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.
