Loss of volume, facial contouring, restoring definition, and age-related changes in facial shape
Faces change over time. You might notice a little less fullness through the cheeks, more shadow around your mouth or you may feel that your features have lost a bit of definition. Sometimes there isn’t one particular thing you can put your finger on, just a feeling that your face looks a little different.
Dermal fillers can be used to replace some of that lost volume or add subtle support and definition. Most are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally within the skin.
At Medikaur, the emphasis is on small, carefully considered adjustments. That might mean restoring some support through the mid-face, softening an area of hollowness or refining the contours of a particular feature. It doesn’t necessarily mean treating everywhere, and sometimes only a very small amount of filler is needed. This is where Jane’s experience and understanding of facial anatomy are particularly important. She looks at your face as a whole, including its natural proportions and how it moves, before deciding where filler might help and, just as importantly, where it might not.
The goal isn’t to make you look dramatically different or obviously treated. It’s to preserve what is individual about your face while making subtle changes where you would like them.

Results are visible straight away. Mild swelling or tenderness can occur and usually settles within a few days.
The filler begins to settle, and treated areas look smoother, more balanced, and more refined.
Results feel fully integrated, with a softer, more natural finish.
Results remain visible, with longevity depending on the area treated, product used, and individual metabolism.
Some areas may retain definition for longer, with maintenance treatments available if desired.

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.
This is one of the most common concerns. At Medikaur, dermal fillers are used conservatively, with careful attention to proportion and balance. The aim is to support your features, not change them, and to keep results looking natural.
Most people find dermal filler treatments very manageable. Many fillers contain a local anaesthetic, and additional numbing cream can be used if needed. Sensation varies by area, but discomfort is usually brief.
Appointments typically last around 30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated and the level of planning required.
Results are visible immediately. Some swelling can occur at first, with refinement over the following days as the filler settles.
When carried out by an experienced clinician using established products, dermal fillers have a long history of safe use. Your suitability, medical history, and treatment plan are always discussed during your consultation.
Results usually last between 6 and 12 months. Longevity depends on the area treated, the product used, and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle.
Dermal filler treatments are tailored to your face, the areas being treated, and the outcome you are looking to achieve. For this reason, final pricing is always confirmed during your consultation.
During your consultation, your clinician will explain:
This ensures your treatment plan feels considered and appropriate, rather than rushed or formula-led.

Dermal fillers work best when high-quality products are combined with careful planning and experienced clinical judgement. The choice of filler, how it behaves in different areas of the face, and how it is placed all play a part in giving you beautiful, natural-looking results.
At Medikaur, dermal filler treatments are carried out using leading hyaluronic acid fillers selected for their safety, predictability, and ability to integrate smoothly with the skin. Just as importantly, every treatment is planned and delivered by Jane Paterson, an Advanced Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner and respected educator within the aesthetics industry.
Jane is known for her careful, proportion-led approach and for prioritising balance over volume. As a trainer and mentor to other aesthetic practitioners, she regularly teaches advanced injectable techniques, including facial assessment, safe placement, and decision-making around when filler is appropriate and when it’s not.
This level of experience is particularly important with dermal fillers, where small choices around depth, placement, and quantity can significantly affect how natural a result looks and how it ages over time.
Jane’s approach often involves using less product than expected or even advising against treatment in certain areas if it’s unlikely to give a refined outcome. Clients choose Jane because they want thoughtful guidance as much as treatment itself, and results that look believable, balanced, and entirely in keeping with their natural features.
Dermal fillers at Medikaur are never about following trends. They’re about careful assessment, high-quality products, and results that still feel like you.
