Will My Face Bruise?
What causes bruising?
Traditional needles are rigid and have a sharp point, which can puncture a blood vessel during an injection, causing bruising under your skin.
Dr. Hong has researched and trained on using cannula fillers, which have been found to substantially prevent bruising for our clients.
What Is Cannula Filler?
Cannula filler is a flexible needle with a blunt tip, unlike traditional needles which are rigid and have a sharp point. Because they do not have a sharp tip, cannulas may be less likely to puncture a blood vessel when fillers are injected, which helps Dr. Hong to prevent bruising with fillers.
In addition, cannulas tend to be longer than most needles and therefore reach more areas with fewer entry points into the skin. Cannula injections have been proven to cause less swelling and bruising.
Dr. Hong is deeply committed to our client’s safety and comfort, which is why we are trained in cannula filler injection.
What Is AccuVein®?
In addition to cannula filler, Dr. Hong has now added another safety procedure measure by utilizing the game changing medical technology device, AccuVein®.
Most clients express concerns relating to recovery time, discomfort, potential side-effects, and bruising. Unfortunately, even with the safest cosmetic injectables administered by experienced cosmetic injectors, some clients will still experience bruising. This is due to the facial tissue being a vascular complex made up of thousands of tiny veins and blood vessels.
AccuVein® is a cutting-edge vein visualization technology that enhancing the safety of injectable procedures. Using AccuVein®’s game-changing technology, medical aesthetic providers have the opportunity to view the vast network of veins and blood vessels underneath the skin prior to treatment. An experienced practitioner can incorporate the pain-free step of AccuVein®’s vein visualization to see a roadmap of the individual patient’s vasculature. The veins can then be avoided during the injections, making the treatment more comfortable, dramatically reducing ugly bruising, and ultimately decreasing post-treatment discomfort. AccuVein® gives both doctors and clients peace-of-mind, reduced bruising, and gets clients back to their normal routine right away, with zero downtime.
