What are the pros and cons of using a cannula with Profhilo?

Question

i did my profhilo treatment yesterday, i am 34 years old, the doctor made the treatment with cannula instead the 5 dots technique i google a lot and have not saw many places that mention this treatment goes with cannula, only some mentions that it can be done with a needle or a cannula i wonder what the pros and cons using a cannula in this treatment?

Hello There, 
Firstly, I am a massive profhilo fan! What it does for skin quality is unparalleled! I am sure you will love it too!
Profhilo is a deep dermal treatment! The Dermis is the second layer of your skin, The dermis is similar in structure to a mattress and it supports the epidermis (top layer of skin, what you see & feel from the outside) As the dermis ages the "Mattress" can become less efficient and less structured. Therefore by putting profhilo into the Dermis, the high quantity of uncrosslinked hyaluronic acid (32mg/ml) can help give support back to this layer: thus improving collagen and elastin support, and supporting the cells that make the new collagen, and a lot of hydration (giving the skin glow!) 
I say all of this as manipulating a cannula in the dermal space would be very difficult to do, painful and inefficient. profhilo is placed with a needle. And the product itself settles nicely into place on its own, it doesn't need to be spread. Its important that the profhilo is in the dermis and not deeper or shallower, otherwise you will really miss out on its benefits!
I hope that helps!! 
Have a great day!
Dr Dallas Walker
