Preparing the Turtlepin Injection Applicator

1. Assemble the Applicator

• Inspect the Turtlepin for any visible damage before use.
• Select a compatible syringe pre-filled with your chosen dermal filler product.

2. Attach the Syringe

• Secure the syringe into the applicator, ensuring it is properly aligned.
• Double-check that the plunger mechanism is functioning smoothly.

3. Check the Cannula or Needle

• Attach the appropriate cannula or needle for the procedure. Popular options include blunt-tip cannulas for safety or sharp needles for precision.
• Confirm the gauge and length are suitable for the treatment area.

Step-by-Step Guide: Using the Turtlepin Injection Applicator

Step 1: Prepare the Patient

• Cleanse the treatment area with an appropriate antiseptic solution.
• Apply BLT 123 Numbing Cream or a similar topical anesthetic to ensure patient comfort.

Step 2: Prime the Applicator

• Gently press the applicator’s trigger mechanism to expel air bubbles from the syringe.
• Confirm that the filler flows smoothly through the cannula or needle.

Step 3: Begin Injection

• Using your non-dominant hand, gently stretch the skin to create a stable surface.
• Hold the Turtlepin applicator at a 30–45° angle for superficial injections or perpendicular for deeper layers.
• Apply steady pressure to the trigger, ensuring even distribution of the filler.

Step 4: Monitor Filler Placement

• Regularly assess the symmetry and volume achieved in the treated area.
• Use techniques like retrograde threading or cross-hatching to enhance integration and minimize lumps.

Step 5: Post-Injection Care

• Massage the area gently to smooth out the filler.
• Provide aftercare instructions, including avoiding intense heat, pressure, or exercise for 24–48 hours.
