APEX Medical Center — Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery Across Thailand
With 13 clinics across Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket, APEX is a world leader in Thermage. Founded by Dr. Nantapat (American Board of Dermatology), the network features 20 doctors specialising in dermatology, cosmetic surgery, and anti-ageing.
About APEX Medical Center
APEX Medical Center was established by Dr. Nantapat Supapannachart, whose credentials set the foundation for the entire network. Dr. Nantapat holds certification from the American Board of Dermatology — one of the most rigorous dermatology certifications in the world — and brought this international standard-setting approach to Thailand.
From a single clinic, APEX has grown into a 13-location network spanning Thailand's three most popular destinations for international patients: Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket. This geographic spread means patients can receive APEX's standard of care regardless of where they choose to stay for their procedure and recovery.
APEX's core strength lies at the intersection of dermatology and cosmetic surgery. Where many cosmetic surgery providers focus purely on surgical interventions, APEX's dermatological foundation means the team approaches aesthetic concerns with a comprehensive understanding of skin biology, healing, and long-term skin health. This is particularly valuable for patients seeking facial rejuvenation, skin resurfacing, scar treatment, or anti-ageing therapies.
The network's position as a global leader in Thermage — the FDA-approved radiofrequency skin-tightening treatment — has drawn patients from across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Australia who seek APEX's specific expertise in this technology.

Accreditations and Standards
APEX Medical Center holds specialist accreditations that distinguish it within the dermatology and cosmetic medicine field:
AMA
American Medical Association recognition reflecting APEX's adherence to American medical standards and continuing education requirements.
ISD
International Society of Dermatology membership and accreditation from the global dermatology standards body.
AAD
American Academy of Dermatology affiliation, confirming adherence to evidence-based dermatological practice.
These accreditations are different in nature from the JCI hospital accreditations held by our other partner facilities, but they are equally meaningful within the dermatology and aesthetic medicine context. They confirm that APEX operates according to the same evidence-based, quality-controlled standards expected of leading dermatology centres in the United States.
Our Surgeons
APEX employs a team of 20 doctors spanning dermatology, cosmetic surgery, and aesthetic medicine:
Dr. Nantapat Supapannachart
Founder and Medical Director
Board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology, Dr. Nantapat is one of the most internationally credentialed dermatologists in Thailand. His vision shaped APEX's clinical philosophy, and he continues to oversee the network's medical standards, training protocols, and treatment approaches.
The broader team includes board-certified dermatologists, plastic surgeons certified by the Royal College of Surgeons of Thailand, and aesthetic medicine practitioners. This multidisciplinary composition allows APEX to offer holistic treatment plans that integrate surgical, non-surgical, and dermatological approaches.
With 20 doctors across 13 locations, APEX ensures that specialist expertise is available at every clinic, not concentrated in a single flagship location.
Facilities and Patient Experience
APEX's multi-location model offers a patient experience distinct from traditional hospital settings:
13 Clinic Locations
Clinics across Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket mean patients can access APEX's care wherever they are staying. Each location maintains the same equipment standards and treatment protocols.
Specialist Treatment Rooms
Purpose-built rooms for laser treatments, Thermage, injectable procedures, and consultations, equipped with the latest technology in each modality.
Surgical Facilities
Fully equipped operating rooms at key locations for cosmetic surgery procedures, meeting the safety and sterility standards required by APEX's accrediting bodies.
Walk-In Flexibility
APEX's clinic model allows greater scheduling flexibility than a hospital setting, with same-day or next-day appointments often available for consultations and non-surgical treatments.

Location and Getting There
APEX's 13-clinic network spans Thailand's three most popular international patient destinations:
Bangkok
Multiple APEX clinics across Bangkok, including locations in the city's premier shopping and business districts. Easily accessible by BTS Skytrain, MRT metro, and Grab ride-hailing. Proximity to Bangkok's two international airports (Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang) provides convenient access for arriving and departing patients.
Pattaya
APEX clinics in Pattaya serve patients who choose this coastal city as their treatment base. Pattaya is approximately 90 minutes from Suvarnabhumi International Airport, offering a more relaxed seaside environment combined with full urban amenities.
Phuket
APEX's Phuket presence allows patients recovering on the island to access dermatological treatments, non-surgical procedures, and follow-up care without travelling to Bangkok.
Geographic Flexibility
This geographic flexibility is particularly valuable for patients combining APEX treatments with procedures at other hospitals in our network — for example, having cosmetic surgery at a Bangkok hospital and follow-up skin treatments at a Phuket APEX clinic during the recovery holiday.
