Dermal filler cannula technique

  • Pre-procedure use of a smaller, sharper needle is necessary to provide an initial entry site for insertion of the cannula in order to reach the deeper layers of the skin since the cannula is blunt and unable to penetrate through the skin.
  • The cannula can then be put through the entrance site to reach the deeper layers and implant the filler once the superficial puncture has been made with a sharp needle.
  • With the use of a cannula, the injector is also able to feel resistance from specific tissue structures that the cannula goes through, which helps them decide whether to apply or release pressure or change the cannula's route to avoid veins, arteries, and nerves. When utilising a regular sharp needle, you wouldn't be able to take use of this.

The cannula and its technique can be used for most dermal filler procedures, from Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty, Cheek Filler, Lip Filler, Jawline Filler and Tear Trough Filler.
