Overview
The nasolabial fold can be addressed superficially with a needle. However, understanding that the arterial vasculature can be located anywhere between the dermal undersurface and the periosteum is crucial. Therefore, an intradermal injection technique can be selected which applies the product superficial to any facial artery within the dermal layer. In this video, the pitfalls of an intradermal injection technique will be discussed, and this specific intradermal injection will be simulated on a human body donor.
