What Are Microcannulas?

Microcannulas are small, flexible, blunt-tip needles used to inject facial fillers. Unlike traditional sharp needles, microcannulas offer a more refined method for delivering fillers, such as Restylane®, Juvederm®, and Sculptra® Aesthetic, into the skin.

The use of microcannulas has gained rapid popularity, particularly in major cities like New York, where minimizing social downtime and optimizing results are key priorities for busy professionals.

Benefits of Microcannulas for Facial Filler Injections

Patients who choose filler treatments in NYC often seek results with minimal recovery time. Microcannulas offer numerous advantages that make them a preferred option over traditional sharp needles:

Reduced Risk of Bruising: Microcannulas are less likely to puncture blood vessels, significantly lowering the chance of post-treatment bruising.
Faster Recovery: With less trauma to the skin, patients can resume their daily activities sooner.
Enhanced Comfort: The blunt tip of the microcannula glides smoothly under the skin, reducing discomfort during the injection.
Better Precision in Sensitive Areas: Microcannulas are particularly effective for delicate regions like under the eyes (tear troughs), the lips, and around scars, allowing for precise filler placement.
Fewer Injection Sites: Unlike sharp needles that require multiple punctures, microcannulas can treat larger areas through a single entry point.

What to Expect During a Microcannula Filler Treatment

On the day of your treatment at Leong Facial Plastic Surgery in NYC, Dr. Leong will use a traditional needle to create a small entry point for the microcannula. Once the entry is made, the flexible microcannula is gently inserted to deliver the filler into the targeted areas.

How Microcannulas Work

The blunt tip of the microcannula reduces the risk of trauma to blood vessels and nerves, making it much safer and more comfortable than traditional sharp needles.

By creating less disruption to the tissue, microcannulas also minimize swelling and post-injection discomfort, which is particularly beneficial when injecting sensitive areas like the lips and tear troughs.

Areas Best Treated With Microcannulas

Tear Troughs (Under-Eye Hollows)
Cheeks and Mid-Face
Lips (Minimizes Swelling)
Temples
Nasolabial Folds
Around Scars

Many NYC patients report that the microcannula technique is more comfortable than previous filler treatments, with a quicker recovery and superior results.
