2. As in many countries, Dermatology is
a highly-developed field of medicine in
Thailand. Skilled, often Western-trained
doctors employ the latest techniques in
modern stand-alone clinics, and in both
private and public hospitals. And,
dermatologists do a brisk business in
the Land of Smiles, where professional
skin care is extremely popular with Thai
people who place a high priority on
taking care of themselves and looking
good. As a result of this popularity,
dermatology centers abound in
Thailand, making it a top medical
tourism destination for anyone seeking
skin-care treatment with excellent
results and affordable prices.

3. In fact, medical travelers can expect to save as much
as 75% off what they would pay for dermatological
care in the West. And for patients from other
Southeast Asian countries, the quality of care, array
of options, and availability in Thailand is frequently
better than what they can get at home.

Introduction
5. Aside from the fact that there is an abundance of
dermatology clinics, what makes Thailand such an
attractive destination for skin-care procedures? For
one thing, this kind of treatment is highly compatible
with the travel aspect of medical tourism, as
appointments are usually done on an
out-patient basis with few side
effects and little in terms of
recovery time. Consider the
prospects: facial rejuvenation
treatment mid-morning,
a tour of Bangkok’s wonderful
historic temples that afternoon.

A TOP CHOICE FOR DERMATOLOGY?
And, Thailand’s leading hospitals - which
often include dermatology facilities - meet
or even exceed the highest of Western
standards, and many stand-alone clinics
are famous for their specialization in certain
areas. For example, in the Asia-Pacific
region, Apex Profound Beauty has been
the #1 provider of Botox treatments for
eight years running, performed the most
Thermage procedures two other years, and
received a coveted award recognizing their
high success rates in Ulthera treatments in
2010. Also, Siam Laser has received
awards in excellence for their expert
implementation of Fraxel - the advanced
skin reproduction procedure, VASER
LipoSelection, and Botox injections.APEX Profound Beauty
7. In Thailand the standards are high, but
the costs are not. Dermatology clinics
all over the country - especially in tourist
destinations like Bangkok, Phuket,
Chiang Mai, and Pattaya - offer top-notch
service for all kinds of treatments at
unbeatable prices from respected,
often award-winning doctors. In fact,
there are actually over 500 physicians
practicing in Thai medical facilities who
are American Board Certified. For
Westerners, particularly Americans who
are dealing with increasing healthcare
costs at home, this is a real boon.

9. POPULAR DERMATOLOGICAL
TREATMENTS IN THAILAND
For medical tourists, the most
common dermatology treatments
include Skin Resurfacing by
microdermabrasion and chemical
peel, Age Defying Treatments like
injectable dermal fillers or platelet
rich plasma (PRP), Non-surgical
Facelifts using various new
technologies, and Cellulite
Removal. These are all on offer in
Thailand, where state-of-the-art
clinics can accommodate any
medical traveler’s skin-care
“needs”

10. Age-Defying Treatments
One way to regain a youthful
appearance is through Facial Dermal
Fillers, which are injections of natural
or synthetic materials intended to
“plump up” frown lines and wrinkles.
There are several kinds of injectable
fillers available in Thailand including
Collagen, Hydroxylapatite, Hyaluronic
Acid, Autologous Fat Grafting, and
PMMA which is used when longer-
lasting results are desired. Dermal
fillers are one of the most popular and
effective treatments for reducing or
correcting the effects of ageing.

11. Skin Resurfacing
Treatments include CO2 or Erbium
Laser Resurfacing for the removal of
acne scars and wrinkles; Fraxel Laser
Treatment (FLT), which is a recent
breakthrough in the fight to restore aged
and sun-damaged skin to its youthful
appearance; Microdermabrasion, which
involves refreshing the skin through
gentle abrasion and suction
simultaneously in an effort to correct
fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and dull
skin; and Iontophoresis (a technique
where electrically charged ions deliver
chemicals through the skin) and
Phonophoresis (using ultrasound to
improve the absorption of medicine
applied directly to the skin) to promote
facial rejuvenation, reduce melasma or
hyper-pigmentation, and combat post-
acne redness.

12. Non-surgical Facelift Procedures
For medical tourists looking to completely renew
their countenance, but who are unsure about
committing to facelift surgery, there are several
non-surgical options to consider. Non-surgical
facelifts are performed in a variety of ways. One is
called Thermage, which is a completely non-
invasive technique that uses radio-frequency
therapy to raise sagging or loose skin. Another is
Ulthera. It gradually tightens and tones the face
and neck with ultrasound, the ultrasonic waves
penetrating into muscle tissue to form new
collagen and lift loose, sagging skin. Finally, Botox
is a well-known treatment for the reduction of
wrinkles, frown lines, and crow’s feet, and is now
being used for lifting brows and opening up the
eyes for a “lift” effect. These non-invasive cosmetic
procedures can help restore your youthful
appearance with no surgery whatsoever.

