How do you open a medical or longevity clinic in the UAE?
Opening a profitable medical wellness or longevity clinic in the UAE starts long before the licence — it starts with the right concept, the right treatment and technology mix, and a business plan that proves the return. I Feel Spa International develops medical and longevity clinics end to end: clinic concept, clinical and luxury design, treatment and longevity protocols, medical-equipment and technology supply, and the financial model that drives ROI — with regulatory licensing (DHA in Dubai, DOH in Abu Dhabi, or the DHCC free zone) coordinated as part of the build rather than sold as the product. The opportunity is substantial: the UAE dermatology and aesthetics market reached USD 402.4 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 736.5 million by 2030, a 10.8% CAGR (P&S Intelligence), while Dubai alone draws over 1.3 million medical tourists a year.
What drives the ROI of a UAE medical clinic?
A clinic's return is set at the concept stage: the treatment menu, the technology installed, patient throughput, and price positioning. We build the business plan around those levers — capital budget (fit-out, medical equipment, longevity technology), operating model, break-even, and projected ROI — so the investment case is clear before construction starts. Regulatory cost is a small line in that model: a DHA facility licence for a small clinic typically runs AED 5,000–15,000 per year and each clinician's licence AED 3,000–6,500, on a parallel-tracked licensing path of roughly 3–4 months. Our value is designing a clinic that earns — not just one that clears inspection.
