Commonly treated concerns

Read more Loss of Volume Loss of Volume Loss of facial volume is fundamental to visible facial ageing, showing as a general flattening of the face’s natural contours. Read more Dark Circles Dark Circles Dark circles are one of the most frequently raised concerns Dr Sateei hears, as the eye area is often the first place tiredness shows. Read more Pigmentation Pigmentation Pigmentation covers several patterns of uneven skin tone, from small marks left after a spot to larger, diffuse patches such as melasma. Read more Age Spots Age Spots Age spots, sometimes called sun spots or lentigines, are flat brown or tan marks that appear on the areas with the most lifetime sun exposure. Read more Ageing Hands Ageing Hands Hands are often overlooked in skincare and sun protection, yet they show signs of ageing just as visibly as the face. Read more Crow’s Feet Crow’s Feet Crow’s feet are the fine lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes, often first noticed when smiling. Read more Double Chin Double Chin A double chin, or submental fullness, affects people of all body types, ages and weights, and is not simply a sign of carrying extra weight. Read more Droopy Mouth Droopy Mouth A droopy or downturned mouth can make someone look permanently tired or unhappy, regardless of how they actually feel. Read more Dull & Dehydrated Skin Dull & Dehydrated Skin Dull, dehydrated skin is skin that looks tired or has lost its natural radiance, even without a specific line or mark to point to. Read more Enlarged Pores & Texture Enlarged Pores & Texture Visible pores and uneven skin texture are extremely common concerns, particularly around the nose, cheeks and forehead. Read more Eye Bags Eye Bags Eye bags are one of the most universally recognised signs of tiredness, and one of the most common reasons patients ask Dr Sateei about non-surgical treatment. Read more Forehead Lines Forehead Lines Forehead lines are the horizontal creases that appear when you raise your eyebrows, and over time can remain visible even at rest. Read more Frown Lines Frown Lines Frown lines, sometimes called glabellar lines or “elevens”, are the vertical lines that form between the eyebrows. Read more Gummy Smile Gummy Smile A gummy smile describes more than average upper gum showing when you smile, and the cause determines whether treatment is likely to help. Read more Hyperhidrosis Hyperhidrosis Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can affect confidence considerably, whether it shows up in the underarms, palms, soles or face. Read more Lumpy Fillers Lumpy Fillers Lumpy or uneven filler is a concern Dr Sateei sees often, frequently in patients who were treated elsewhere previously.

Read more Rosacea Rosacea Rosacea is a genuine medical skin condition rather than simply sensitive skin, and it responds best to consistent, considered management. Read more Sagging Jawline & Neck Sagging Jawline & Neck A softening jawline and looser neck skin, sometimes called “turkey neck”, are among the most common concerns Dr Sateei helps with. Read more Sunken Temples Sunken Temples Sunken or hollow temples can change the shape of the upper face. Treatment is tailored to your facial structure and the degree of hollowing following an individual assessment. Read more Teeth Grinding Teeth Grinding Teeth grinding and jaw clenching often bring patients to Dr Sateei not for cosmetic reasons but because of genuine discomfort. Read more Thin Lips Thin Lips Thin lips are a concern Dr Sateei discusses often, whether you have always felt your lips are smaller than you would like, or have noticed them thinning with age. Read more Weak Chin Weak Chin A weak or recessed chin has less forward projection, which can affect the appearance of the facial profile. Read more Wrinkled Lips Wrinkled Lips Fine lines on and around the lips can become more noticeable over time. Dr Ellie assesses your skin and the lines you would like to address before discussing suitable treatment options. Read more
