Full face rejuvenation considers the face as a complete aesthetic unit rather than a single line or area, bringing together the treatments your face genuinely needs into one considered plan.
Full face rejuvenation is a medically led approach to non-surgical facial rejuvenation that assesses the face as a whole rather than treating one line or hollow in isolation. It suits patients who have noticed several changes at once, a little less volume in the cheeks, a softening jawline, skin that looks tired rather than rested, and who would prefer to address the pattern rather than each change separately.
At Dr Ellie Sateei’s London and Sevenoaks clinics, a plan may combine anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, skin boosters or collagen stimulators, in whatever proportions your face requires. Nothing is included by default. Results vary between individuals, and Dr Sateei will set out what is realistically achievable for your face before any plan is agreed.
The assessment draws on the Arthur Swift SEL principles, Structure, Expression and Line, which read the face as one aesthetic unit rather than a collection of separate concerns. Structure covers the underlying support of the cheeks, jaw, chin and temples. Expression covers how the muscles move and where repeated movement is etching lines. Line covers the quality of the skin itself, its hydration, texture and elasticity.
Dr Sateei examines all three together, then builds a plan in sequence rather than in a single layer. Structural support usually comes first, because restoring the foundation often softens lines that would otherwise have been treated directly. Expression and skin quality are addressed around it. This ordering is why a whole-face plan tends to read more naturally than the same treatments booked separately: each element is chosen with an understanding of what the others are doing.
Because the plan is designed around the face rather than around a product, it is priced at a flat professional fee rather than itemised per syringe or per vial. For most patients this works out more economical than booking the same elements as separate appointments, although the comparison depends on what your plan includes.
Full face rejuvenation may suit you if you are:
It is usually not the right starting point if you have one clearly defined concern, such as a single area of thin lips or one deep frown line. In those cases a targeted treatment is more proportionate and less costly, and Dr Sateei will tell you so.
As the plan may include injectable treatments, it is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your medical history, any previous aesthetic treatment and any planned events will be discussed at consultation so the sequencing suits your circumstances.
Most appointments take 45 to 90 minutes depending on how many elements your plan includes. Discomfort is generally minimal, as many of the products used contain local anaesthetic and numbing cream can be applied for added comfort. Most patients have little to no downtime, although mild swelling or bruising can occur and usually settles within a few days.
Results appear on different timelines within the same plan, which is worth understanding before you begin. Improvements from dermal fillers become visible once initial swelling settles. Collagen stimulators and skin boosters build gradually over several weeks and months as your own collagen responds. This means the full result of a combination plan is typically not apparent for two to three months, and the plan is designed with that in mind rather than expecting everything to arrive at once.
Depending on the combination used, results may last nine to twenty-four months, with some collagen-building effects lasting longer. Dr Sateei confirms the expected timeline for your specific plan at consultation, and reviews it as the plan progresses.
“The face doesn’t age one line at a time, so I don’t think treatment should work that way either. I look at structure, expression and skin quality together and build a plan around what will bring genuine balance back, rather than softening one area while the rest is left behind. The goal is always the same: you should look rested, and you should look like yourself.”

Discomfort is generally minimal. Many of the products used contain local anaesthetic, and numbing cream can be applied for added comfort.
Filler results show once swelling settles. Collagen stimulators and skin boosters build over several weeks and months, so the complete result usually takes two to three months.
Depending on the combination, nine to twenty-four months, with some collagen-building effects lasting longer. Results vary between individuals.
It is priced at a flat professional fee of £1,885 rather than per syringe, which for most patients works out more economical than the same elements booked separately.
Yes. A plan can be staged across more than one appointment if you would prefer to build gradually.
Full Face Rejuvenation is often planned alongside these.
Full face rejuvenation treats the face as one unit, addressing volume, movement and skin quality in a single sequenced plan. If several things have changed at once and you are not sure where to begin, that is exactly the question an assessment answers. It may point to a smaller plan than you expected, or to one area rather than several.
