The spotlight dimmed, and a hush fell over the exclusive crowd of celebrities, dignitaries, and industry titans gathered at Yangon’s most prestigious venue. Then, ascending a luminous stairway adorned with cascading florals, Dr. Laurel emerged—resplendent in a gold-embroidered gown with magnificent golden wings extending from her shoulders. The theatrical moment, broadcast live to millions across Myanmar during PAN Aesthetics’ anniversary gala “Royal Tour to PAN Paradise,” wasn’t just performance art. It was a declaration: Myanmar’s aesthetic medicine had arrived on the global stage.
“That evening wasn’t about spectacle alone,” recalls one VIP attendee who witnessed the invitation-only celebration. “It was watching an entire industry transform before our eyes. When Dr. Laurel appeared with those wings, she wasn’t just representing beauty—she was embodying the elevation of an entire nation’s standards.”
The journey to that triumphant moment began in 2017, when Dr. Khaing Zabe Than—known professionally as Dr. Laurel—opened PAN Aesthetics with a radical vision. While Myanmar’s aesthetic industry was plagued by counterfeit products and inconsistent safety protocols, she insisted on implementing the same rigorous standards found in Beverly Hills or Geneva. “Patient safety cannot have different standards based on geography,” Dr. Laurel emphasizes. “The same rigorous protocols practiced in Switzerland are now the foundation of care in Myanmar.”
This wasn’t merely aspiration—it was revolution. Dr. Laurel pursued international certifications from the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine, implemented WHO-aligned sterilization protocols, and exclusively used FDA-approved products. In an industry where shortcuts were common, she chose the harder path of uncompromising excellence. Her clinic became the first in Myanmar to offer Hollywood Spectra Laser treatments from Cynosure Lutronic, Exion radiofrequency from BTL UK, and advanced HIFEM body contouring technology—innovations previously unavailable in the country.
The transformation required more than equipment. Dr. Laurel assembled a team of nearly thirty medical professionals, each trained to international benchmarks. Every dermal filler injection, every thread lift, every laser treatment follows protocols identical to those in leading global clinics. “Even with skill, if the products fall short of international standards, patients cannot get the safe, natural outcomes they deserve,” she explains, addressing the counterfeit product crisis that had undermined local trust.
Her philosophy centers on authentic beauty enhancement rather than artificial extremes. While some practitioners chase dramatic transformations, PAN Aesthetics focuses on subtle refinements that preserve individual character. This approach particularly resonates with Myanmar’s elite, including celebrity MC Thazin Nwe Win, who publicly praised her stem cell hydration treatment: “The result is immediately noticeable. After five days or a week, the area around the eyes looks even better.”
Recognition followed excellence. Dr. Laurel earned the Beauty and Health Influencer Award from Hall of Fame Singapore in 2023, the Celebrity Doctor Award from Global Aesthetics in 2024, and official Key Opinion Leader status for Cynosure Lutronic’s Hollywood Spectra Laser. Most recently, she received the prestigious Award for Excellence in Patient Safety and Authentic Beauty, cementing her position as Southeast Asia’s rising aesthetic medicine leader. “These awards are not just personal milestones,” Dr. Laurel reflects. “They are proof that Myanmar’s practitioners can meet—and even lead—in global excellence when we commit to the highest standards.”
Beyond clinical excellence, Dr. Laurel revolutionized how aesthetic medicine engages with society. She appears regularly on television, demystifying skincare science for mainstream audiences. Her clinic supports elderly homes, orphanages, and provides medicines to township medical offices, particularly helping expectant mothers from low-income backgrounds. This commitment to social responsibility distinguishes PAN Aesthetics from purely profit-driven competitors.
The clinic’s service portfolio spans from advanced dermal fillers and thread lifts to cutting-edge laser treatments addressing pigmentation, acne scarring, and skin rejuvenation. Their IV drip menu includes trendsetting NAD+ therapy for cellular regeneration and the Fit and Firm Drip for body sculpting support. Each treatment combines medical precision with luxury service, creating an experience that rivals international destinations.
What truly differentiates PAN Aesthetics is its unwavering commitment to transparency and ethics. In an industry often clouded by misleading promises, the clinic provides clear pricing, comprehensive consultations, and realistic outcome expectations. “Our philosophy is simple: enhance natural beauty, never compromise safety, and build trust that lasts a lifetime,” Dr. Laurel states.
The “Royal Tour to PAN Paradise” celebration marked more than an anniversary—it symbolized Myanmar’s aesthetic medicine evolution. The golden wings Dr. Laurel wore that evening represent the aspirations of countless individuals seeking confidence through safe, ethical beauty enhancement. As the clinic expands with planned locations across major Myanmar cities and continues investing in breakthrough technologies, its impact extends beyond individual transformations.
“This celebration is not just about PAN Aesthetics—it is about proving that Myanmar can lead with integrity and excellence on the global stage,” Dr. Laurel declared to the captivated audience that evening. Her words echo a larger truth: when vision meets uncompromising standards, transformation becomes inevitable.
