According to research by MasterCard, Bangkok is the most visited city in the world. In pre-Covid times, the big mango was visited by approximately 22 million tourists each year. Bangkok is also one of the favourite destinations for many people to seek out affordable cosmetic procedures, from Botox to injectable fillers and much more.
However, finding a reputable provider in the city with (possibly) more beauty clinics than 7-Elevens (and if you’ve been to Bangkok, you know there are a lot of 7-Elevens) is not such an easy task. New clinics are seemingly popping up all the time, and due to intense competition, the use of poorly trained personnel as well as substandard black-market products is not uncommon.
With that said, we have put together this list of places that offer beauty treatments in Bangkok, handpicked for their high standards and professionalism.
Avela Clinique
Avela Clinique offers a variety of beauty and anti-aging treatments, with a special focus on Ultherapy and Botox. The name of the clinic comes from the Pali, a classical language of Theravada Buddhism. In Pali “a” means “no” and “vela” means “time”. Therefore, it literally means “having no time” or “timeless”.
Ultherapy is one of the latest non-surgical skin tightening and lifting treatments that has been growing in popularity recently. The treatment uses focused ultrasound energy to tighten and firm your skin. Areas that can be treated with Ultherapy include the chin, brow, chest and neck.
The clinic only uses globally guaranteed original medical equipment and all treatments are administered by friendly, highly trained personnel. The resident physician, Dr. Teaw, has received certifications from Harvard Medical School and American Board in Laser Cosmetic Surgery, and speaks excellent English. Avela Clinique is located at Suan Plern market on Rama 4 Road. The nearest BTS station is Thong Lor.
Malika Clinic
Malika Clinic by Dr. Ben was founded on the principle that confidence leads to success. Being confident and feeling good about ourselves, both inside and out, helps create new opportunities and bring them into life.
The clinic specialises in cosmetic dermatology and facial treatments for skin conditions such as acne and acne scars. Treatment options include laser resurfacing, blue BioLight therapy, vitamin injections and special healing face masks using the clinic’s own formula of ingredients. A wide range of anti-aging treatments, such as HIFU, Botox and dermal fillers, are also available.
The resident physician, Dr. Benjamaporn Muangthip (“Dr. Ben”), is a member of the Dermatological Society of Thailand and has extensive experience treating patients with various skin issues. She offers daily English-speaking consultations with an individualised treatment plan. Malika Clinic is located in Lad Phrao district, approximately 4 km from Lad Phrao MRT station.
Rejuvet Clinic
Rejuvet Clinic is Thailand’s premier destination for feminine beauty solutions. The clinic specialises in ThermiVa non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation – a USFDA approved non-surgical “feminine rejuvenation” treatment that uses proven radio-frequency technology to tighten vaginal skin that may have been loosened by pregnancy or aging.
Rejuvet Clinic takes great pride in being a modern and innovative service provider that helps women reveal their inner beauty and employs a team of specialist doctors who treat their patients with professionalism and empathy. As a testament to their success, the clinic was chosen Thailand’s top treatment provider by ThermiVa for two years running from 2019 and 2020.
More than 3000 women trust Rejuvet Clinic every year to make them feel more confident from the inside out. The clinic is conveniently situated on Wireless Road in central Bangkok. The nearest BTS station is Ploenchit.
Chrio Clinic
Chrio Clinic offers a range of anti-aging therapies, including stem cell therapy, IV vitamin treatments and DNA testing. The clinic believes that true beauty and self-care starts from within. When your internal systems are functioning well, it will reflect on your skin, hair, nails and overall physical appearance.
The clinic’s resident physician, Dr. Pornchanok (“Dr. Nok”) is certified by the American Academy of Anti-aging Medicine and holds a fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine from Dhurakij Pundit University and College of Integrative Medicine.
The clinic also offers food allergy testing, vitamin D deficiency testing and even a testosterone checkup for men. There are two branches in Bangkok. One is in Bangna, near Suvarnabhumi airport, and another one within walking distance from Punnawithi BTS.
Over to You
In conclusion, all the clinics mentioned above offer a variety of safe and effective beauty treatments. Of course, we still recommend doing your own research before embarking on a treatment of your choice. One thing worth bearing in mind is that Bangkok is a very big city, and therefore it’s always a good idea to check how far the clinic’ is from where you are staying, as well as your transport options.
And there’s certainly no harm in calling or messaging the clinic for advice. Any reputable clinic would be able to advise on the products and brands they use and be attentive to your needs rather than just trying to sell you things you don’t really need. Once you’ve found a clinic that feels right, book a consultation with the doctor and make sure you’re on the same page before going ahead with your treatment.
