Dermal Fillers

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are a type of non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves injecting special substances under the skin. These treatments aim to smooth wrinkles, improve facial lines, and restore lost volume. Dermal fillers are an ideal solution for those looking to enhance their skin’s appearance without undergoing complex surgeries.

At Shifnal Dental Care, we understand the importance of youthful and radiant skin. We offer a wide range of dermal fillers designed to smooth wrinkles, add volume, and enhance facial contours. Our treatments are performed by experienced specialists who prioritize your comfort and safety.

When to Use Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers can be used at various stages of life, depending on individual skin needs. They are particularly recommended for those who have noticed the first signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, or loss of skin firmness. These treatments are also excellent for those wanting to improve facial contours, plump lips or cheeks, and correct asymmetries.

Types of Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic Acid
(HA)

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring component in the skin that diminishes with age, leading to wrinkles and loss of volume. Injecting hyaluronic acid under the skin smooths wrinkles and improves facial contours immediately. The results are visible right away and last from 6 to 12 months. Common brands include Restylane® and Juvederm®.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA)

Calcium hydroxylapatite is a substance found in bones and is used as a filler for deeper wrinkles. CaHA injections help rebuild skin volume and improve elasticity. The effects of this type of filler can last about a year. Radiesse® is a popular CaHA filler.

Poly-L-lactic Acid (PLLA)

Poly-L-lactic acid stimulates the body to produce its own collagen, leading to the natural smoothing of deep wrinkles. The effects of this treatment appear gradually and can last for over two years. Sculptra® is an example of a PLLA filler.

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)

PMMA fillers contain small beads that remain under the skin after injection, providing long-lasting support and volume. PMMA is often combined with collagen for immediate filling effects. Bellafill® is a well-known PMMA filler.

Contraindications

While dermal fillers are generally safe, there are some contraindications to consider. These include pregnancy and breastfeeding, allergies to the components used in the treatments, active skin infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain neurological conditions. Before proceeding with treatment, our specialists will conduct a thorough medical consultation to ensure the procedure is safe and effective for you.

The Dermal Filler Procedure

Before the Procedure

Before receiving dermal fillers, you will have a consultation with our specialist, who will assess your skin and discuss your goals. The specialist will mark the injection sites and may take photos for comparison. They will discuss the types of fillers available and choose the best option for you, considering possible side effects and recovery time.

During the Procedure

The dermal filler procedure takes place in our office and typically lasts less than an hour. The specialist will clean your skin and apply an anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Using a thin needle, they will inject the filler under your skin. The procedure is quick, and most patients experience minimal pain.

After the Procedure

After the procedure, your skin will be cleaned, and an ice pack may be applied to reduce swelling. You may experience slight redness, bruising, or discomfort, which usually subsides within a few days. Results are immediate, and the full effect of the treatment can be seen after a few days.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers offer numerous benefits, including immediate results and minimal recovery time. Depending on the type of filler, the effects can last from several months to a few years. These treatments are less expensive than surgical procedures and allow for a quick return to daily activities.

Risks and Complications

While serious complications are rare, some side effects can occur, such as asymmetry, bleeding, bruising, infection, lumps under the skin, numbness, and allergic reactions. It is important to be aware of these risks and consult with our specialists if you experience any concerning symptoms.

      Superb service since my wife and I became patients a year ago. Particularly I must thank them for resolving my toothache and subsequent extraction during the pandemic when I had number of phone consultations and further appointments immediately on opening again. A good experience from dentists and staff. Well done. Gordon and Brenda Morris

      I attended for my routine 6 monthly check up with Dr Wozniak, and Hygienist's appointment with John last week - the second time since Coronavirus restrictions came in. I felt comfortable that the precautions in place are effective and really appreciate the lengths everyone has gone to to be able to continue caring for patients. As always, everyone was friendly and professional and I left with a clean bill of health. I would strongly recommend Shifnal Dental Care to anyone in search of dental care.

