![]() ![]() ![]() Regarding the filler itself, Juvéderm Voluma XC has been FDA-approved for use on the mid-face (cheeks) since 2013. Zeichner aptly likens it to an artist, who "can use many different types of brushes to create beautiful work on the canvas."įor the time being, Zeichner plans to continue injecting Juvéderm Voluma XC using a needle, as he always has, saying that, "I personally inject with needles because I feel I have more control over the filler placement as compared to cannulas." But again, everyone is different. Basically, this approval just provides them with another tool in their injectables toolbox. The bottom line, though, according to Zeichner, is that every doctor is different and should be able to inject using the method that they personally prefer. ![]() Fewer entry points to the skin (piercings of a needle), mean that for Marmur, she "can treat the entire cheekbone, undereye, and midface with one injection with a cannula." For these reasons, Marmur, along with fellow board-certified dermatologist Doris Day, prefer using a cannula in facial areas where they want to restore volume.īoth Day and Marmur alternate between a needle and a cannula, with Marmur choosing to use a needle when she wants "total control of the filler." For Day, she says, "A needle is great for a product in certain areas of the face where I want to deliver a depot injection or create lift," and cannulas are used in areas where she aims "to deliver product in a smoother fashion to restore volume and contours." Additionally, "Cannulas tend to be longer than most needles and therefore reach more areas with fewer entry points into the skin," explains New York City dermatologist Ellen Marmur. ![]()
