Cold Hands Embalming Tip of the Week: Use 50 Cav to Hypo Inject Facial Lacerations Before Cosmetizing

Post mortem facial  restoration doesn’t have to be intimidating when you understand what chemicals🧪 to use and how. FULL preservation and adequate firming and bleaching are essential to success before applying cosmetics. 
I try to use a small-medium sized needle  such as a 22 gauge and I always use eye  protection and a face shield or respirator when using cavity chemicals 🧪 for  hypo injection.
Pro tip: ⚰️🧪Allow the chemicals time  to preserve and firm overnight. This technique requires patience and time for proteins to coagulate before applying cosmetics  can done successfully. A little goes a long way but make sure to fully saturate the defected area. Remember, it’s an ART and a SCIENCE!
