How big are the needles used for injectable fillers?

Question:
How big are the needles used for injectable fillers?

Answer:
Needles used for injectable fillers are quite  small, on the order of what is called a 28 gauge. There are even smaller ones  called 32 gauge needles.  These are among  the smallest needles used in Medicine and they help to ensure minimal  discomfort. Additionally, we are proud to be the first practice in our area to  use blunt tip cannulas for filler treatments, especially around the eyes, and  these have shown dramatically less bruising than with traditional needles.  Coupled with the best topical anesthetic  available, this helps to ensure the most comfortable experience possible.
