It's nothing to be alarmed about: She's the owner of BDC by Dr Orawan, a 20-year-old anti-ageing institute with two branches in Bangkok, and she just wants to make sure that all the equipment and treatments there are completely safe.
The laser treatments? "I've tried them all, so I should know what's best!" she says.
Orawan also handles all the clients' laser work herself, not wishing to risk an assistant accidentally singeing someone's skin. "Only a doctor should be doing it," she insists.
She's just jettisoned a colon-detoxification machine after hearing of a mishap overseas.
It is Orawan's commitment to stay up to date on the latest research and technology. He spa has been using a "quantum machine" for five years to measure the energy in individual body cells. It can spot signs of disease that medical check-ups might miss.
The next big thing, Orawan says, will be genetic medicine, and she's had an expert in the field on her team since May.
"It's the great hope for humankind," she says. "Many people believe we have a chance to cure cancer in the next two years."
BDC's second branch on Sukhumvit Soi 59 is in a single-detached house next to a pond, surrounded by mature trees. It looks like a resort, ideal for patient rehabilitation.
Its mission is to become one of the world's leading providers of innovative anti-ageing products and treatments that combine Thai and Western medical science.
In 2000 Orawan helped establish a world-class rejuvenation centre at Bangkok Phuket Hospital, and she assists the government in promoting Thai medical spas around the world.
Next she wants to collaborate with universities on a course for therapists, who are currently in short supply in the burgeoning spa business.
Orawan opened the Orawan Laser Skin Centre in 1988. In 2001 the facility moved to SCB Park Plaza West and was renamed BDC by Dr Orawan. The branch on Sukhumvit 59 opened in 2005.
