Personalized Weight Loss Programs Supervised by Physicians
At Polyclinic.ae, our physicians support patients of all body types — from mild excess weight to obesity. Every program begins with a thorough medical assessment, including blood tests, hormonal and metabolic profiling, and calculation of BMI (Body Mass Index). This helps identify the underlying cause of weight gain, whether it is insulin resistance, metabolic imbalance, hormonal changes, genetics, or lifestyle factors.
Based on diagnostic results, a personalized treatment plan is created. It may include medical therapy (for example, new-generation medications such as Mounjaro, Ozempic, or Wegovy) or a non-pharmacological program that focuses on nutrition, lifestyle adjustment, and physical activity.
Our doctors monitor all stages of treatment, ensuring the safe and gradual reduction of weight. They guide patients through medication use, nutritional changes, and habit formation, helping achieve sustainable results without harming health.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What tests are required before starting the program?
-
We perform a complete evaluation, including blood count, biochemistry, hormone testing, glucose and insulin levels, and lipid profile. This helps identify the cause of weight gain and determine a safe treatment plan.
- What is BMI and why is it important?
-
BMI (Body Mass Index) measures the ratio between height and weight to determine whether excess weight is present and how it affects health. Our doctors evaluate BMI alongside lab results and lifestyle factors to design the right approach.
- Can weight be reduced with medication?
-
Yes. Modern medications such as Mounjaro, Ozempic, and Wegovy help regulate appetite and control blood sugar levels. However, they are prescribed only after thorough evaluation and under strict medical supervision.
- What does a non-medicated program include?
-
It is designed individually and may include tailored nutrition, physical activity guidance, and behavioral adjustments. For many patients, these lifestyle programs are highly effective, especially at early stages.
- Are weight loss medications safe?
-
Yes — when prescribed and monitored properly. Our physicians ensure safe dosing, monitor blood tests, and track overall health during treatment.
- How fast can I lose weight?
-
We prioritize gradual, sustainable weight loss — about 0.5 to 1 kg per week — which is the safest rate for maintaining long-term results.
- Can I maintain my weight after completing the program?
-
Yes. Our physicians help patients develop new eating and activity habits to maintain results long-term. Follow-up or maintenance therapy may be recommended if needed.
- Do you accept insurance?
-
Yes. Polyclinic.ae works with most insurance providers directly. Some diagnostics and treatments may be covered under your plan.
