I have had filler a couple times in different areas of my face and its been done with a cannula and with a regular needle. Is one technique better than the other?

Answer: Cannula versus needle for fillers The use of a cannula versus a needle to inject fillers is based on the preference of the physician performing the injections. I would not say that one gives better results than the other, but some physicians prefer using a cannula and some prefer using a needle. Some physicians may use both a cannula and a needle as well.

Answer: Cannula vs needle for filler injection Hi there, great question. Needles are traditionally used to inject dermal fillers, but they can be uncomfortable and require multiple pokes. With a cannula you can often have just 1 or 2 access points, so less needle sticks in the sensitive layer of the skin, to treat a fairly large area. Cannulas are also blunt at the tip and so less traumatic to the tissue. I believe cannulas are safer to use in delicate treatment areas such as the tear trough. However, there are some areas and instances where a needle is necessary! Hope this helps.
