Summary
Non-surgical aesthetic-medicine clinic on the Chiang Mai-Lampang Super Highway offering thread lifting and injectable treatments. The founder is named with her full legal name and role. She is found in the Thai Medical Council register as a licensed physician; the register does not show a recognised Thai specialty-board certification.
Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. TMC checkmd: พญ. อัญธิกา ทิพรักษ์ AUNTIKA THIPPHARAK, M.D. (licensed since 2011): "สถานะความรู้ความชำนาญเฉพาะทางที่แพทยสภารับรอง ยังไม่มี (None)" — no TMC-recognised specialty board (e.g. dermatology) on file; the site lists course/workshop certificates rather than a board certification. [tmc-auntika] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Named with full legal name, nickname and role (founder/medical director), tied to this clinic. [site-about] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by name in TMC checkmd; no licence number published by the clinic to check by number. [tmc-auntika] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. MOPH Department of Health Service Support private-facility register, queried by name on 2026-09-20: ชื่อสถานพยาบาล ซิมคลินิกเวชกรรม — สถานที่ตั้ง เลขที่ 8/38 หมู่ 3 ตำบลช้างเผือก อำเภอเมืองเชียงใหม่ จังหวัดเชียงใหม่ — เลขที่ใบอนุญาตประกอบกิจการ 50101006961 — ใช้ได้ถึงวันที่ 31 ธันวาคม 2570. Register name, address and validity match the clinic on record. [hss] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Only a brand, without a legal form and without a responsible person. Whatever we find ourselves is shown on the profile as a fact and does not raise this cell. Brand name only ('SYM Clinic' / 'SYM Aesthetic Medical Clinic'); no juristic-person name or registration number published. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Partial, without issuers. Publishes an advertising permit number ('Advertising Permit No. KSP.CM.085/2568') without stating the issuing office; no physician-licence or facility number published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One soft superlative in the founder's own bio, describing facial-structure analysis “for the best aesthetic results”; no outcome guarantee or absolute-percentage safety statement in the clinic's own copy. A phrase combining “100%” with “safe” appears only inside a quoted customer testimonial, not the clinic's own marketing text, and reviews are out of scope for this axis. [site-about] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Some facts appear on only one front. Mechanical comparison of 2 language fronts (en, th) on 2026-09-21: a phone number appears on one front only. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-21 | |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No informed-consent, risk/contraindication, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route page found on the surveyed pages. [site] |
