Overview
This video demonstrates the classic superficial cannula injection technique for correcting the nasolabial fold. Hereby, Layer 2 is addressed with a longitudinal = parallel to the long axis of the nasolabial fold soft tissue filler-based injection approach. The vascular anatomy of this complex facial region is discussed and an injection simulation is performed to allow for a detailed look under the skin and into the facial soft tissues.
