Cannula or needle – What to prefer for a particular cosmetic procedure, each doctor decides for himself. On the one hand – many specialists with extensive experience in injection procedures prefer a needle, because they feel better with it the nuances of drug administration. On the other hand – even very experienced professionals often prefer to take a cannula to treat particularly delicate areas of the face.
Institute Hyalual has developed cannulae that allow physicians to perform Hyalual treatments effectively and safely without fear of complications. Doctor, plastic surgeon, cosmetologist, specialist in injection techniques in aesthetic medicine, Institute Hyalual expert Natalya Romashchenko told about the features of cannulas and methods of their use, read on estet-portal.com.
Why cannula is superior to other injection methods
Today, in aesthetic medicine, there are several invasive ways to administer drugs to the face and body: using a needle, dermaroller and cannula.
The most popular and accessible, familiar to many doctors method of administering drugs – These are needle injections. But still, this method is not perfect, since with needle injections there is a risk of bruising and bruising, which significantly lengthens the patient's rehabilitation period after the procedures.
In addition, in some cases, when working with a needle in deep layers, there is a risk of damage to the vessel, which threatens to lead to such formidable complications as embolization of arteries and veins.
Therefore, many professionals prefer to use the more secure – cannula method of drug administration in the area of the face, neck, décolleté, hands.
Advantages of the cannula technique:
- absence of bruising and bruising;
- relatively slight swelling in the injection area;
- a significant reduction in the rehabilitation period or its absence at all;
- reducing the risk of vascular embolism and injuries of the neurovascular bundles;
- possibility of volumetric correction of hazardous areas with uniform distribution of the drug.
Institute Hyalual has developed Hyalual cannulas that have the following features:
- perfect balance of flexibility and stiffness, which makes it easy to penetrate fibrous tissues, and at the same time easily bypass vessels and nerves;
- the side hole is close to the end of the cannula, which allows you to accurately place the drug;
- Wide internal diameter of the cannula allows easy injection.
These properties of the Hyalual cannulas offer advantages over other injectables when redermalization or especially facial volumization procedures are to be performed.
How to properly use the cannula in some injection procedures
For anti-aging procedures with Hyalual preparations, it is important not only to offer the patient a technique that will give a quick effect, but also not to disappoint with a difficult rehabilitation period after the introduction of fillers. To do this, the doctor must carefully choose the method and technique of administration, determine the methods of injection, which depend on the drug. Institute Hyalual Cannulas Recommended Use:
- for performing the redermalization lifting technique with Hyalual at a concentration of 1.8% and 2.2%;
- for the method of prolonged revitalization with the innovative drug Xela Revive;
- for volumization into the hypodermis and supraperiosteally with Xela Reshape universal filler.
