Treating Glabellar Lines with Fillers: Supraperiosteal Cannula Technique

Red background

Overview

Glabellar rhytids are best treated by neuromodulator injections into the glabellar muscles. However, in some cases the glabellar requires deep volume support. In this video, the deep, supraperiosteal injection technique for volumizing the glabella with soft tissue fillers is demonstrated. It is important to note that this technique is a high-risk injection technique and should be only performed by expert hands.
