Voluma: Does it have to be injected just above the bone, or can it be injected into the softer areas of the lower cheeks & face?

Should it be injected at varying depths? What are the different techniques for injecting? Is one better than another? Why would PS not use a cannula to administer it? Had Voluma injections (no cannula), it was EXTREMELY painful. I'm not usually a sissy, but it hurt so bad I could almost scream. PS was very forceful with the needle. Read this should've been a pretty tolerable procedure. 4 wks later, still painful, lumpy & unevenly distributed. Thoughts?
