Frown lines, forehead lines, crow's feet, and preventing lines from becoming more noticeable over time
Over time, the lines that appear when you frown, smile, raise your eyebrows, or squint can start to linger, even when your face is at rest. They’re a natural part of being expressive, but they can sometimes make you look more tired, tense, or stressed than you actually feel.
Anti-wrinkle injections are designed to soften these expression lines. The aim isn’t to freeze your face or change the way you look. It’s simply to help you look a little more refreshed and rested, while still looking like yourself.
At Medikaur, we take a thoughtful, conservative approach. Every appointment starts with a consultation, where Jane carefully assesses your facial movement, skin quality, and the way different muscles are working together. She’ll also spend time understanding what you’re hoping to achieve, and just as importantly, what you don’t want.
If treatment is suitable, your plan is tailored to you. Some people want very subtle softening. Others are more bothered by stronger movement in certain areas. There isn’t one standard approach that suits everybody.
If you’re completely new to treatment, or you feel nervous about looking “done”, we can start lightly and build gradually over time if needed. It’s always easier to add a little more than to reverse an over-treated result. The overall goal is balance and freshness. You should still look like you, just perhaps a little more rested, refreshed, and more confident in what you see in the mirror.

Fantastic service and amazing results. If you live or work in the Canary Wharf area, go and speak to Jane she is very knowledgeable and discreet.
My husband and I both visit Medikaur for all of our aesthetic and skin care needs. Jane always listens to our concerns, and gives great advice, never giving us a really ‘done look’ - just a light helping hand to look and feel our best. Our friends can’t work out why we look so well-rested and youthful, despite having stressful jobs and a hectic family life!”
Incredible service and results! Found my new regular place. Competence and experience show.
Anti-wrinkle injections use prescription-only medicines. These medicines are not advertised. Suitability and treatment options are confirmed during a face-to-face medical consultation.
Yes. The aim at Medikaur is to soften expression lines while preserving the natural movement that is so important to how you communicate and show up in the world. Treatment is planned around how your face moves, not to restrict it.
Most people describe the sensation as very mild and brief. The needles used are extremely fine, and treatment is quick.
Results are temporary. Many people choose to repeat treatment every 3 to 4 months, but timing varies depending on your goals, facial movement, and how your body responds. This is always your choice.
Often, yes. Some people are happy with a single treatment that lasts 3 to 4 months, while others prefer a follow-up review during this period to refine results, especially if starting conservatively.
Because the effects are temporary, they gradually wear off. You can choose to have repeat treatments to maintain the look, or wait longer between appointments, if that’s your preference.
When carried out by an experienced medical professional following proper consultation, anti-wrinkle treatments have a strong safety record. Potential risks and side effects will be discussed with you before any decision is made.
Many people come to Medikaur for their first treatment because of Jane’s knowledge, experience and open, informative approach. Starting gently is encouraged, allowing results to build gradually and feel natural.

If you’re new to anti-wrinkle treatment, feeling nervous about looking “frozen”, or simply want a more thoughtful approach, you’re not alone. Many of Jane’s patients come to her because they want subtle, natural-looking results and someone who will genuinely listen to what they do and don’t want. Over the years, she has built a loyal patient base, with some people even travelling from overseas to see her.
Jane Paterson is an Advanced Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner with more than 25 years of experience in aesthetic medicine. She also trains and mentors other medical professionals in aesthetic treatments, including anti-wrinkle injections, and is known for her calm, measured approach.
Jane understands that every face moves differently. Some people are bothered by stronger lines or tension in certain areas. Others want only the lightest softening while keeping plenty of natural movement and expression. There isn’t one standard approach that suits everybody.
During your consultation, Jane will spend time assessing how your face moves, how different muscles work together, and what feels right for you personally. She’ll also talk honestly about what treatment can realistically achieve, and when a lighter touch may actually give the best result.
If you prefer to start cautiously, treatment can be approached gradually and refined over time if needed. Jane is particularly known for helping people look refreshed and rested without looking obviously treated.
Above all, the goal is for you to still look like yourself. Just fresher, more confident, and comfortable in your own skin.
If you’re considering anti-wrinkle treatments, the first step is a face-to-face consultation. This gives you the space to talk through your concerns, ask questions, and explore whether treatment is right for you.
