OVERVIEW/COURSE DESCRIPTION

Cannulas are a valuable tool for aesthetic injectors and may decrease the risk of bruising and vascular occlusion when used by expertly trained experienced injectors. Cannulas can be an effective tool to deliver dermal filler or PRP (platelet rich plasma) to a large area with a single point of entry, thereby potentially decreasing patients’ risk for complications and downtime.

PREREQUISITE

This class is designed for medical professionals holding an active and unrestricted license having previously completed an introductory class in dermal fillers and 6 months of injecting experience in dermal fillers.

GOALS

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to identify indications for the use of cannulas, safety considerations, techniques for optimal patient outcomes, and practice injecting dermal fillers with cannulas in a supported learning environment.

Please Note: This class does not involve the use of PRP nor the instruction of tear trough injections.
