Dr. Taskeen Iqbal – Aesthetic Physician in Islamabad and Rawalpindi

Dr. Taskeen Iqbal is a PMDC-registered and Irish Medical Council-registered Aesthetic Physician practising at Dr. Taskeen Iqbal Skin and Aesthetics, Bahria Town Phase 8, Rawalpindi. She sees patients from Rawalpindi, Islamabad, and across Pakistan for aesthetic medicine consultations and clinical skin treatments.

Who Is Dr. Taskeen Iqbal

Dr. Taskeen Iqbal completed her MBBS at Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad in 2009. After graduation she moved to Ireland where she worked as a Registrar at St John’s Hospital in Limerick. In this role she managed patients across general clinical settings, building a strong foundation in patient assessment, safe clinical practice, and medical decision-making. She later transitioned into aesthetic medicine, completing a Diploma in Aesthetic Medicine through AACME in the United States in 2022 and an Advanced Certification in Aesthetic Medicine through AAA, also in the United States, in the same year.

She now runs her own clinic in Bahria Town Phase 8, Rawalpindi, seeing patients from Rawalpindi, Islamabad, and occasionally from other cities and from abroad.

Qualifications and Medical Registration

All registration numbers below are active and can be independently verified through the respective regulatory bodies.

Why This Background Matters

Aesthetic medicine in Pakistan is an unregulated field. Anyone can offer injectable treatments without a medical degree. Choosing a practitioner who is PMDC registered, IMC registered, and holds formal aesthetic medicine qualifications from accredited bodies is the minimum standard patients should require before any procedure. Dr. Taskeen Iqbal meets and exceeds that standard.

She also does not delegate procedures. Every treatment at this clinic is performed personally by Dr. Taskeen Iqbal. Patients are not handed to technicians after the consultation.

Treatments at the Clinic

Botox Injections in Islamabad and Rawalpindi

Botox injections for facial lines, forehead, crow’s feet, bunny lines, lip flip, and full face and neck treatment. The clinic uses Korean brands and American Allergan, which is the most widely studied botulinum toxin brand in clinical literature. Dosing is calculated per patient rather than applied as a standard template. Results last 3 to 6 months depending on the area and the patient’s muscle activity. Pricing ranges from PKR 40,000 to PKR 100,000 for full face and neck treatment.

PRP Hair Treatment

Platelet Rich Plasma therapy for hair thinning, hair fall, and hair loss in men and women including androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, and post-partum hair loss. A small volume of the patient’s own blood is drawn, spun in a medical centrifuge to concentrate the growth factors, and injected directly into the scalp at follicle depth. The growth factors stimulate dormant follicles and extend the active growth phase of existing hair. No synthetic substances are involved. Results are visible after 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. PRP is one of the most evidence-backed non-surgical hair restoration treatments available.

PRP Facial Rejuvenation

PRP applied to the face for skin texture improvement, fine lines, acne scarring, and natural collagen stimulation. The concentrated plasma is either micro-needled into the skin or injected at specific points depending on the treatment goal. Because PRP uses the patient’s own blood there is no risk of allergic reaction. It combines well with microneedling, Q-Switch laser, and carbon laser peel in sequenced treatment plans.

Hydrafacial in Islamabad and Rawalpindi

Hydrafacial is a multi-step medical grade facial that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin with targeted serums in a single session. The clinic offers four tiers from PKR 8,000 to PKR 25,000. The tiers are Whitening and Brightening, Platinum Rejuvenation and Glow, Premium Glass Skin, and PRP Vampire Facial. Each tier uses a specific serum combination for the treatment goal. Hydrafacial suits all skin types including sensitive and acne-prone skin. There is no downtime and results are visible immediately after the session.

Carbon Laser Peel

Also called the Hollywood Peel or Black Doll Facial. A Q-Switch laser passes over a carbon-coated face, vapourising the carbon along with dead skin cells and oil in the pores. The result is exfoliated, brighter skin with reduced pore visibility and an immediate glow. Popular for pre-event skin preparation and monthly skin maintenance. Suitable for all skin types including Pakistani and South Asian skin tones.

Q-Switch Laser and Skin Laser Treatments

Medical grade Q-Switch ND:YAG laser for melasma, facial pigmentation, sun damage, post-acne dark marks, underarm darkening, freckles, and tattoo removal. Q-Switch emits short pulses of laser energy at specific wavelengths absorbed by melanin in the skin. The melanin particles are broken down and removed naturally by the body over the following weeks. Multiple sessions are required for most pigmentation conditions. Protocols at this clinic are calibrated specifically for Pakistani and South Asian skin tones, which carry a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation if treated with standard protocols. Correct energy settings under physician supervision are what separate safe effective treatment from worsening pigmentation.

