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!
