Botulinum Toxin A injections are an effective way to treat concerns affecting the muscles of the lower face. Over use or genetically larger than average masseter muscles located at the angle of the jaw can cause both a medical and aesthetic concern. For some grinding and clenching of the back teeth can be a troublesome side effect of the enlarged muscles and for others the squared appearance of the lower face may be perceived as unattractive.
Masseter reduction is made up of a number of very small injections administered with absolute precision and an ultra-fine needle. The injections contain Botulinum Toxin A – a protein which works by blocking the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. This in turn stops the muscle from contracting and shrinking in size over time.
Appropriate doses as advised by your SAS Aesthetics doctor will not restrict expressive movement, but subtly enhance your appearance for a natural look.
Masseter Reduction requires 2-4 hours downtime.
10-20 minutes.
Avoid hot showers, saunas as well as exercise for 24 hours and avoid sunbathing or sunbeds for up to 7 days.
Between 3-6 months. Full results effective at around 14 days, top-up may be required.
Some bruising and occasional swelling to subside after a few days.
Minimal Pain.
From £280.

Botulinum Toxin A is a protein which works by blocking the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. This in turn stops the muscle from contracting. When injected in small doses, the Botulinum Toxin A will cause the muscle to relax: as a result the overlying skin becomes smoother and fine lines and wrinkles will disappear.
The results of Masseter Reduction appear gradually and often take 3-14 days to reach the final effect.
Each person is different but the results from Botulinum Toxin A injection typically last between 3-6 months.
The treatment is relatively pain free and requires no anaesthesia.
The benefit of anti-wrinkle injection is that they are temporary and wear off over time making them ideal for clients who want a more natural result. The most common side effects however are bruising and swelling which often resolve over a period of a few days.
We often discourage consumption of alcohol 12 hours before and after your treatment. Smoking should be avoided 6 hours before and after your treatment. Both these factors affect the likelihood of you bruising. Other things to avoid are hot showers, saunas as well as exercise for 24 hours and avoid sunbathing or sunbeds for up to 7 days.
No – over time as the muscle relaxes and the acetylcholine receptors become less active you will need less injections with longer periods between each treatment.
Yes, you are eligible for a top up 2-3 weeks after your treatment. However, we cannot offer this service outside of this time period.
Yes – the absolute contra-indications are pregnancy, breastfeeding and more rarely medical conditions such as myasthenia Gravis. Relative contra-indications are the use of blood thinning medications (please discuss this with your doctor during your consultation).
For clients between the age of 26-35 years we recommend preventative botulinum toxin which will slow the signs of aging as the skin starts to lose collagen with time. An age appropriate dose of botulinum toxin is injected in the areas you want to address and over time a natural result will prevent your skin from developing fine lines and wrinkles.
Yes, we do – it’s the only non-surgical treatment proven to work.
Dr Saleki is the sweetest and most professional Dr ever! I was really nervous and she completely put me at ease for my fox eye thread lift!
I was a bit nervous, Dr Mahsa was lovely, she couldn’t of been more professional and kind. I had nose threads and the procedure was quick and apart from a bit of discomfort with the anaesthetic, the rest was totally pain free. I am 3 days post treatment and still a bit swollen but other than that everything has been very smooth and I feel fine. I’m excited to see the settled results. Would I recommend, 100% yes.
First time I every had any treatment and it was a brilliant experience, The Dr was very Calm and compassionate and clear. I read about a treatment threading but she said I didn’t need it and suggested fillers and fat dissolving which has work for me, definitely go again even though it took me over 2hours to get there.

Sculptra is the mother of all biostimulators. From her hayday in the 60s as a treatment for Aids patient to its recent boom in treating GLP1 facial fat loss.It’s proven time and time again that its a versatile treatment. It works hard to naturally replace volume and improve skin texture. Since its relaunch by Galderma its had a wonderful safety profile with little to no risk of Granuloma formation.DM to get booked in for your treatment 🩵#sculptra #volumereplacement #skintightening
There’s a lot that can be achieved non surgically in the right hands. Festoon treatment is traditionally very tricky. Surgery can sometimes make things worse so it gives me great pleasure to be able to offer a solution that’s effective and minimally invasive.Multiple goals achieved using a single treatment protocol is a by product of great and advanced technology coupled with world class surgical training. Treatments are customised and are appropriate for the majority of patients. If you’d like a personalised plan drop us a DM and a member of the team will get in touch. #nonsurgicaleyelidtightening #laserskintreatmentlondon #festoontreatment

I treat skin every single day. Here is what I wish more women knew before they came to see me.1. The biggest change in your skin after 35 is not at the surface. It is structural. The products on your shelf can support it ,but they cannot rebuild it.2. Most women I see are doing too much. Layering actives that cancel each other out, stripping a barrier that is already struggling. 3. SPF is the most powerful anti-ageing tool you have. Wear it every single day and reapply throughout the day.4. You cannot out-product a poor lifestyle. Sleep, nutrition and movement do more for your skin than anything you can buy.5. Your neck and chest are ageing faster than your face, and most people completely ignore them. Start treating them now.6. Price is not a marker of efficiency. Some of the most clinically proven ingredients cost almost nothing. Most of what you are paying for is marketing.7. Strong actives are not always better. Most skin issues I see come from overuse, not underuse. If something is irritating your skin, it is damaging your barrier.8. Your skin at 40 does not need the same routine it needed at 25. Most people are following advice built for someone half their age.9. A bad previous treatment is harder to fix than doing nothing at all. Choose your practitioner well before you choose your treatment.If you want to know where to start with your skin treatments, a consultation is the best first step.
