Overview
Vertical glabellar lines are in the majority of the cases responsive to neuromodulator injections due to the relaxing effect on the glabellar musculature. However, if the lines are severe, a soft tissue filler treatment might be required to eliminate the dermal depressions. In this video, the subdermal cannula technique is demonstrated for treating glabellar lines with soft tissue fillers. It is important to note that this technique is a high-risk injection technique and should be only performed by expert hands.
