Dermasculpt Microcannulas are advancing the cosmetic filler procedure. These blunt tipped flexible microcannulas allow for fewer entry points, can cover a larger area, and reduce patient pain and bruising...
In the US, soft tissue fillers are currently administered using sharp, hypodermic needles. The choice in length and gauge of needle is determined by the injector's preferences, as well as the physical properties of the filler itself. While some adverse events are injector-dependent, others may be due to risks inherent to using sharp needles. The use of new, flexible cannulas with blunt tips may potentially both lower these risks and change the techniques by which fillers are administered in the future.
“In the past, bruising resulted from dermal filler injections using traditional sharp needles. This caused frustration for both the physician and patient,” Dr Assassa says. “This has now been eliminated using the blunt cannula which passes under the skin and doesn't cut the skin or blood vessels, which is how it eliminates bruising and pain.”
"Blunt-tip cannulas are revolutionary in that they cause much less bruising, which directly translates to less or no downtime. My aesthetic patients often desire a 'quick fix,' and novel blunt-tip cannulas can help me perform atraumatic treatments with the least downtime possible, more so than with traditional needles," says Susan Weinkle, M.D....
