Beauty clinics harness tech for new surgeries
Beauty clinics in Thailand are differentiating themselves by incorporating the latest technology to meet client needs, according to a dermatologist.
Competition in the Thai beauty industry is expected to continue growing this year, with a projected market value of 76.5 billion baht, representing 2.8% year-on-year growth, driven by a greater number of clients and rising treatment costs, said Dr Nicha Kaewprasom, a board-certified dermatologist at Eleven i Clinic.
She said several beauty clinics are looking for ways to differentiate themselves in this highly competitive market.
Among these clinics, EndoliftX technology has become a revolutionary laser treatment for lifting and tightening skin, as well as reducing fat, she said.
This non-surgical, non-anaesthesia, and scarless procedure utilises a micro-optical fibre to deliver laser energy into the skin, she added.
Dr Nicha noted that this technology offers a remarkable alternative for facelifts and options for body contouring.
As one of the first medical teams in Thailand to try EndoliftX technology, she said she had found this to be a revolutionary and highly effective method in treating skin laxity and fat melting, especially in some specific areas where traditional methods are not addressed.
Dr Nicha has played a role in developing protocols and treatment procedures designed to suit the skin structure of Asians, which differs from that of Westerners in terms of the condition and its responsiveness to laser energy.
She said Thailand is currently the leader in EndoliftX technology in Asia because it is the first country to have seriously implemented it and achieved effective results for many patients.
