Last fact-checked: 18 July 2020

Laser skin resurfacing in Pattaya will give you younger, fresher looking skin while on holiday in Thailand.

What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing? 

Layer by layer, the skin is effectively peeled off using a laser device revealing the fresh skin underneath; this will then grow smoother and relatively wrinkle-free over the following weeks. Laser treatment can be used to treat parts of the skin or the whole face. Your doctor will be able to decide how deep it should go for best results.

However, you need to consult a dermatologist to see if this procedure is suitable for your skin type or not, otherwise your skin can actually burn or blister and the treatment can cause more harm than good. For those prone to acne or who suffer from any auto-immune disorders, laser skin resurfacing should generally be avoided. This can be done in Thailand or before you fly by a local dermatologist. 

Why Consider Laser Skin Resurfacing in Pattaya?

Pattaya is a hugely popular holiday destination in its own right; if you are planning a trip to this Thai seaside city, it could make financial sense to take advantage of the low prices and undergo cosmetic treatment while you’re there. 

Most esthetic treatments are not covered by insurance and out of pocket expenses can be much higher than you can afford. In Pattaya, you will enjoy the benefit of reasonable prices, professional care and excellent medical facilities.

As a tourist spot, Pattaya is best known for its fun beach activities and infamous nightlife scene that now offers plenty of more upscale cocktail bars and clubs. If you are not a party person, Pattaya still has shopping, gardens and parks, museums, temples and waterparks.

Why Shouldn’t I Just Book on My Own?

Booking on your own can be risky. What if the doctors or technicians at the clinic you go to are not appropriately trained or credentialed? What if the place actually has a dubious reputation that their management has done well to cover-up? If you are particularly lured by package deal and promotion offers, you should at least be able to verify the details of the place and the doctors.

Booking through Medical Departures takes the pain and uncertainty out of the process. That is because we check out the qualifications, credentials, experience and skills of the doctors, the amenities available and safety procedures at the place and the fact that the staff can communicate in English. This gives you a safety net.

How Long Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Take and What Is the Estimated Recovery Time?

Different kinds of lasers and various skin problems require differing timeframes for laser treatment. However, most are over in about an hour. You will probably have some topical anesthesia put on your skin prior to treatment. If a large area is to be treated or the laser has to treat deeper layers of the skin, then you may need general anesthesia. 

The lasers used may be one or a combination of:

• Carbon Dioxide Laser

• Yag Laser 

• Variable Pulse Erbium Laser 

In most cases, you will be able to leave the facility once you feel well enough after resting for an hour or two afterward. 

You may experience swelling and redness after the procedure. You may require dressings or bandages in the case of deep laser skin treatment or need to apply protective creams on your skin. The approximate recovery time is around two weeks. During this time, you will need to stay out of the sun and take extra care as you may have scabs post the procedure. The new skin will take six to eight weeks to form.

What Is the Cost of Laser Resurfacing in Pattaya?

This cosmetic procedure can cost you between AUD 2,000 and AUD 4,500 for the full face in Australia. In Pattaya, you can pay as little as AUD 100 to AUD 300 per treatment.
