With subcutaneous injection of chemo treatment, the needle goes into the space between the skin and muscle but does not enter as far the muscle layer.
This involves the use of a larger needle with deeper penetration than the subcutaneous injection.
A pump can be implanted surgically into the subcutaneous tissue (the layer between the skin and the muscle) with the catheter threaded into the artery.

 Subcutaneous Administration (Hypodermoclysis). Small Animal Diagnostic and Treatment Techniques
If the needle is inserted across the fold of skin, the needle may penetrate both folds of skin and the injection will be deposited on the haircoat (or sprayed at the person holding the animal).
To enter the subcutaneous space, pick up a fold of skin and insert the needle under the skin, parallel to the long axis of the skin fold.
Once the needle is in the subcutaneous space, you can release the skin fold or you can keep the skin tented as you administer the fluid.

 Encyclopedia of Nursing and Allied Health: Subcutaneous injection
A small piece of skin and subcutaneous tissue is pinched between the thumb and forefinger, and the needle inserted quickly at a 45-degree angle.

A sterile cotton swab should be pressed over the injection site as the needle is quickly withdrawn, and the swab is taped to the skin for a few minutes, if required.

 Imitrex Injection Drug Information Imitrex Injection
Cluster Headache: The efficacy of IMITREX Injection in the acute treatment of cluster headache was demonstrated in 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-period crossover trials.
IMITREX Injection is intended to relieve your migraine or cluster headache, but not to prevent or reduce the number of attacks you experience.
Other data suggest that sumatriptan treatment is not associated with an increase in early recurrence of headache, and that treatment with sumatriptan has little effect on the incidence of latter-occurring headaches (i.e., those occurring after 2, but before 18 or 24 hours).

The purpose of the study was to explore the effects of two different injection techniques (10-second and 30-second) on pain and bruising associated with subcutaneous administration of Lovenox.
The hypotheses examined whether or not the use of a 30-second subcutaneous injection technique with Lovenox would result in lower levels of perceived site-pain and bruising when compared with a 10-second injection technique on the same hospitalized patient.
Research is demonstrating that LMWHs are becoming the drugs of choice in a range of clinical settings, due to their high bioavailability in the body, long half-life, and more predictable anticoagulation response.
