Introducing DermaSculpt™ Microcannula DermaSculpt™ uses non-bruising, extra smooth microcannulas so fillers can be injected into the skin with no anesthesia and little to no pain. With DermaSculpt™, the same wrinkles and creases that were treatable by injecting dermal fillers through needles can be smoothed.
What is 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 is a cannula for fillers?
And what does it have to do with dermal fillers? A cannula in this context is a blunt-tipped, hollow tube that functions as an alternative to a needle when administering dermal fillers. Dermal fillers (such as those sold under the Juvéderm brand name) have traditionally been administered using sharp-tipped needles.Jul 3, 2019
What size cannula for fillers?
Cannulae that are 27-gauge and smaller are no less likely to penetrate vessels than needles of the same gauge. In terms of safety, industry experts recommend the use of 25-gauge or larger cannula when delivery with a needle is not essential to the aesthetic outcome.Jul 29, 2020
What are blunt cannulas?
Blunt, thin-walled cannulas are intended for general injection or aspiration. XL cannulas offer increased overall length for easier access in patients with high myopia or longer eyes. The thin wall allows a high flow rate. The luer lock hub enables easy, secure connection to a backflush handle or syringe.Oct 19, 2020
What's the difference between a needle and a cannula?
A cannula is a thin tube like a needle, but longer, and instead of a sharp edge to pierce the skin, it has a blunt tip. Since a cannula cannot puncture the skin, a needle is used first to make a puncture hole in the skin that the cannula can then be inserted through.Jun 16, 2020
What is a cannula tip?
In aesthetic medicine, a blunt-tip cannula or microcannula (also called smooth tip microcannula, blunt tipped cannula, or simply microcannula) is a small tube with an edge that is not sharp and an extrusion port or pore near the tip which is designed for atraumatic subdermal injections of fluids or gels.
Are cannulas safer than needles?
Conclusions: Cannulas, in all measured sizes except 27-gauge, required greater forces for intraarterial penetration compared with correspondingly sized needles, confirming the safety of 22- and 25-gauge cannulas; 27-gauge cannulas, however, required similar forces as 27-gauge needles, indicating that 27-gauge cannulas ...
Is cannula better for filler?
Because of their unique structure compared to sharp-tip needles, cannulas are preferable for wide treatment areas that need many sessions to fill. Cannulas are more maneuverable around delicate areas of the skin, have higher accuracy with dermal sites, and allow for a continuous flow of filler towards the site.
Is a cannula a needle?
What is a cannula needle? A small blunt tip cannula is a thin, flexible tube with a small opening on the side. Just like a sharp needle, it injects fillers. The advantage, however, is that the use of a cannula has shown to cause less potential damage to blood vessels.Mar 14, 2019
