- Why do people who do a lot of fillers start to look the same?
- Did you know that most commercial IV drips have little to no benefit to your skin?
- Our skin concerns change over time and our skincare routine should be adjusted accordingly.
In a recent engaging episode of the Aesthetics Today podcast, host Michelle Marais delves into the world of beauty and medical aesthetics with Sarah Muthir, the founder of Esthe Clinic. Muthir, with her unique background as a pharmacist and advanced aesthetic injector, has positioned Esthe Clinic as a pioneer in the aesthetics industry, renowned for its cutting-edge treatments and personalised patient care.
The best advice I can give somebody when it comes to skincare is to use good quality products, but particularly what we call cosmeceutical products.

Esthe Clinic: A Blend Of Science And Holism
Esthe Clinic distinguishes itself through a holistic approach deeply rooted in scientific evidence. Muthir explains how the clinic’s services go beyond traditional aesthetics, incorporating treatments like infrared exercise therapy. This innovative offering, which combines pedalling with infrared therapy, exemplifies the clinic’s commitment to treatments that enhance overall well-being alongside aesthetic improvements.
The collaboration between Muthir and world-class dermatologists, including some acclaimed experts from Brazil, ensures that every treatment introduced at the clinic is backed by rigorous research and clinical trials. This careful vetting process underlines the clinic’s dedication to providing treatments that are not only effective but also specifically tailored to meet the diverse needs of their clientele.
I think in the clinic it’s such a, got such a family vibe. We don’t really see ourselves as doctor, pharmacist and whatever. We just all work really seamlessly together.

Success Through Synergy
Muthir recounts numerous success stories, highlighting the profound impact of the clinic’s holistic approach on patients’ treatment journeys. One notable example is a patient who had struggled with severe rosacea for 15 years and found relief within a week of receiving a specific product prescribed by the clinic. Such outcomes underscore the benefit of combining pharmaceutical expertise with medical knowledge, a practice not commonly found in the industry.
This synergy allows for a deep understanding of products and drugs, ensuring that treatments are delivered effectively. Muthir emphasises the importance of this collaboration, noting the rarity of such interdisciplinary cooperation in the field.
We have clients who have suffered from many, many skin conditions. I had a client, I think, who’d had severe Rosacea for about 15 years and didn’t know, kept going back to the GP, they didn’t know how to treat it. And within, honestly, within a week of us prescribing her one product, it just completely cleared off.

Customised Care For Every Client
In addressing skincare, Muthir points out the individuality of each client’s needs, advocating for customised care plans that consider personal concerns, preferences, and budget constraints. She stresses the significance of cosmeceutical products, which offer more profound effects compared to over-the-counter skincare, and highlights the clinic’s effort to make high-quality treatments accessible to a wider audience, including offering products at various price points to accommodate different budgets.
The integration of an on-site pharmacy further exemplifies the clinic’s all-encompassing service model, providing clients with immediate access to prescription-grade products as needed. This convenience ensures that clients receive a complete treatment experience without the hassle of seeking out additional services elsewhere.
We, as pharmacists, know a lot about the products, about the drugs, how to deliver them, and doctors will know about the diagnosis and treatment of the conditions, but it’s really good, particularly with aesthetics. You really need to use the right ingredients and you need to deliver them correctly.

Fostering A Family Atmosphere
Muthir takes pride in the clinic’s family-like atmosphere, where the team works seamlessly without strict hierarchies, contributing to a joyful and cohesive work environment. This collaborative spirit extends to consultations, where clients benefit from the combined expertise of Muthir and her dermatologist colleague, ensuring well-rounded advice and treatment plans.
In her vision for Esthe Clinic, Muthir aimed to create a workplace that felt like pursuing a hobby every day—a goal that she feels has been successfully achieved, as evidenced by the satisfaction and happiness expressed by both her clients and her team.
As Esthe Clinic continues to lead in the aesthetics industry, its unique blend of scientific rigour, holistic care, and a warm, inclusive environment stands as a testament to Sarah Muthir’s innovative vision and dedication to enhancing natural beauty and overall well-being.
