What is a Blunt-tip Microcannula for Dermal Fillers?

Blunt-tip cannula is a small flexible needle like used to inject dermal fillers.   It is needle like without the sharp tip; therefore making it a blunt tip.    

There are numerous benefits in using a blunt-tip microcannula.   Since the microcannulas are not sharp at the tip, it reduces the risk of puncturing a vein, artery or nerves during the procedure.    This reduces the risk of bruising, swelling and intravascular injection of dermal fillers.  

• Reduced Bruising and Swelling
• Reduced pain
• Quick recovery
• Reduced risk of tissue injury
• Reduced risk of vein, artery or nervous system injuries
• Reduced risk of skin necrosis 
• Reduced risk of intra-vascular dermal filler injection
• Flexible tip 
• Even distribution of the dermal filler
• Precise injection of the dermal filler 
• Safer to inject deeper areas of the face
• Improved patient experience
• Increased Safety profile

Since the cannulas are longer and flexible, it makes the injection easier from a single entry point.  

Step 1: A puncture of the skin is needed via a needle (included in the kit)

• This is a single entry point to introduce the Blunt-tip cannula 
• The corresponding needle is used to puncture the skin (this is a superficial skin puncture)
