01Understanding Product Authenticity in Thailand
When it comes to aesthetic treatments, ensuring that the products used are genuine is paramount for both patient safety and treatment efficacy. In China, there are established protocols for verifying the authenticity of medical aesthetics products, such as checking NMPA approval numbers on Chinese-language packaging or scanning traceability codes.
However, these methods do not apply in Thailand due to differences in regulatory frameworks and product labeling practices.
In Thailand, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees the registration and regulation of medical aesthetic products. Instead of relying on specific features like language-specific packaging or traceability codes, patients should look for Thai FDA registration numbers and manufacturer-supplied packaging.
These details provide assurance that the product has been approved by the relevant regulatory body in Thailand.
02The Process at Waleerat Clinic
At Waleerat Clinic, we take authenticity verification a step further by opening each vial of product right before treatment, ensuring it is genuine and unopened. This practice ensures that every patient receives a fresh, sterile dose directly from its original packaging.
Each vial is specifically prepared for one patient to avoid any risk of contamination or tampering.
03Wrinkle-Relax Injection
Wrinkle-relax injections are a popular non-surgical treatment used to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. These treatments involve injecting botulinum toxin into specific facial muscles to temporarily paralyze them, thereby softening the appearance of wrinkles.
