This helps to smooth the key areas that are typically associated with ageing skin, such as a sagging jawline and marionette lines, restoring lost hydration and improving structure and texture.
While the ageing process is an inevitable part of life, dermal fillers can give you the confidence to hold your head up high with minimal downtime and natural, subtle-looking results.
At S-Thetics Clinic, we take a ‘less is more’ approach, which means we can create a natural look that ensures your skin will glow and all while respecting the individuality of your face.
We only use the best products administered by our highly-trained medical professionals, so you can be sure you are in the most capable hands for your treatment journey.
In fact, Miss Sherina Balaratnam holds the prestigious title of ‘Local Country Ambassador’ (LCA) for Allergan, the manufacturers of the world’s leading brand of anti-wrinkle treatment and the Juvederm® range of dermal fillers.
As one of only a handful of expert UK practitioners selected as an LCA, she regularly trains and mentors other health care professionals in non-surgical cosmetic rejuvenation treatments and injection techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dermal Fillers
1. What results can I expect?
Dermal fillers are used to soften dynamic lines, giving a healthy, ‘refreshed’ appearance to the skin and, thanks to Miss Balaratnam’s skilled expertise, you can expect natural-looking results that restore balance and harmony to your face.
We won’t dramatically change your appearance, simply give you your desired look using our Juvéderm® products best-placed to address your key ageing concerns.
For best results, we advise all new patients to return for a dose review three weeks after their initial treatment.
2. What areas can dermal fillers treat?
Dermal fillers are versatile, which means we can expertly use them in a number of areas for full facial rejuvenation.
Just a few skin concerns we can treat include:
- Restoring youthful facial lift by enhancing cheeks, cheekbones and the chin area that may have become hollow or thin due to weight loss or age-related facial fat loss
- Gently restoring natural-looking lip volume, defining lip contours and treating the corners of the mouth which may have started drooping downwards
- Smoothing fine ‘barcode’ lines around the lips and supporting the ‘marionette’ lines down to the chin
- Providing support and improving the shape of deeper skin folds, such as nasolabial lines (from the nose of the mouth corners), temples and brows
3. Are these treatments suitable for me?
At S-Thetics Clinic, we believe a detailed consultation and full VISIA skin analysis are essential before performing any treatment. It is during this consultation that we will discuss your suitability for dermal fillers, though, generally they can be used on a wide range of patients. However, filler treatments are not suitable if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or undergoing IVF.
4. Are there any side effects?
As with any medical procedure, there is a risk of unwanted side effects with HA dermal filler treatments. Most side effects are normally short-lived and often relate to the injection procedure. Following injection, there may be redness, slight swelling, or bruising around the injection area but these usually only last a few days.
