How much does medical weight loss cost in Dubai?
Cost is the first question, and it should be. Here's exactly what medical weight loss costs at Aafiyah — what's included, what isn't, and where the money actually goes.
The three tiers, in plain English
Foundation — from AED 2,999/month. Semaglutide (Wegovy or Ozempic) prescription arranged via a DHA-licensed pharmacy, monthly GP review with dose titration, baseline + 3-monthly bloods, direct WhatsApp access.
Accelerate — from AED 3,499/month. Same wrap-around care with tirzepatide (Mounjaro) instead of semaglutide. Weight, BMI and waist-circumference tracking included.
Complete Metabolic Programme — from AED 3,999/month. Either molecule, 3-monthly bloods plus nutritional deficiency screening, monthly nutrition and lifestyle consultation, priority same-day GP access.
What the price does and doesn't include
Included: prescription, monthly GP review, dose titration, baseline bloods, 3-monthly repeat bloods, direct WhatsApp access to your named GP, pharmacy arrangement, cold-chain delivery to your address in Dubai.
Not included: your first GP consultation (charged separately, with 20% off on Foundation), medication co-payments if brand switches mid-course, and any additional imaging or specialist referral your GP recommends. There are no surprise fees — anything additional is agreed with you before it's charged.
Does insurance cover it?
UAE health insurance typically does not cover GLP-1 medication prescribed for weight management. This programme is self-pay with transparent monthly pricing. We can provide a fully itemised invoice for personal records or corporate reimbursement conversations.
What you're actually paying for
You are not paying for a pen. You are paying for a named British-trained GP to read your bloods, titrate your dose properly, catch side effects early, protect your muscle mass and give you a plan for after. That is where the value shows up over 12 months — and it is why our tiers include monthly review and 3-monthly bloods as standard, not as a paid upgrade.
Questions patients ask.
Is there a cheaper option than Aafiyah?+
Yes — there are pharmacy-counter scripts in Dubai starting lower. What they don't include is a named GP reading your bloods, monthly review or dose titration. That's the part that changes the result over 12 months.
Do I sign a long-term contract?+
No. Monthly programme, cancel any time. Your GP will discuss what to expect if you stop.
Can I split payments?+
Payments are monthly. Speak to us at consultation if you need a specific arrangement.

What your monthly price buys, from AED 2,999
Three tiers: Foundation at AED 2,999/month, Accelerate at AED 3,499/month and Complete Metabolic at AED 3,999/month. One monthly figure covers the medication and the medical care around it — nothing below is an upgrade or an add-on.
Foundation AED 2,999, Accelerate AED 3,499, Complete Metabolic AED 3,999 per month. Your GP confirms the right tier at consultation and the price is given in writing before anything is prescribed.

A lower headline figure usually buys the pen and nothing else. Consultation, baseline bloods, repeat monitoring, dose titration and follow-up are typically charged per visit on top — and the total over a 12-month course is rarely quoted upfront.
From AED 2,999/month, all-inclusive: medication, monthly GP review, dose titration, baseline and 3-monthly bloods, and a named GP you can message directly. One monthly figure, no per-visit fees, cancel any time.
GLP-1 treatment is prescription-only and appropriate only after a clinical assessment. UAE health insurance typically does not cover GLP-1 medication for weight management.
