Overview
Treating horizontal neck lines is associated with a non-substantial risk to damage deeper located i.e. subplatysmal structures and to cause serious adverse events following soft tissue filler injections. Therefore, a cannula injection technique was established to avoid penetrating deeper into the neck. Learn in this video how to perform the subdermal cannula injection technique for improving horizontal neck lines.
