The findings

  1. 1.In Dubai, Google's AI named 32 different clinics across 10 questions, but two clinics each appeared in 6 of them. A few names already lead.
  2. 2.Abu Dhabi is more open: no clinic appeared in more than 5 of 10 answers.
  3. 3.At least 273 of these clinics are running Meta ads right now, while the AI answers named 80 clinics in all. Paying for the feed does not put a clinic in the answer.
  4. 4.Recommended clinics are more likely to print a health authority licence number (12% against 5%) and to have an Arabic version (38% against 25%). Across all clinics, only 6% show a licence number on the site at all.

The websites

What a patient finds on clinic websites.

Clinics already paying for ads (a Google Ads tag, a Meta pixel or live Meta ads) sit in their own column, because they are the ones a patient sees first in the feed.

This table is wider than a phone screen. Swipe it sideways to see the other columns.

The difference

What the recommended clinics do differently.

We found 26 of the clinics Google's AI recommended in our list and compared their sites with every other clinic site we could load. A small group, so the gaps show a direction rather than a rule.

The money

What one patient is worth.

Aesthetic treatments repeat, so one new patient is rarely one visit. These are published Dubai prices, re-read on 4 October 2026.

AED 2,000 to 4,000

a three-area botulinum toxin treatment, typically AED 2,800, repeated every few months

Zavis, Botox cost in Dubai, reviewed 1 April 2026

AED 1,000 to 5,000

per session of acne scar laser resurfacing, usually 3 to 5 sessions

What this means for an owner

Four steps that put a clinic in the answer.

Print your licence and your doctors

The facility licence number, each doctor's name, title and licence category. They are checkable facts, the kind an AI answer leans on, and very few clinics show them.

Answer the price question yourself

Patients ask AI what a treatment costs in their city. A clear price range per treatment, with what is included, gives the answer a fact to quote from your page instead of someone else's.

Add Arabic

Recommended clinics are more likely to have an Arabic version (38% against 25%), and in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah about two clinic sites in five already have one.

Stay inside the advertising rules

No "best", no promised results, before-and-after images with the required disclaimer. Facts get repeated by AI; claims get you a fine.

Method

How to check our work.

Clinics come from the DHA, DoH and MOHAP facility registers as published by a UAE clinic directory, plus web searches, yellow pages listings and Meta's Ad Library, de-duplicated by website, phone and name. Beauty salons, which cannot legally inject, hospitals and groups with ten or more branches are counted but kept out of the totals.

Each clinic website was read once, homepage and contact page, for clinic schema, an Arabic version, prices in AED, a before-and-after gallery, a printed licence number, an online booking tool and a WhatsApp link. Prices and galleries often sit on deeper pages, so treat those two figures as floors.

Live Meta ads were checked in Meta's Ad Library by clinic name (273 clinics found running ads), and the sites were checked for Google Ads and Meta tags. Sharjah and Abu Dhabi lists are thinner than Dubai's, because fewer directories cover them.

Questions

About this report.

How many aesthetic clinics are there in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah?
We counted 715 that offer aesthetic, dermatology, laser or plastic surgery treatments, after leaving out salons, hospitals and large groups. Dubai holds most of them, clustered around Jumeirah and Downtown.
Does this report say which clinic is safest?
No. We make no medical judgement. The report shows which names Google's AI gave on one day and what each clinic's website shows; a clinic missing from the answer may be excellent.
Why does the licence number matter?
Health authority rules require the medical advertising licence number on a clinic's official social accounts. A printed licence is also a checkable fact, and recommended clinics show one more often.
Can you check my clinic the same way?
Yes. Send your WhatsApp number and your clinic website and within 24 hours we show you which clinics AI names for your treatments today, and the plan to get yours recommended.

Next step

Get your aesthetic clinic recommended by AI within 90 days.

We put the 5 questions your customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Mode in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah, and show you which names come back today. Then we fix the pages, profiles and listings that decide the answer.

AED 2,000 a month, 3-month minimum as it takes time to show results. If AI is not naming you by day 90, you get every dirham back.

A few clients per industry in each city, spread across areas. Founder led. Dated proof every 30 days.
