Cannulas are instruments used in aesthetic medicine to inject substances such as hyaluronic acid and other filler substances. Unlike needles, cannulas have a rounded, blunt tip that lets them glide under the skin with less resistance and less damage to the tissues. Cannulas are used to treat various areas of the body, such as the face, the hands and the décolletage. Some of the most common uses of cannulas in aesthetic medicine are:
- Filling wrinkles and facial folds
- Augmenting the lips
- Restoring lost volume in the cheeks
- Filling under-eye hollows
- Reducing the appearance of under-eye bags
- Rejuvenating the hands
Overall, cannulas are a very useful tool in aesthetic medicine, because they make it possible to achieve effective results with less damage to the tissues and less discomfort for the patient.
