, social media and lifestyle changes increase awareness and popularity of beauty and personal care, even among men in Iran. The rising dollar value makes cosmetic services cheaper for foreigners, and Iran becomes a hub for cosmetic surgery and skin care, bolstered by specialized personnel and advanced technologies, which also contributes to the growth of health tourism in the country.
