Globally Recognized: Thai Hair Transplant Specialist Leading Efforts to Elevate Thailand as a Regional Medical Hub
Thai hair transplant medicine continues to gain international attention as Dr. Ben Butwong, widely known as “Dr. Ben” and founder of Mediren Clinic, steps onto the global stage to share her expertise and help advance the capabilities of hair transplant physicians across Asia.
Recently, Dr. Ben was invited as a guest speaker and trainer at the annual meeting of the Indonesian Society of Dermatology (PERDOSKI), held in Bali, Indonesia. She delivered an in-depth lecture on Long Hair FUE, a technique she has practiced, refined, and taught for many years.
Her participation as an invited lecturer reinforces her role as a regional leader in Hair Transplant Thailand, while also providing a valuable opportunity to expand academic collaboration and improve medical technologies within the Southeast Asian hair restoration community. During the conference, Dr. Ben also held important discussions with the President of PERDOSKI regarding future cooperative activities to further enhance physician training and regional medical development.
Driving Thai Hair Transplant Medicine Toward Becoming a Medical Hub
With more than 15 years of continuous experience, Dr. Ben Butwong has long been trusted by patients from both Thailand and abroad. She is considered a pioneer in adapting hair transplant techniques specifically to Asian hair and scalp characteristics. Her recurring invitations as a guest speaker at international conferences reflect the recognition she has earned within the global medical community.
Dr. Ben stated her vision clearly:
“I aim to drive Thai hair transplant medicine toward international standards and support Thailand in becoming Asia’s Medical Hub for Hair Transplantation.”
This vision is rooted in the success of the FUE ASIA Conference & Workshop 2024, held at The Berkeley Hotel Bangkok last August. The event marked a turning point for Thailand’s hair transplant industry, receiving extensive attention from medical professionals both domestically and internationally.
Elevating the Image of Thai Hair Transplant Specialists
As chairperson of the conference, Dr. Ben emphasized the importance of elevating Thailand’s standards in the field. The event brought together specialists from public and private sectors nationwide, along with experts from more than ten countries across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
One of the key highlights was the Live Surgery Workshop, held at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. This session provided hands-on learning for both Thai and international doctors—an essential step towards strengthening Thailand’s position as a future center of excellence in hair transplantation. The event also received official support from the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), reinforcing the important role of Hair Transplant Thailand in promoting the country’s medical tourism sector.
Dr. Ben is also widely recognized for her expertise in FUE Megasession and Long Hair FUE, techniques requiring consistency, precision, and a deep understanding of individual follicular structures. Known regionally as Dr. Ben Butwong—and previously as Dr. Benjawan Butwong—she continues to play a pivotal role in training future generations of physicians in Thailand. Through Mediren Clinic, she has built a longstanding reputation that continues to earn patient trust.
From the success of FUE ASIA 2024 to her involvement at PERDOSKI 2025, Dr. Ben’s contributions showcase her commitment to strengthening the global presence of Thai hair transplant specialists. Her leadership reflects the strong potential of Hair Transplant Thailand as the country moves toward becoming a stable and influential medical hub in Asia.
