The Different cosmetology clinic is expanding its presence—now in Abu Dhabi. This second location continues the concept of the original space, maintaining a scientific approach to beauty and the purity of minimalist design. Learn more about the first location here.

The image of a test tube with a barcode—a symbol of science and precision—once again serves as the foundation of the visual language.

The interior design emphasizes rationality, cleanliness, and technological sophistication: white walls, stainless steel, and frosted glass.
There are no unnecessary details—only functionality and carefully considered minimalism. Transparency is the key principle of the space.

Glass panels in the walls create a visual connection between rooms, allowing silhouettes to be observed without revealing identities. This effect is enhanced by lighting: when the lights turn on or people enter the rooms, soft, dynamic contours evoke a sense of scientific research.
The reception area is connected to adjacent rooms through glass elements. A semi-matte cabinet maintains visibility of its contents, reinforcing the idea of openness.
A luminous ceiling unites the space, extending into the depths of the clinic and culminating in a stained glass panel in the massage room.

The layout is clearly structured: two procedure rooms on each side, positioned by the windows, featuring large mirrored walls and frosted glass partitions to create a sense of openness.
Deeper inside, massage rooms offer a contrasting experience, where dim lighting and dark tones immerse visitors in a soothing environment for relaxation.
Technical cabinets and utility rooms are finished entirely in matte acrylic to enhance the theme of transparency and technological precision.

Different in Abu Dhabi is a continuation of the clinic’s philosophy, where science, beauty, and architecture work in harmony to create a space of trust and innovative care.
