Our method for this page
We read each provider's own web pages on dermatology clinics in Thailand and kept only statements we could trace to a source. Nobody paid to be included, and the list is not a quality ranking. Criteria:
Bumrungrad publishes two skin pages. An older Skin (Dermatology) Center page lists the BIC Building, 12th floor, Counter 12A, and names acne, athlete's foot and hair loss among its conditions. The hospital's current centre listing for skin care is the VitalLife Skin & Aesthetic Center in Building C, 10th floor, which covers both medical diagnosis and cosmetic work.
On the medical side, VitalLife lists acne, allergic contact dermatitis, birthmarks, burns, corns, dandruff, melasma, moles and hair loss, with LED light therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for hair. Cosmetic services include dermal fillers, botulinum toxin and non-invasive fat reduction with CoolSculpting and Vanquish. The centre's page shows 26 doctors; most profiles list dermatology with an aesthetics focus, and one also lists dermatopathology.
No prices are published. Tele-consultation with a doctor is offered, and the hospital runs international patient services such as an expatriate liaison centre. It may suit someone who wants a wide choice of dermatologists inside a large hospital.

"Skin clinic" covers a wide range of services in Thailand, from hospital dermatology departments that diagnose and treat disease, to aesthetic clinics built around injectables, lasers and skin treatments. The practitioners differ too: some are specialist dermatologists, some are doctors without specialist dermatology training, and some services are offered by people who are not doctors at all.
The right choice depends on what you need. This guide is general information, not medical advice; ask a doctor which treatment, if any, is right for you.
Dermatologist, aesthetic doctor or beautician
A dermatologist in Thailand is a registered doctor who has gone on to complete specialist training in diseases of the skin, hair and nails. Teaching hospitals describe dermatology residency as leading to the Thai board examination in dermatology conducted under the Medical Council of Thailand. On a profile, look for wording such as "Diploma of the Thai Board of Dermatology".
Many aesthetic clinics are run by licensed doctors who have not completed that specialist training. Beauticians and spa staff are not doctors, and Thai authorities state that Botox, fillers and similar procedures are medical treatments that must be performed by licensed doctors at legally approved medical facilities.
Medical or cosmetic: which service you need
Medical dermatology deals with conditions such as persistent rashes, eczema, psoriasis, severe acne, hair and nail problems, infections and changing moles. Cosmetic dermatology aims to change appearance, for example with injectables, laser resurfacing, pigmentation treatments or peels.
If the problem may be medical, or you are not sure, start with a dermatologist, often in a hospital department. A hospital can take a biopsy, run tests and refer you to other specialists in the same building. For a purely cosmetic treatment, a doctor-led clinic can be appropriate, provided the doctor and the facility are licensed.
Checking the doctor and the clinic
The Medical Council of Thailand runs a public lookup at tmc.or.th/check_md. You search by the doctor's first name and surname in Thai or English, and results show licence status and any specialty. If the specialty shown is not dermatology, you will know you are not seeing a dermatologist.
Since 3 July 2026, a Medical Council rule requires doctors who advertise cosmetic services to show their full name and medical licence number, with any nickname shown alongside the real name in the same format. If an advert or social media post shows only a nickname, or no doctor at all, ask for the full name and licence number and check them yourself.
Clinics are licensed separately as healthcare facilities. The Department of Health Service Support's lookup at hosp.hss.moph.go.th shows a facility's licence type, operator, medical personnel and status. Suspected unlicensed clinics can be reported to the Department on 1426, and harm from beauty services to the Office of the Consumer Protection Board on 1166.
Products and devices
Injectables are where authenticity matters most. In 2026 Thailand's Food and Drug Administration and police seized unregistered fillers and botulinum toxin that had been supplied to clinics, and the FDA advised patients to check three things: that the facility is licensed with a qualified doctor, that the product is registered, and that the packaging and registration number are checked before each treatment.
Ask to see the box or vial before it is opened, note the product name and Thai FDA registration number, and check them through the FDA's website, its LINE account (@FDAThai) or the Mor Prom app.
Consent, photos, aftercare and complications
Thailand's declaration of patients' rights, issued by the Medical Council and other professional councils, says patients may receive enough information about their condition to decide whether to accept treatment, learn the name and profession of the person treating them, seek a second opinion and ask to see their medical records. Expect the doctor to explain the expected result, risks, side effects and alternatives before you agree, and to give you time to decide.
Before-and-after photos are part of a good record. Ask whether the clinic will take them, how they will be used and whether your consent is needed before they appear in advertising. Ask too what aftercare is included, how to reach the clinic out of hours, and what happens, and who pays, if there is a complication. The UK's NHS advises planning and budgeting for aftercare and any follow-up treatment needed to keep a result.
Prices, packages and payment
Cosmetic treatments are priced in different ways, so quotes rarely compare directly. Ask whether a price is per unit, per syringe, per area or per session, how many units or sessions the doctor expects you to need, and whether follow-up or top-up visits are included.
Packages and pre-paid courses can lower the price per session, but check the expiry date, whether unused sessions are refundable, and whether they can be used at other branches. Private hospitals often take a deposit before treatment, and the UK government advises raising complaints first with the provider and, for non-emergency matters, through the government's 1111 helpline.
Questions to ask before you book
What is the treating doctor's full name and medical licence number?
Is the doctor a dermatologist with Thai board certification, or a doctor with other training?
Who will perform the procedure itself: the doctor or another member of staff?
Is my problem medical or cosmetic, and can you investigate or refer me if it is medical?
Which product or device will you use, and can I see the packaging and Thai FDA registration number before treatment?
What results, risks, side effects and alternatives should I expect?
Will you take before-and-after photos, and will you ask before using them in advertising?
Is the price per unit, syringe, area or session, and how many will I need?
Who do I contact if there is a problem after treatment, and who pays to put it right?
If I buy a package, when does it expire and are unused sessions refundable?
Warning signs
Adverts or posts that show only a nickname, or no doctor's name and licence number at all.
Injections offered by someone who is not a licensed doctor, or outside a licensed medical facility.
The clinic will not show you the product packaging or registration number before injecting.
Prices well below other clinics for the same named product, with no explanation.
Pressure to buy a large package or decide on the day of the consultation.
No discussion of risks, side effects or what happens if there is a complication.
What is the difference between a dermatologist and an aesthetic clinic in Thailand?
A dermatologist is a doctor with specialist training in skin, hair and nail disease, usually shown as Thai Board of Dermatology certification. Many aesthetic clinics are run by doctors without that training. Our guide on telling them apart explains how to check using the Medical Council of Thailand's lookup.
How can I check that a filler or Botox product is genuine in Thailand?
Thailand's Food and Drug Administration advises checking that the clinic is licensed with a qualified doctor and that the product is registered. Ask to see the box before it is opened and check the registration number through the FDA's website or LINE account.
