When British Glamour compiled their Spring/Summer edition, they dedicated a full 24-page guide to tweakments, naming ten doctors across the UK whose work they considered essential reading. Miss Sherina Balaratnam, founder and Medical Director of S-Thetics Clinic in Beaconsfield, was among them.
The feature was published alongside a striking triptych cover featuring Chrissy Teigen and positioned Miss Balaratnam alongside some of the most respected aesthetic practitioners in the country. For the clinic, it was a recognition that the approach here, careful, clinically grounded, and never overdone, was resonating far beyond Buckinghamshire.
A Champion of Skin Health
Glamour’s profile of Miss Balaratnam opened with her background in surgery, noting that she had cut her teeth as a surgeon in the NHS with experience spanning reconstructive burn surgery and reconstruction following skin cancer. That foundation matters. It shapes how she approaches every consultation, with the precision and caution of someone trained to understand tissue at a level most aesthetic practitioners never encounter.
“A champion of skin health, who cut her teeth as a surgeon in the NHS. She has experience in everything from reconstructive burn surgery to reconstruction after skin cancer, and has built up a reputation as an equally well-respected aesthetic doctor.”

The Skin You Have Always Dreamt Of
The Glamour feature highlighted Miss Balaratnam’s particular expertise in acne and scarring, areas that demand both medical rigour and a genuine understanding of how skin behaves over time. Her approach draws on premium cosmeceutical brands including Obagi Medical and iS Clinical, paired with treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, and skin resurfacing, combining pharmaceutical-grade skincare with clinic-level intervention to achieve results that are both visible and lasting.
For patients who have spent years managing acne or its aftermath, this combination offers something more than a single treatment session. It is a considered, structured pathway to the skin they have always wanted.
What This Recognition Means
Being named in Glamour’s guide is not simply a press accolade. It reflects a consistency of outcome and a reputation built through thousands of consultations, each approached with the same care. Miss Balaratnam has also been recognised in the Tatler Beauty and Cosmetic Surgery Guide as one of the UK’s top doctors for dermal fillers, and is regularly invited by global aesthetic companies to contribute to clinical research and present findings at international medical conferences.
S-Thetics Clinic offers a full range of advanced non-surgical treatments for face, skin, and body. Miss Balaratnam’s team works with each patient to design a personalised plan, combining medical expertise with the discretion and precision that the clinic has become known for.

What This Means for Our Patients
When a publication like Glamour names your doctor as one of ten in the entire UK worth visiting, it is an endorsement of the experience you can expect from the moment you walk through the door. At S-Thetics, that means a consultation with a former NHS surgeon who understands risk, who brings academic rigour to every clinical decision, and who measures success not in dramatic transformations but in skin that looks healthy, rested, and unmistakably yours.
If you are considering a consultation with Miss Balaratnam, or simply want to understand which treatments might be right for your skin, we would be glad to help.