      The new Practice in Shifnal is exquisite! My family and I are very impressed! So, not only did it feel like we were at a Harley Street Dental Practice, but we were also in John and Sim’s professional, safe and gentle hands. As an anxious patient I am always quickly at ease here and grateful for the staffs’ kindness as well as their passionate knowledge. In addition, Katherine and the reception ladies are all incredibly friendly and helpful. I won’t go anywhere else for my dental treatment :) x

      I have been using Shifnal Dental Practice for over 40 years now. It has always been good, but when Dr Wosniak arrived, he took it to a whole new level of expertise and techniques. Like any private dental practice it doesn't come cheap, but the level of professionalism and service have been outstanding and are second to none. I have today just had an emergency appointment for an extraction and been dealt with fantastically by all staff. Over the years Dr Wosniak, in conjunction with the Birmingham Dental Hospital, has done great work on my teeth for which I am eternally grateful. I can highly recommend him and his team to everyone looking for a first class dental service.

      Dentists generally make this feel nervous, but I always feel incredibly relaxed here! Both my dentist and orthodontist have been fantastic and the front of service is personal and efficient. I definitely recommend taking their monthly payment plan, it’s worth every penny. Updated to add: their new practice is brilliant, it’s spacious and calming, and I appreciated the screens on the ceiling showing tv or relaxing landscapes to distract me from the dental work.

      google

      Not a massive fan of the dentist, but I’ve always been pleased with the service here. Welcoming and professional is how I would sum up my experience.

It’s clear that they genuinely care about their patients and are committed to providing the highest quality of care.

      From the front desk to the dentists, everything and everyone about this place is premium. I bounced around a few other places for me and my family before landing in this place. Visiting the dentist can be worrying and scary, but at least you’ll know you’re in great professional hands within a top facility. I just had a tooth removed, and the dentists’ kept me relaxed, comfortable and as happy as you can be in having a tooth pulled out 😁

      google

      I have now completed my orthodontic treatment , and I feel over the moon! The team has always been professional and helpful, thank you!

      Great new dental clinic. I recently moved from a Shrewsbury NHS practice to Shifnal. I suffer from gum disease and for that I require private care to keep on top of it. I'm impressed with new patient care and technical procedures to determine baseline of needs. The dentists are extremely pleasant, thorough, professional and the treatment rooms are equipped with high tech tools. The clinic provides a wonderful environment and I feel I get what I pay for. Highly recommend them

      google

      Beautiful interior, lovely atmosphere. They have moved into this place from where I last visited and I loved the look of it. Looked clean and aesthetic. Had an air polish done by the lovely Em. Girls at the desk are also very welcoming. Highly recommended

      A very professional dental practice, and I am very happy that I found them. Dr. Maciej Wozniak is doing his job really well. I turned to him after I was treated very poorly by a dentist in Shrewsbury who wanted to drill channels into my healthy teeth to place an orthodontic fiberglass wire behind them. The same practice also wanted to remove my implant and replace it with a new one. Dr. Wozniak put in a nice, sturdy wire without drilling anything, thus keeping my teeth in one piece (not to mention this has lasted for years now). He also decided to see if the implant could be saved and referred me to a specialist in Birmingham. (Dr. Wozniak lost money on this, as I didn’t pay anything.) And it worked! What else could build your trust in a doctor more than actions like that? Every treatment has been done with diligence and care. The latest hygienist appointment was also five-star worthy. I am glad they moved, as there is now a nice, spacious car park, and I no longer need to worry about where to leave my car. The practice itself is spacious and well-designed. I recommend Shifnal Dental Care without any hesitation.

      Beautiful new premises. Really helpful and friendly reception team and Sim is a brilliant dentist, especially with the children.

      The team here are amazing. Reception staff so friendly and helpful. Extraction today was made as stress free and painless as possible. Dr. Sim is the best Dentist I have ever had. She talked me through the whole process, calm and professional throughout. These procedures do cost, but you pay for the training , expertise and care. I cannot recommend this practice enough.
