Filling cannulas and bioplasty: Instruments for non-invasive aesthetic procedures

 

In the world of aesthetic medicine, non-invasive procedures have gained significant popularity in recent years. Among the most requested techniques are dermal fillers and bioplasty, which allow the improvement of the skin's appearance and redefinition of facial contours without the need for surgery. To carry out these treatments safely and effectively, medical professionals use specialized instruments known as filler and bioplasty cannulas.

 

What are filler and bioplasty cannulas?

Filler and bioplasty cannulas are medical instruments specifically designed for the application of filler substances in different areas of the body, primarily on the face. Unlike traditional needles, cannulas have a blunt and flexible tip that allows for a smoother and safer insertion into tissues.

These cannulas are characterized by having thin walls, which facilitates an excellent finish in the application of the filler. Their design is intended to minimize tissue trauma, reduce the risk of bruising, and provide more natural and uniform results.

 

Natural-fill Cannulas

Natural-fill cannulas are among the most popular options for filler and bioplasty procedures. They are known for their versatility and are available in different gauges and lengths to adapt to various treatment areas.

Natural-fill Cannulas 25Gx50mm

These cannulas are ideal for working in areas that require precision, such as the contours of the lips or the fine lines around the eyes. Their fine gauge (25G) allows for smooth insertion and precise control of the filler.

Natural-fill Cannulas 27Gx40mm

With an even finer gauge (27G), these cannulas are perfect for treating delicate areas such as the periocular area or for making subtle touch-ups. Their 40mm length provides good reach without compromising maneuverability.

Natural-fill beta Cannulas 22Gx50mm

These larger gauge (22G) cannulas are suitable for the application of denser fillers or for treating areas that require a larger volume, such as the cheekbones or chin. Their "beta" design may offer additional features to improve the experience of the professional and the patient.

 

Dispoderm Cannulas

The Dispoderm cannula line offers a variety of options for different professional needs and preferences.

Cannula for filler 30G 0.31 x 25 mm

This ultra-thin cannula is perfect for precision work in very delicate areas, such as the contour of the eyes or lips. Its small diameter allows for virtually painless insertion and exceptional control of the filler.

Cannula for filler 27G 0.41 x 40 mm

Slightly thicker than the previous one, this cannula offers a good balance between precision and filler flow capacity. It is versatile and can be used in various facial areas.

Cannula for filler 26G 0.46 x 25 mm and 26G 0.46 x 38 mm

These cannulas offer two different lengths with the same gauge, allowing the professional to choose according to the depth and extent of the area to be treated. They are suitable for most facial filler procedures.

Cannula for filler 23G 0.63 x 70 mm

This larger gauge and length cannula is ideal for treatments that require the application of larger volumes of filler or to reach deeper areas. It may be useful in cheek augmentation procedures or facial contour remodeling.

 

Features and benefits of filler and bioplasty cannulas

Filler and bioplasty cannulas offer numerous advantages over traditional needles in non-invasive aesthetic procedures:
1. Safety: The blunt tip of most cannulas significantly reduces the risk of piercing blood vessels, which decreases the likelihood of bruising and other side effects.
2. Less pain: As they are less traumatic than needles, cannulas usually cause less pain during the procedure, improving the patient's experience.
3. Uniform distribution: Cannulas allow for a more uniform distribution of the filler, resulting in more natural and harmonious results.
4. Versatility: The variety of gauges and lengths available allows professionals to adapt their choice to the specific needs of each procedure and treatment area.
5. Precision: The ultra-thin walls and finishes of the cannulas facilitate precise control of the flow and placement of the filler.
6. Less inflammation: As they cause less trauma to the tissues, procedures performed with cannulas usually result in less post-treatment inflammation.

 

Applications of filler and bioplasty cannulas

Filler and bioplasty cannulas are used in a wide range of non-invasive aesthetic procedures, including:
1. Lip augmentation: Fine cannulas allow for a natural and uniform lip augmentation, minimizing the risk of irregularities or overcorrection.
2. Filling of nasolabial folds: Medium-length cannulas are ideal for smoothing these lines that run from the nose to the corners of the lips.
3. Cheek augmentation: Larger gauge and length cannulas allow for the application of more significant volumes to enhance and define the cheekbones.
4. Periocular rejuvenation: Ultra-fine cannulas are perfect for treating the delicate areas around the eyes, smoothing dark circles and fine lines.
5. Chin remodelling: Longer and larger gauge cannulas can be used to modify the chin profile without surgery.
6. Correction of facial asymmetries: The precision of the cannulas allows for subtle adjustments to improve facial symmetry.
7. Body bioplasty: Some longer cannulas can be used for bioplasty procedures in other areas of the body, such as buttocks or calves.

 

Considerations for choosing cannulas

When selecting the appropriate cannula for a specific procedure, professionals should consider several factors:
1. Treatment area: More delicate areas require finer cannulas, while areas that need more volume may benefit from larger gauge cannulas.
2. Type of filler: The viscosity of the filler product will influence the choice of cannula gauge. Denser fillers require larger diameter cannulas.
3. Depth of insertion: The length of the cannula should be suitable to reach the desired depth without compromising control.
4. Patient preferences: Some patients may be more sensitive to pain, which may influence the choice of finer cannulas.
