Disposable Blunt Tip Cannula Blunt Microcannula Needle For Derma Filler Injection

What Is a Micro-Cannula?

A micro-cannula is a very thin, tiny, flexible hollow tube with a smooth round tip. The sharp end is gone! Instead of many needle sticks, we only need a very few to provide entry points for the cannula. That means fewer needle marks, less pain and far less probability of bruising.

What Are the Benefits of a Micro-Cannula over a Needle?

• Reduced pain
• Less bleeding
• Less bruising
• Less tissue trauma or swelling

Micro-cannula injection requires a single entry point for a large area instead of many as occurs with a traditional needle. Because the tip of the cannula is smooth and rounded, small vessels are simply pushed out of the way instead of being cut – so instead of pain you’ll most frequently experience little more than pressure.

Why Use A Microcannula?

The decision to use a microcannula depends on the preference of the injector. Although needles are easy to use and can place product precisely where directed, they are more likely to cause bruising or transfer filler substance into a blood vessel. At depths where fillers are typically placed, most blood vessels cannot be seen. The utmost care will always be taken when injecting near areas that are more likely to bruise or with blood vessels we try to avoid. For instance, the tear trough region under the eye is more likely to bruise with a needle. Although not foolproof, microcannulas greatly reduce the risk of bruising and unintended injection into a vessel. Cannulas can also reduce trauma, discomfort and swelling.

So Why Use A Needle?

Since needles are more rigid and sharp, they can be inserted easily and placed just about anywhere with precision. They can be placed at all depths of skin, under the skin and directly on top of bone. Cannulas can be injected at different levels of soft tissue, but not easily into the dermis of the skin. They are used when soft tissue implantation is desired beneath the dermis. A needle is sharp and easily penetrates the skin. It can be placed in the superficial, middle or deep layer of skin. Needles are also used for serial puncture methods of filler placement.

Do Fillers Come With Cannulas?

Fillers typically come packaged with at least two needles per syringe. These needles have sharp beveled ends that easily pierce the skin and soft tissue structures to precisely deliver the filler to its target. The needles can be substituted for others of different length and sizes. Cannulas are purchased separately, are more flexible and can be used instead of the supplied needles. Dr. Michael Lum uses a variety of cannula brands and sizes depending on the specific application.
