Hypodermic Tissue Building
Temple concerns:
-A sunken temple is usually large enough for radiating -Use multiple points of entry as necessary -Make sure that you will fill the temple completely, no sharpness between the line of the temple and the tissue builder
Hidden points of entry: Cheeks
-Angle of the jaw -Behind wing of the nose -Behind the tragus -Behind the ear lobe -Corners of the mouth
Lips Concerns:
-Be careful not to over inject -Inject each side separately - Inside the nostrils is mainly for the integumentary lips
Hidden points of entry: Back of hand
-Behind the closest knuckles -Wrists
Hidden points of entry: Lips
-Behind the medial lobe -Nostrils -Lateral corners of the line of lip closure
Hidden points of entry: Eyeballs
-Between the inner canthus or medial corner -Direct along the bony edge of the cavity until you hit the fatty pad, then inject
Hidden points of entry: Fingers
-Between the knuckles -Sides of fingers
Hidden points of entry: Nose
-Bridge -Inside the nose
Hidden points of entry: Forehead
-Eyebrows (up) -Hair (down)
Hidden points of entry: Supraorbital Area
-In the eyebrows
Hidden points of entry: Lobe
-Lobe -Behind top of the helix
Hidden Points of Entry: Neck/Submandibular area
-Lower center of the chin -Inside the ear -Behind the lobe -Angle of the jaw
Chemicals (you'll need for the project!)
-Massage cream -Tissue Builder (Firming or regular) -Tissue builder solvent -Needle -Syringe
Hidden points of entry: Temples
-Outer edge of eyebrows -Hairline above the temple -Behind the top of the ear -Sideburn
Cheek Concerns:
-Pay attention to the nasolabial fold (don't smooth it away) -Use a finger or a flat instrument to help define it -Typically requires 2 opposite points of entry
General Procedure:
-Select injection point -Insert needle at end of the area to be built -Depress plunger and slowly withdraw -For larger areas, radiate needle using the same entry point -Slowly inject until the surface of the skin is slightly above surrounding areas -Smooth with digital pressure
The difference between firming and regular tissue builder is that
Firming contains formaldehyde
Hypodermic Tissue Building
Injection of a special tissue building liquid through use of syringe and needle to restore natural contour
Syringe
Instrument used to inject or aspirate fluids
Contour
Outline or surface form
To prepare needle with massage cream:
Remove head of syringe and use spatula to fill
Tissue Builder
Substance used to elevate sunken or emaciated tissue to normal level by hypodermic injection
To prepare needle with tissue builder:
Suction, pour through back, hold upright and press plunger to remove air bubbles
Common Places for Tissue Builder
-Temple -Eyes -Lips -Cheeks -Hands -Supraorbital Area -Mouth -Neck -Forehead -Chin
Hidden points of entry: Sides of hands
-Thumb and forefinger -Baby finger at knuckle
Supraorbital Area concerns:
-Watch for puffiness caused by tissue builder leaking into the infraorbital area while injecting the eyeball -Place your finger lightly on the eyelid to control where your tissue builder goes -When injecting the supraorbital area, inject downward as opposed to horizontal
Hypodermic
Applied or administered under the skin
