Dr. Rainone talks about Blunt Cannulas

Dermasculpt Blunt Canullas - Sharing my thoughts.

Continuing Medical Education, Las Vegas

I just returned from Vegas Cosmetic Surgery 2012.  I have attended in the past, and it is definitely my favorite conference.  The national and international experts had so much knowledge and experience to share about the latest techniques in facial injections, lasers, and skincare.  I learned so much that will enhance the care I deliver to all of my clients.  Including the bonus sessions, I was able to earn 43.5 hours of continuing medical education credits.  Please stop in so we can chat about how I can help you achieve your cosmetic desires better than ever!

Blunt Cannulas for Fillers

I attended the Vegas Cosmetic Surgery Symposium this month put on by The MuliSpecialty Foundation and learned so much about this exciting new delivery method of your favorite fillers. 

Normally, fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm require many needle sticks to the face and lips to achieve desired results, sometimes 15 -20 or more.

Blunt cannulas, Dermasculpt brand for example, have a soft rounded tip (no point) and can gently move through the tissues of the face to reach the places that need filler.

Because they are blunt, they DO NOT cause painful pricks or cutting and rupturing of tiny blood vessels which cause bruising.   The small blood vessels get gently nudged aside as the blunt tip gently glides through the tissue.  Blunt cannulas only require several and possibly as few as 2 superficial needle "starter holes" to create an entry point for he cannulas.

My early experience supports the claims that there is far less trauma to the tissues resulting in less pain, swelling, & bruising.  The results appear smoother and I am able to fill areas previously off-limits due to vascular risk such as the glabellar, the temples, & under eye hollows / dark circles. 

If you've been scared to try fillers and have put it off, your waiting has paid off.  Come give it a try!