Glutathione Drip for Skin Brightening

Intravenous glutathione for skin brightening and antioxidant therapy. Glutathione is a natural antioxidant that reduces the production of dark melanin and increases lighter melanin production over a course of sessions. Swiss and Korean brands are available. Pricing ranges from PKR 15,000 to PKR 40,000 per session depending on the brand and dose. Only authenticated, verified products are used. Patients are advised to check brand and origin before any glutathione treatment anywhere, as counterfeit products are widespread in Pakistan.

Mesotherapy for Face and Hair

Micro-injections of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and nutrients delivered directly into the skin or scalp. For the face, mesotherapy improves skin hydration, texture, and radiance. For the scalp, it feeds hair follicles with nutrients that support active hair growth and reduce shedding. Particularly effective for patients with nutritional deficiencies affecting skin and hair quality.

Microdermabrasion

Medical grade mechanical exfoliation for skin texture improvement, mild pigmentation reduction, and pore refinement. No downtime. Suitable for regular skin maintenance every 3 to 4 weeks. Works well alongside other treatments as a surface preparation step.

Fat Dissolving Injections

Injectable deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine-based treatments for localised fat reduction. Used for double chin, jowls, bra fat, and abdomen. Pricing ranges from PKR 5,000 to PKR 20,000 per ml depending on the brand and area being treated. Results develop over 4 to 8 weeks as the body processes the dissolved fat cells.

Laser Hair Removal in Islamabad and Rawalpindi

Permanent hair reduction using medical grade laser equipment. Protocols are adjusted for Pakistani skin tones to minimise pigmentation risk. Available for all body areas including upper lip, chin, full face, underarms, bikini, Brazilian, arms, legs, back, and chest. Men and women both treated. Typically requires 6 to 8 sessions for each area spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

Mole and Skin Tag Removal

Laser ablation and surgical excision for moles, skin tags, warts, milia, and other skin growths. Pricing starts from PKR 5,000 per mole. Removed tissue can be sent for histopathology where there is any clinical concern. Patients are assessed before any removal to confirm the growth is benign and safe to treat cosmetically.

Thread Lift for Face and Neck

Non-surgical facial contouring using dissolvable PDO threads to lift and tighten the midface, jawline, cheeks, and neck. Results last 12 to 18 months. No general anaesthesia required. Minimal downtime compared to surgical alternatives. Works well for patients who want visible lifting without surgery.

Exosome Hair Restoration

One of the most advanced hair restoration treatments now available in Pakistan. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that carry growth factors, proteins, and signalling molecules between cells. When injected into the scalp, they communicate directly with hair follicle cells and trigger regeneration at a level that PRP alone cannot reach. For patients with moderate to significant hair thinning who want stronger results than PRP, exosomes produce noticeably better outcomes in fewer sessions. This is a medical procedure available only in clinical settings, not at salons or parlours.

What the Clinic Does Not Offer

Hair botox is a salon treatment. Dr. Taskeen Iqbal does not offer it. Most patients asking about hair botox are dealing with hair fall or thinning that requires a medical solution rather than a surface conditioning treatment. These patients are assessed and directed toward PRP, mesotherapy, or exosome therapy based on their scalp condition.

Treatments outside the clinical scope of the practice are declined and patients referred appropriately rather than treated beyond the doctor’s competence.

The Clinic

Dr. Taskeen Iqbal Skin and Aesthetics is located in Bahria Town Phase 8, Rawalpindi. The clinic sits on the Rawalpindi and Islamabad border, making it accessible from both cities without travelling into central Rawalpindi or Islamabad. Patients come from across the twin cities and occasionally from Lahore, Karachi, the UK, UAE, Canada, and Australia for consultations and treatment courses.

What is the difference between PRP and exosome hair treatment?

PRP uses growth factors from the patient’s own blood to stimulate follicles. Exosomes deliver a broader range of regenerative signals at a cellular level and produce stronger results for patients with more significant hair thinning. PRP is the starting point for most hair loss patients. Exosomes are recommended when more intensive treatment is needed.

What skin concerns does the clinic focus on?

Pigmentation, melasma, hair loss and thinning, anti-ageing, acne marks, skin brightening, and body contouring are the most common concerns treated. Most new patients come with either a pigmentation concern or a hair concern as their primary issue.
