Younger patients tend to have moderate atrophy of the middle third of the face, while older patients are more likely to experience volume deficits in other areas such as the temporal or lateral zygomatic.

The number of entry points through which the HA filler is injected depends on the age of the patient and the degree of volume loss.

In order to ensure maximum patient comfort during hyaluronic acid injections, the author uses:

• 23 gauge needle to create cannula entry point;
• cannula 23 gauge, 60mm directly for filler injection – such a tool is convenient to manipulate, control the administration of the drug;
• 0.1 ml lidocaine 2% – for pain relief at each insertion point.

Non-surgical lifting with hyaluronic acid ensures the revolu- tion of the corresponding problematic areas of the face.

Cannula Entry Points:

1. First dot – this is the most important point that opens access for correction with the maximum lifting effect, restoration of the middle third of the face, replenishment of volume in the cheek-zygomatic zone. From this point, hyaluronic acid can be injected into the tear trough, cheekbones and cheeks, as well as marionette lines and the nasolabial fold.
2. Second point is suitable for introducing HA into the mandibular line to correct contour and provide tissue support without overcorrection effect. Also, this access point makes it possible to replenish volumes in the lateral part of the cheeks, which will enhance the lifting effect. If the patient's nasolabial folds are very pronounced even after a medial and lateral facelift, they can also be filled from this point. When working, care must be taken due to the close location of the parotid gland to the cannula entry point.
3. The third point is designed to work with the temporal zone. Most often, injections of hyaluronic acid through this point are performed in aged patients who have a significant volume deficit in the temples. Also, from the third point, you can access the nasolacrimal sulcus and the buccal-zygomatic zone. With a strong loss of facial volume, the doctor injects hyaluronic acid through points 1 and 3, "cross" way.

Slow and careful insertion of the filler reduces the risk of bruising in the temporal region. Please note: in the superficial temporal fascia, the transverse frontal branch of the superficial temporal artery passes, and the venous network is also located.
