About the clinic
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) at YOUNIFY Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, is a non-surgical weight loss procedure performed by specialists trained at Harvard Medical School and Mayo Clinic. The method uses internal sutures to reduce stomach volume by about 70% without making any abdominal incisions. This approach helps patients lose around 15–20% of their total body weight within the first 12 months.
Advanced Endoscopic Stomach Tightening
ESG is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional bariatric surgery. A specialist performs the procedure through the mouth using an endoscope while the patient is under general anesthesia. The doctor places internal sutures to reshape the stomach into a narrow tube. This change helps you feel full much sooner during meals. Because the procedure involves no external cuts, patients avoid visible scars and reduce the risk of surgical complications.
Procedure and Rapid Recovery
The entire process at YOUNIFY Clinic typically takes between 60 and 120 minutes. Most patients qualify for same-day discharge, allowing them to recover in the comfort of their own space. Physical recovery is fast, with most people returning to light activities within a few days. The clinic uses equipment and devices that are US FDA approved for this specific stomach-tightening method.
Specialist Expertise in Bangkok
The medical team is led by Dr. Noppachai Siranart, who completed advanced research fellowships at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Mayo Clinic. Dr. Kittithat Tantitanawat also serves at the clinic, bringing expertise from a clinical fellowship in advanced gastrointestinal interventional endoscopy. These specialists focus on obesity and metabolic diseases to help patients who have not seen results from diet and exercise alone.
Candidate Criteria and Success
This procedure is suitable for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher. It is also an option for those with a BMI of 27 who face obesity-related health issues. To support long-term weight loss, the clinic provides a structured follow-up program. This includes nutritional guidance, hydration plans, and behavior monitoring to help you maintain your new weight. You can leave a request on Bookimed to learn more about the evaluation process for ESG.

YOUNIFY Clinic: more details about the clinic
Thailand, Bangkok
YOUNIFY Clinic is a physician-led Healthy Aging and Wellness Center in Bangkok. The clinic operates as a multi-specialty facility on Silom Road. The medical team provides coordinated care across weight management, chronic pain, and preventive health. This integrated model focuses on sustaining body function and mobility through non-surgical methods.
Academic Background and Founder Credentials
The clinic's mission is built on evidence-based medical standards and multidisciplinary planning. Founder Dr. Noppachai Siranart holds post-doctoral research fellowships from Brigham and Women's Hospital at Harvard Medical School and the Mayo Clinic. This academic foundation shapes the clinic's focus on advanced endoscopy and metabolic disease care.
Medical staff hold specialized certifications from Thai medical boards. Gastroenterology specialists have completed clinical fellowships in interventional endoscopy. The team includes surgeons and physicians trained at Mahidol and Thammasat University. This training supports the clinic's use of image-guided and endoscopic treatment pathways.
Weight Management and Metabolic Care
The clinic offers Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) as a primary weight-loss option. This procedure is performed through the mouth with no external abdominal incisions. It serves as a non-surgical alternative to standard bariatric operations. The care pathway includes health assessments and nutrition tracking over time.
Specialists also provide surgical bariatric options for patients who meet specific BMI and health criteria:
- Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
- Gastric bypass surgery
- Bariatric revision surgery (including APC and TORe)
- Gastric balloon placement
The weight management program incorporates medication, metabolic tracking, and behavioral follow-up. Surgical options typically require a hospital stay of 2–4 days. Every plan is adjusted based on long-term monitoring of hormone balance and weight markers.
Chronic Pain and Mobility Treatments
Pain medicine specialists use image-guided procedures to treat musculoskeletal joint issues. A key treatment is Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) for chronic knee pain. This procedure uses a 0.6 mm pinhole entry – no traditional incisions are needed. It is an outpatient treatment that does not require a hospital stay.
The clinic performs TransArterial MicroEmbolization (TAME) for various chronic joint conditions. Data indicates a 97% technical success rate for TAME procedures. Fewer than 0.5% of these patients require hospitalization after treatment. Specialists also offer minimally invasive options for chronic neck and back pain.
Gastroenterology and Preventive Screening
The digestive health department focuses on early detection of gastrointestinal diseases. Dr. Kittithat Tantitanawat leads this direction with a focus on interventional endoscopy. The department manages conditions such as gastritis and gastrointestinal polyps.
Preventive services include several screening and health checkup programs:
- Upper endoscopy and colonoscopy
- Athlete-specific health screenings
- Age-appropriate cancer screenings
- Annual vaccinations and checkups
Specialists also provide targeted care for women's health and menopause. These sessions address bone health, sleep disturbances, and hormonal changes. Each screening is planned based on the individual's age and lifestyle risks.
Services for International Patients
The clinic treats patients from worldwide locations and provides dedicated English-facing services. Patient coordinators assist in English, Thai, and Mandarin Chinese. All international patients receive a coordinated care plan that includes initial consultations and structured follow-up.

I researched many clinics in Thailand before choosing Younify Clinic for GAE treatment, and I’m very glad I did. Dr. Noppachai and his team were professional, attentive, and highly experienced. The clinic environment was modern and comfortable, and the procedure itself was much less painful than expected. Most importantly, my osteoarthritis knee pain improved substantially after treatment. Walking, standing, and daily activities are now much easier for me. Excellent option for people looking for non-surgical knee pain treatment in Bangkok.

I had been suffering from chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis for many years and was starting to think knee replacement surgery was my only option. After researching non-surgical knee pain treatments, I discovered Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) at Younify Clinic in Bangkok with Dr. Noppachai Siranart. From the very first consultation, Dr. Noppachai took the time to explain my condition, review my imaging carefully, and discus realistic expectations for treatment.
The GAE procedure itself was much easier than I expected, and the recovery was surprisingly smooth. Over the next several weeks, I noticed significant improvement in my knee pain, swelling, and stiffness. I can now walk longer distances, climb stairs more comfortably, and return to activities I had avoided for years.
If you are looking for a minimally invasive treatment for knee osteoarthritis in Thailand, I highly recommend Dr. Noppachai and the team at Younify Clinic. Their professionalism, advanced medical approach, and patient care truly stand out.

If you are looking for a non-surgical treatment for knee osteoarthritis, I highly recommend GAE treatment at Younify Clinic (Dr.Noppachai). Before treatment, I struggled with constant pain while walking and climbing stairs. The procedure itself was smooth and much easier than expected. Over the following months, my knee pain gradually improved and my quality of life became much better.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I rarely write Google reviews, but I felt I had to share my experience with Younify Clinic because it was genuinely that good.
I came in because I was dealing with ongoing knee pain, mainly due to my higher body weight, and it was really starting to impact my daily activities.
What stood out immediately was how the doctors approached my case holistically. Instead of just treating the knee pain, they helped me understand the root cause and recommended a combination of Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) for pain relief and ESG (endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty) for stomach tightening to support weight loss. The doctors are clearly very experienced in GAE and ESG, and they took the time to explain everything thoroughly, which gave me a lot of confidence.
It’s honestly not easy to find a clinic or hospital in Thailand that specializes in both ESG and GAE. For someone like me, dealing with both weight and knee pain, this was exactly what I needed—it really felt like solving two problems at once.
On top of that, the staff were incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire process. I felt well taken care of from consultation to follow-up.
I highly recommend Younify Clinic to anyone dealing with knee pain—whether it’s related to weight, aging, or other causes. Truly an outstanding 5-star experience!
