A 23G micro cannula, a precise medical device, is used in cosmetic dermatology and aesthetic treatment to inject dermal fillers. The "23G" refers to the gauge of the cannula, which is a measure of its diameter—the higher the number, the thinner the cannula. Cannula for dermal fillers are designed to be blunt-tipped instead of the sharp needles typically used for other injections.
The 23G microcannula for dermal fillers is commonly used for a variety of medical aesthetic treatments, including:
The choice of cannula size, such as the 23G, is a critical decision that depends on the patient's specific needs and the area being treated. However, the skilled practitioner's preference is also a key factor. For instance, the 23G cannula, relatively thick for a dermal filler cannula, might be preferred for deeper injections or when a larger amount of filler needs to be placed. Conversely, thinner cannulas (higher gauge numbers) are typically favored for more superficial or delicate areas, highlighting the importance of the practitioner's expertise in the procedure.
