I'm interested in getting Restylane in my tear trough area. I have hereditary dark circles and some thinning in the skin. Which injection method is better/safer? Syringe or Cannula?

Answer: I Prefer Using a Cannula for Injecting Restylane in the Tear Trough While both a needle and a cannula can be used to inject the tear trough, I prefer the cannula. In my mind, using an instrument that is blunt has clear advantages to a sharp needle. They include:1) Decreased risk of bruising2) Improved safety3) Less needle sticks in a sensitive area of the faceAs long as the product is place deep, I have never seen the bluish color from injection with Restylane. Currently, I only use Restylane in the area and I get the best and longest lasting results in this area with that product.I hope this helps.

Answer: Cannula vs Syringe I much prefer cannula for my injections. I found that using cannula reduces the incidence of bruising and it makes injection more comfortable for the patient. However, I would not recommend choosing a doctor based on whether they prefer cannula or needle. Find a doctor you trust and let them use their preferred method of injection.Best of Luck!
