International patient guide

Physician-led aesthetic care in Bangkok

What international patients can verify before choosing a Bangkok aesthetic clinic: facility, physician, product, consent and aftercare.

01

Facts stated by Waleerat Clinic's current public pages

These are clinic-published facts, not independent awards or outcome claims. The linked official registers below let you make separate checks.

  • The clinic states that it was established in 2013 and currently lists its location at Siam Square One, 2F, 226/1 Rama I Road, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330.
  • The current international site lists daily hours of 11:00-19:00. Confirm the appointment time directly before travelling because older official pages have shown different hours.
  • The doctors page lists Dr. Waleerat Thaweebanchongsin as Founder and Medical Director, with an M.D. from Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, and Thai Medical Council licence 41613.
  • The clinic's public pages describe physician assessment before treatment selection and state that invasive procedures are performed by licensed Thai physicians.

Three records to check independently

A polished website is not a licence check. Verify the facility, the treating physician and the exact product or device as separate records.

1. Facility

Ask for the clinic's full registered name and current facility licence. Match the displayed address to the place you will actually attend.

Use the Department of Health Service Support guidance ↗

2. Treating physician

Ask for the physician's full legal name and Thai Medical Council licence number. Confirm who will assess you and who will perform the procedure.

3. Product or device

Ask for the exact product or device name, Thai label or record, and traceable lot details where applicable. Registration categories differ, so use the status shown in the official record rather than one general label.

03

Physician-led does not mean menu-led

A physician-led consultation begins with your goals, anatomy, health history and previous treatment. A named procedure should follow that assessment, not replace it. You should be able to ask about alternatives, material or device details, realistic limits, risks, recovery and follow-up before consenting.

A useful consultation sequence

  1. Share goals, medical conditions, medicines, allergies and previous procedures.
  2. Receive an in-person physician assessment before final treatment selection.
  3. Discuss alternatives, limitations, material or device details, risks and expected recovery.
  4. Review the itemised plan, consent information and aftercare contact before deciding.
  5. Proceed only if the plan is suitable and you have had enough time to ask questions.
  6. Leave with written aftercare, warning signs and a follow-up plan that fits your travel dates.

04

Before booking from overseas

  • Confirm the exact branch, appointment time and treating physician in writing.
  • Confirm which language will be used for the physician consultation, consent and urgent aftercare. Do not assume interpreter availability from a general language list.
  • Request the proposed product or device name and a full, itemised quotation.
  • Allow for assessment changes: a physician may recommend a different plan or no treatment.
  • Ask how long to remain in Bangkok and what happens if a follow-up is needed after departure.

05

Claims intentionally excluded

  • No rankings, awards, review scores, celebrity endorsements or patient-volume claims are used here.
  • No outcome percentage, duration assurance, unsupported quality comparison or cross-country price/safety superiority is asserted.
  • The clinic does not provide concierge, airport pickup, accommodation booking or visa support. Patients arrange travel independently and confirm only appointment-related assistance with the clinic.
  • Thai FDA records are described with their actual registration, notification, authorisation or licence status rather than one blanket label.

Frequently asked questions

What should I verify about a Bangkok aesthetic clinic?

Check the facility's registered identity and address, the treating physician's full name and licence, and the exact product or device record. These are separate checks.

Who will perform an injectable or invasive procedure?

Ask the clinic to identify the treating clinician before payment or consent, then verify that physician's Thai Medical Council licence. Do not rely on a job title, nickname or social profile.

How should I check fillers, toxins or devices with the Thai FDA?

Search the exact Thai product or device name in the official Thai FDA database and compare the record with the packaging or device shown at the clinic. Ask for traceable lot details where applicable.

Should English, Chinese or Arabic support include consent and aftercare?

Confirm the language available at each step: physician consultation, written consent, aftercare and urgent contact. A marketing language list does not prove that an interpreter will be available for your appointment.

What is different about a physician-led consultation?

The treatment decision follows a medical history and anatomical assessment. The consultation should explain why an option may or may not fit, along with alternatives, risks and follow-up.

What should I obtain before travelling?

Keep the clinic address, physician name and licence, appointment time, proposed treatment or device, itemised quote, aftercare instructions, urgent contact and follow-up plan in writing.
