A Thai television campaign from earlier this year shows the all-male Korean pop band B1A4 basking in the adoration of their female fans before retiring to their nearest Wuttisak clinic.
Technicians wave surgical wands over their bodies and the young men gaze admiringly at the apparent transformation of their skin into a flawless white lustre.
In recent years, Asian men have made up an increasing portion of the beauty industry’s customer base.
Nivea launched the first skin-whitening product targeted exclusively to Asian men in 2005, a time where the cosmetic industry’s global growth strategy was focused on increasing its market share among men.
French cosmetics giant L’Oreal’s $1.1 billion first quarter results in Asia accounted for 20 per cent of the company’s global sales, a result the company partially attributes to the success of it’s Men’s Expert line in the region.
According to Reuters, male skin-care product sales rose 17 per cent worldwide last year to $2.4 billion.
While only a fraction of the $97 billion global skin-care market, more than 80 per cent of this growth occurred in Asia.
A report by Euromonitor International found that men’s health and beauty merchandise sales in China are already level with the North American market and are expected to grow five times more rapidly in the years ahead.
In Phnom Penh, the trend is echoed at the Tonle Bassac branch of Wuttisak, a Thai-owned skin whitening, anti-ageing and acne removal clinic that bases most of its treatments on laser surgery.
Opening in January this year, and since joined by the opening of a second branch in nearby Boeung Keng Kang, after five months of operation the clinic is seeing a strong trade from Cambodian men.
“We get about a hundred customers per day, half of them are men,” says Lim Sophorn, a 26-year-old consultant at Wuttisak. “Some of them are recurring customers who come to our clinic a few times per week.”

Sam Heang has billion of dollars, she will kill a pretty girl and peel the skin to replace her cancer skin.
Mi Jrouk does not know how to dress at all. She looks so Samrae no matter what color or gold or diamond she wears. Samrae enters the city looks dress like a mad.

This photo is not new.
The recent photos show Mi Jrouk's forehead looks lumpy as a result of too Botox injection to reduce her wrinkles.
I like my brown rice skin. Its natural. Come on people, stop being stupid, change your heart instead. I hate fake people. OK, I really mean it. You know what---people are being led to be slaughter by way of ill fate in later life. You are being poison if you accept every cosmatic fangle to make yourself.... Hmmm, I can't find me a brownie to marry.