13. Weight Loss and Cellulite Reduction
As in the West, many dermatologists in Thailand specialize in
cellulite removal. Cellulite can be unsightly, on young and old
bodies alike, and there are several ways to treat it. Mesotherapy was
developed to treat inflammatory skin conditions by injecting vitamins and
minerals into the tissue just beneath the skin.
It turns out that this process breaks down fat and reduces the
appearance of cellulite. CoolSculpting by Zeltiq (pronounced “Zel’teek”)
is regarded as the most effective non-surgical cellulite removal in
Thailand. It is known as “Freeze Liposuction” in some places due to its
freezing of fat cells to ensure their destruction, and it does no harm to
any other cells during or after the procedure. Zerona is a body-
contouring procedure that removes excess fat non-surgically by low-
level cold-laser technology that allows fatty material to exit cells and be
excreted from the body naturally.APEX Profound Beauty

many excellent skin-care clinics
in Thailand include Facial Revival
& Nourishment, Skin Lightening
and Color Correction, Skin Pores
Tightening, Acne Cure and
Treatment, Scar and Blemish
Removal, Hair Implantation,
and Permanent Hair Removal.

16. For most people it goes without saying
that The City of Angels is a teeming,
quintessentially Asian metropolis. The
exciting, modern capital of Thailand
offers visitors just about anything they
could desire, from nightlife to shopping
to rich history, and nowadays that
includes top-notch medical care in
world-class healthcare facilities at big-
time savings to what most Westerners
pay at home.
For medical tourists seeking skin-care
treatments, Bangkok offers an endless
selection of clinics and procedures to
choose from.
BANGKOK
17. Located 700km northwest of Bangkok,
Chiang Mai is the culturally-rich Northern
capital, with over 300 ornate Buddhist
temples, a busy arts scene, outstanding
handicrafts shopping, delicious Northern-
style cuisine, and close-proximity to many
natural splendors like majestic Doi Suthep
mountain and a variety of strikingly
beautiful waterfalls. For visitors, many chic
Thai-style boutique hotels have emerged in
Chiang Mai, as have numerous top-flight
medical clinics and hospitals. In the area of
dermatology, several modern skin-care
clinics specialize in all facets of facial-
rejuvenation and hair and cellulite removal.
CHIANG MAI
18. HUA HIN
Simply put, this is a beach town, but
it is sophisticated in its own special way. Close
enough to BKK to feel near the action (about
150km south of the capital), but far enough away
to ensure you’re out of the city environs, Hua Hin
is known for its laid-back pace and pristine
beaches, and it is home to several exclusive
Health & Wellness resorts,
some of which incorporate
dermatological treatments into their
rejuvenating spa packages. This
provides overseas guests with the
ultimate in medical tourism: medical
care, spa, and beach all in one shot.Chiva-Som International Health Resort
19. KOH SAMUI
Fly to gorgeous Koh Samui from Bangkok in under an hour and experience gentle ocean
breezes, white sand, and lush tropical gardens during your healthcare holiday. This is truly
an island that has something for everyone, of all budgets, and that holds true for healthcare,
too. Several clinics on Koh Samui provide laser treatments and a host of other procedures
for improving your skin’s vitality, a perfect complement to a laid-back beach holiday.
Anantara Bophut Resort & Spa
20. PATTAYA
Another beach nearby Bangkok is Pattaya, but it
couldn’t be any more different from Hua Hin. The
basics are similar, in that there’s sand and sun and
beachside fun for everyone, but Pattaya is about the
nightlife, and it’s a scene to behold. It’s a place to
indulge the hedonistic side of your personality and
really let loose. At the same time, it is modern and
provides a comfortable home for countless Westerners
who have found paradise.
Consequently, the hospitals and
clinics there are second-to-none
in Thailand, and feature many
dermatology centers for locals
and medical tourists alike.
21. PHUKET
The crown jewel of Thailand’s beach
destinations, Phuket is a getaway like no
other. It attracts people from all walks of
life with its blend of relaxing Thai resorts
and cosmopolitan lifestyle, and the
stunning ocean views just keep coming
and coming.
Visit Patong Beach for a Pattaya-like party
vibe, Phuket town for the markets and old-
school shops, or any of the island’s less-
traveled beaches for an unforgettable,
heavenly vacation. Like Bangkok, Phuket
is modern and developed, and as such
offers just about any kind of medical
tourism treatments that you’d desire,
including a wide array of skin-care and
derma-spa options.
