In , aesthetic medicine is moving beyond the pursuit of looking younger. At The Demis Clinic (The Demis Clinic), co-founder and lead dermatologist Dr Dissapong “Joe” Panithaporn (Dissapong Panithaporn , M.D.) is part of a growing movement towards a more considered approach—one centred on skin health, prevention and results that still look unmistakably like you.

For Dr Joe, the philosophy is personal. Having struggled with severe acne himself when he was younger, he saw first-hand how much healthier skin can influence confidence and wellbeing. After graduating from Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, and completing his Diploma in Dermatology at Thailand’s Institute of Dermatology, he went on to build a practice that brings together medical dermatology and aesthetics, with an emphasis on precision, subtlety and long-term skin quality. Here, Dr Joe discusses the evolution of Thai aesthetics, why international patients are travelling to Bangkok for treatment, and why the future of beauty may have less to do with looking younger—and more to do with ageing better.

Weight-loss and fitness retreats have long been a staple of wellness travel: a week or two of structured nutrition, training and treatments, with results you could see on the scales. GLP-1 medications are changing that picture. As of May 2026, 21% of US households included a current GLP-1 user, up from 9% in January 2025, according to PwC analysis of Numerator data.
