hyaluronic acid injection blunt tip 25g micro cannula needles for fillers
A blunt-tip cannula is a small tube with an unsharp rounded end, specifically designed for atraumatic intradermal injections of fluids, for example injectable fillers. It has ports on the side allowing the product to be dispensed more evenly. Over the years a wide array of blunt-tip micro-cannulae have been designed that offer variety in flexibility, size and diameter, but all are very small in diameter. The modern micro-cannulae allow both superficial and more involved procedures. Different sizes can also be used to inject fillers of nearly any type of level of viscosity. Extremely flexible, long micro-cannulae can be used to employ the "fanning technique", a method that allows for treatment of a large area through a single puncture point.
Advantages of using blunt tip cannula instead of sharp needles.
Accuracy: the filler can be placed with great precision at any facial area.Safety: the blunt tip of cannula prevents intra-arterial injection, the cause of most serious complications using needles, reduces trauma to the tissue and decreases the risk for blood vessel rupture, intravenous and/or arterial embolisms (reference).
Comfort: patients undergoing cannula injection experience much less discomfort than during needle injections. The entire lip, nasolabial fold, mandibular sulcus, cheek, or temple area can be augmented through a single puncture site. Only 2-4 entry points are needed for full face injections.
Speed: procedures with micro-cannulae are less time-consuming, because of the techniques used and decreased need for anesthesia (numbing cream or injections).Recovery: the social downtime associated with traditional technique is practically eliminated with less edema and swelling and minor bruising and/or vessel laceration.Value: fillers can be administered with greater precision so the results are more natural and less product is needed to treat most areas.
Flexibility: cannulas allow access to virtually any area of the facial anatomy for improvement with fillers. Previously hard to treat areas such as the delicate area under the eyes, hollow cheeks and the vertical cheek wrinkles are easily corrected using this technique.
New collagen: research suggests that moving the micro cannula back-and-forth in the dermis, stimulates the fibroblasts to produce new collagen, even without the addition of fillers. As a results the skin begins to tighten by initiating growth factors.
