Aesthetic Medicine & Anti-ageing
In Aesthetic medicine, a Blunt-tip microcannula (also called smooth tip microcannula, Blunt tipped cannula or simply blunt needle) is a small tube, with an edge that is not sharp, designed for atraumatic intradermal injections of fluids. Depending on the size of the inter diameter, it can be used either for fat transfer, or for the injection of fillers, like Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen, poly-L-lactic acid, CaHA, etc.
As of January 2012, only the Dermasculpt microcannula is the sole blunt-tipped, flexible cannula approved by the FDA for use in the United States for use with soft tissue fillers.

Famous quotes containing the words aesthetic and/or medicine:
“... it was religion that saved me. Our ugly church and parochial school provided me with my only aesthetic outlet, in the words of the Mass and the litanies and the old Latin hymns, in the Easter lilies around the altar, rosaries, ornamented prayer books, votive lamps, holy cards stamped in gold and decorated with flower wreaths and a saint’s picture.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“As there is a use in medicine for poisons, so the world cannot move without rogues.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
