Apparel Group, a renowned global leader in retail and lifestyle, is delighted to announce the opening of Dao Clinic in Dubai—a groundbreaking dermatology and aesthetic care centre that promises to redefine the beauty industry across the Middle East. This marks a major milestone in the company’s continued pursuit of excellence, as it expands its reach into new sectors, raising the bar for wellness and beauty in the region.
The new clinic is the result of a visionary partnership between two remarkable women—Sima Ganwani Ved, Founder and Chairwoman of Apparel Group, and Sham Al Zahabi, Founder of Dao. Both have a shared passion for empowering women, which has shaped their collaboration. Dao Clinic’s mission is to help women reveal and enhance their inner beauty, offering innovative treatments grounded in the power of science and holistic wellness.
Dao Clinic will feature a highly skilled team of dermatologists, nutritionists, and facial experts who will provide a range of advanced services. From personalised nutrition consultations and vitamin infusions to specialised aesthetic treatments like facials, hair therapies, and body contouring, the clinic is designed to cater to every aspect of wellness and beauty. The state-of-the-art technology and expertise at Dao will bring a new level of sophistication to the region’s beauty landscape.
Commenting on the opening, Sima Ganwani Ved shared her excitement about the partnership with Sham Al Zahabi and the Dao Clinic concept. “Partnering with Sham and Dao is more than just an expansion of Apparel Group’s portfolio. When I saw Sham speak at Forbes Middle East, her passion for science and her approach to beauty as something deeper than aesthetics truly resonated with me. She spoke about beauty as a science, and her dedication to formulating transformative experiences for women inspired me. That’s when the vision truly began to take shape.”
Sham Al Zahabi, too, spoke highly of the partnership, expressing her admiration for Sima. “When I had the privilege of meeting the remarkable Sima Ved and listened to her speak, I saw a self-made, pioneering leader who built an empire with unwavering determination and grace—a true household name in female entrepreneurship. Her commitment to every aspect of her life is truly inspiring. I have immense respect and admiration for her, and the fact that she shared my vision for Dao and its potential within Apparel Group makes this partnership even more meaningful and exciting.”
The collaboration between these two trailblazing women reflects their shared values of empowerment and innovation, with the aim of providing women with the tools they need to make informed choices about their beauty and wellness. Dao Clinic will offer a comprehensive approach to skin health, beauty treatments, and overall well-being—blending science with art to create personalised, life-enhancing experiences for its clients.
As the clinic opens its doors to clients across Dubai, it is set to become a key destination for anyone seeking world-class dermatological care and aesthetic treatments. Dao Clinic is not just about beauty on the surface; it’s about helping people feel their best, inside and out.
