Will fillers by cannula damage my skin quality?

Hi there!
Thank you for your question.
Filler treatments wont have any affect on the quality of your skin. Using a cannula is often the preferred method of injecting as it minimises the risk of bruising and swelling, especially in the delicate under-eye area.
Hope this helps!

Hello, and thank you for your question. Cannula is a technique that is used that can aid in delivering product to an intended area. The cannula is a blunt-tip device that is actually very safe to use. It should not affect your overall skin quality. Some providers prefer cannula versus needle depending on the treatment area and also for decreasing the risk of potentially hitting an artery when injecting. Cannulas can often cause less swelling and bruising that needle technique. Hope this helps!

Thank you for sharing your question. Fillers will not damage your skin nor will use of the cannula. Under the eyes (tear troughs) use of a needle is far more precise and if performed by an oculoplastic surgeon is very safe.
Good luck!

I appreciate your concern, but assure you that if your injections were performed by an experienced, qualified injector, you should not experience any damage to your skin. I use both needles and microcannulas in my practice, depending on the treatment site and other factors. Microcannulas allow for more penetration in the skin, reducing the number of pokes you receive during your treatment. If you have chosen a qualified injector, you should see a good result from your treatment without significant risks.

For certain areas of the face using cannulas can be an asset. They are thin, very pliable, blunted and cause much less trauma than needles which are sharp and ridged. Less punctures have to be made in the face therefore less bruising and pain. For thin delicate areas like under eyes (tear troughs) and for smokers lines cannulas work great. Also the thinness of the filler makes a difference. I like Refyne for those areas. It also draws less water which can cause swelling. Hope this helps. JB

Thank you for your question. Patients who have experienced weight loss commonly experience some laxity in their skin. Dermal fillers can be an excellent way to restore volume to the face to make the skin look and feel more hydrated and refreshed. In the hands of an experienced provider, dermal filler can be injected safely and effectively with a cannula without causing damage to skin.

Using a cannula to inject filler is my preferred method of injection for most areas.  The cannula is safer than using a needle and causes less bruising and swelling.  Another advantage of using a cannula is that it stimulates some of your own collagen formation.  The cannula does not damage your skin quality.Best,Dr. Ort

Fillers will not negatively affect your skin. In fact, most docs agree that filler make the skin look better, particularly the collagen stimulating fillers such as Sculptra and Bellafill. You are on a very good skin care regime.

Thank you for your question. Using the cannula technique to inject dermal fillers such as refyne and defyne is a very safe and effective and should not interfere with the quality of your skin. Keep up with your skin care regimen. 

I utilize non-bruising, blunt tipped cannulas all the time for my filler patients. I have seen absolutely no adverse or side effects of utilizing this technique. Best of luck to you.
