    Abstract: Described is a method for injecting fillers into the dermis. The method provides a technique for arcing the needle to create a lasting support structure within a patient's dermal tissue. Described is an act of inserting a needle attached to a syringe filled with a dermal filler into a patient's facial dermis at a strategic insertion point. Once inserted, pressure is applied to hub of the needle to cause it to arc within the dermis and create pockets of space within the dermis. The needle is used to dissect the tissue in the subepidermal plane that is creating the depression showing on the epidermis. The syringe is used to release the filler into the dermis while simultaneously applying pressure to the hub of the needle while withdrawing the needle from the patient's dermis. Filler is injected strategically within the patient's dermis to raise a facial depression, wrinkle, or fold.
