In this week's episode of the Aesthetics Mastery Show we continue our look at the riskiest areas of the face to inject, this time diving into the 5 arteries that run parallel to where your needle or cannula goes, thus increasing the likelihood and severity of vascular occlusion.

Dr Tim examines arteries such as the superior and inferior labial arteries, near lip injections, and the dorsal nasal artery, near non-surgical rhinoplasty injections, and explains why they are so dangerous and what you can do to avoid hitting them.

As discussed in today's show, in 2019 I decided to put to bed the perennial debate about whether aspirating is really necessary. I tested aspiration times across 8 different types of filler, including Juvederm and Revolax, using 4 different needles/cannula...and best of all, I used my own arm!
