This is a key sign of ageing and one of the most common areas which patients seek to be treated.
Here at S-Thetics Clinic, we use anti-wrinkle injections to effectively treat fine-to-medium lines and wrinkles by relaxing these underlying muscles, giving the appearance of softer lines.
The treatment temporarily relaxes the muscles between the affected areas, such as frown lines, resulting in a softer, less tired or angry expression.
The injections can be used to treat areas such as frown lines, crow’s feet, the jawline or an overactive jaw muscle but our surgeon and founder Miss Sherina Balaratnam may also use her clinical expertise to treat other facial areas in line with your individual needs, to give you the best results.
Using her ‘less is more approach’ to facial enhancement, the desired result is a healthy, refreshed glow – not to dramatically change the way you look.
Miss Balaratnam holds the prestigious title of ‘Local Country Ambassador’ (LCA) for Allergan, the manufacturers of the most widely known brand of anti-wrinkle injections and facial 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
Muscle-Relaxing Injections
1. What results can I expect?
The S-Thetics Clinic team will use this treatment to soften dynamic lines on your face, giving a much more relaxed, refreshed appearance whilst keeping a natural look and movement.
The injections are made with an ultra-fine needle and the procedure usually takes about half an hour. Depending on the area treated, results usually last between three and four months as the movement in the muscle comes back over time.
We advise all new patients to return for a dose review three weeks after their initial treatment to ensure the best results.
2. Is this treatment suitable for me?
Our anti-wrinkle injections can be used on a wide range of people and are suitable for any skin type.
The active ingredient in these treatments is called botulinum toxin, which is classed as a medicine that can only be prescribed by a doctor, such as our surgeon and founder Miss Sherina Balaratnam, a dentist or a nurse prescriber.
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 anti-wrinkle injections.
However, we will not proceed with this procedure on anyone who has previously had an allergic reaction to anti-wrinkle injections or women who are pregnant or breast feeding.
3. Are there any side effects?
Anti-wrinkle injections are relatively painless and require no downtime, though for best results, we recommend patients avoid massaging the area that has been treated. We also advise avoiding exercise and alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment.
While side effects of these treatments are extremely rare, as with any medical procedure, there is always a risk. Our expertly-trained team will ensure you are in the safest, most experienced hands when undergoing your treatment.
Patients may experience some mild swelling, slight bruising and redness in the treatment area post-injection, however, this should subside within a few days.
Following treatment, patients should be able to resume usual, everyday activities straight away.
