Thinking About GLP-1s for Weight Loss? Here’s Where to Start in Dubai

Let’s be real, losing weight isn’t always as simple as “eat less and move more.” If you’ve been struggling, or you’re curious about the new wave of GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro, Ozempic, or Wegovy, you’re not alone. These treatments are getting a lot of attention for good reason - they work. 

But more importantly, they’re proper medical treatments, not passing wellness trends, so they need to be handled with professional support. If you’re in Dubai and wondering where to start, we’ve rounded up a few great options (some of which the Raemona team has personally tried) that take the stress out of the process - from easy online consultations to expert-led clinical care.

// Valeo - All Online & Raemona-Approved

If convenience is top of your list (and honestly, same), Valeo is one of the easiest places to start. They offer a free online consultation to see if you’re a good fit for GLP-1 meds, and once approved, they handle everything from blood work at home to delivery of your prescription. Think Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, or tablets - whatever works best for you. It’s discreet, efficient, and ideal for anyone juggling a busy schedule.
