More is available on Koh Phangan than most visitors expect — you just have to know where to look.
What aesthetic treatments are available on Koh Phangan? Doctor-led clinics on the island offer injectables (Botox and dermal filler), skin tightening with HIFU and radiofrequency, thread lifts, laser hair removal, skin boosters and biostimulators, and wellness treatments such as IV drips.
Injectable treatments
Botox
Botox softens movement lines on the forehead, frown and around the eyes, and is also used for jaw slimming and excessive sweating. The Cleveland Clinic describes it relaxing targeted muscles temporarily.
Dermal filler
Dermal fillers restore volume and shape — lips, cheeks, chin, jawline and folds — with immediate, reversible results when hyaluronic acid is used.
Skin tightening and lifting
Energy-based options
HIFU uses focused ultrasound for deeper lifting, while Thermage uses radiofrequency for surface laxity — both with essentially no downtime.
Thread lifts
A thread lift repositions sagging tissue for an immediate lift, with a few days of recovery.
Skin quality treatments
Skin boosters
Injectable skin boosters improve hydration, elasticity and glow without adding volume — well suited to skin dehydrated by sun and air-conditioning.
- Skin boosters for hydration and glow
- Polynucleotides for texture and repair
- Biostimulators for gradual collagen rebuild
- Facials and superficial skin treatments
Biostimulators
Biostimulators such as Sculptra prompt your own collagen for gradual, natural rejuvenation over months.
Laser and hair removal
Laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is available on the island, needing a course of six to eight sessions weeks apart — better suited to residents and long stays.
Sun considerations
Island sun affects laser scheduling, so plan around beach time — see laser and sun exposure.

Wellness treatments
IV drips
IV drip therapy is offered as a wellness treatment and, like any medical treatment, should follow a consultation rather than being chosen from a menu.
Assessment matters
Wellness treatments are medical, so your health and suitability should be reviewed first.
What suits a short stay versus a course
Fits a visit
Botox, filler, a single skin booster session, and HIFU or radiofrequency all suit shorter stays with minimal downtime.

Safety and consultation
Aesthetic treatment is a medical procedure and, like any aesthetic treatment, carries some risk — common temporary effects can include redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness, and less common reactions are possible. Results vary from person to person, and no specific outcome can be promised. This article is general information, not medical advice.
At LIV Clinic, every treatment begins with an in-person assessment by Dr. Narathai Vichienkalayarut, M.D., who reviews your skin, medical history and goals before recommending a personalized plan. Book a consultation to find out whether this treatment suits you.
