Most brands arrive here knowing retail and knowing nothing about the clinic and salon channel, which is where a lot of this market actually happens. We spend our days mapping that channel. Tell us what you are bringing, and we will tell you plainly whether we are any use to you.

We are not a distributor and we hold no stock. We do not handle import, customs or product registration, and we have no exclusive agreement with any clinic. We are early, and the number of introductions we have made so far is small. If someone tells you they can place your brand in hundreds of clinics, ask them how. We would rather start a real conversation than sell you a plan we cannot run.
No charge and no obligation. We send it whether or not anything else follows.
Brands arrive here in different shapes, and the shape decides who files the paperwork and who you are actually selling to. Find yours before anything else.
Export through a UAE distributor
The distributor registers and imports
Fastest way in and the usual one. You keep the brand, they hold the licence, the stock and a share of the margin. Clinics buy from them, not from you.
We can shortlist clinics that fit, and tell you which distributors already serve them.
Your own UAE entity
You register in your own name
More control and more cost. A free zone company cannot sell into the mainland on its own, so most brands that go this way still need a mainland partner or a mainland licence.
Same clinic work, plus a read on whether your volume justifies the overhead.
OEM for a local brand
The local brand owner registers
You manufacture, somebody here owns the label. You are selling capacity rather than a brand, so the buyer is a brand owner or a group, not a clinic.
We can tell you which groups are large enough to carry their own label.
ODM or private label for a clinic group
The clinic group registers
A clinic chain puts its own name on your formulation. The sale is to one buyer and the volume is steady, but you need a chain with enough branches to make it worth it.
This is where our data is sharpest: who runs how many branches, and how big each one is.
Getting a beauty product into a Dubai clinic runs through six steps. We are useful at two of them and honest about the rest, because a brand that has not cleared the middle cannot sell here yet, whoever introduces it.
Deciding whether Dubai is worth itwe help here
How many clinics treat what you sell, where they are, what this market charges. This is the part we can answer the same week.
A UAE importer, distributor or your own entity
Registration can only be filed by a UAE company whose trade licence covers the product, so this step comes before anything can be sold. We can point you at people who do it.
Conformity and product registration
Ingredient lists, free sale certificate, certificate of analysis, and registration through the relevant authority. Specialist work, and not ours.
Shipping, customs and labelling
An importer code, clearance against the registration, and label requirements for this market.
Talking to clinics and salonswe help here
Which places fit your product and size, who to approach first, and what they are already paying for comparable treatments. This is the other part we are useful for.
Already stocked, want more clinics
Then it is a question of which rooms you are not in yet. Tell us what is working and we can read the gap.
Requirements differ by product type and they change, so treat this as the shape of the journey rather than advice. Confirm the current rules with the relevant authority or a registration specialist before you commit to a plan.
Only the first three are required. The rest make our reply more useful, and a person reads every one of them.
