Anti-wrinkle injections use carefully placed neuromodulators to soften expression lines and prevent new ones forming, without changing how you look.
Neuromodulator injections placed to soften expression lines while keeping natural movement.
Anti-wrinkle injections temporarily relax the specific facial muscles responsible for expression lines, such as frown lines, forehead creases and crow’s feet. At Dr Ellie Sateei’s clinics they are used to soften these lines while preserving natural movement and expression, so you look refreshed rather than altered.
The treatment involves precisely placed injections of neuromodulators into targeted facial muscles. These temporarily relax the muscles responsible for repetitive movements, such as frowning or squinting, which is what causes dynamic wrinkles to form and deepen over time. With the muscle activity softened, the overlying skin appears smoother.
Because the effect is muscle-specific and dose-dependent, the strength and placement can be tailored precisely to your face and your goals, whether that is softening existing lines, slowing new ones from forming, or addressing concerns such as jaw clenching or excessive sweating. Dr Sateei discusses your goals in detail before administering treatment.
Anti-wrinkle injections are used across the face and beyond, from expression lines to jaw slimming and excessive sweating. Pricing is per treatment rather than per area, so a consultation confirms exactly what your plan will cost.
Anti-wrinkle injections tend to suit you if you are looking to:
As with any injectable, anti-wrinkle treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and certain neurological or muscular conditions may affect suitability. Dr Sateei will review your medical history at consultation to confirm the right approach for you.
The procedure is quick and virtually painless, typically taking around 15 to 30 minutes, using microneedles as thin as human hair. There is minimal downtime, and most patients resume daily activities immediately, though slight redness or swelling at the injection sites can occur and usually settles within a few hours.
Results generally last between three and six months, with regular maintenance treatments helping to prolong the effect. Dr Sateei offers a review appointment two weeks after your initial treatment, so any fine-tuning can be made once the full effect has settled.

“The so-called ‘frozen’ look isn’t a side effect of anti-wrinkle treatment, it’s a result of dosing and placement that isn’t tailored to the individual. I work with your natural expressions rather than against them, softening the lines that bother you while keeping the movement that makes your face yours. That’s why patients tell me they simply look rested, not treated.”
