TEMPLE FILLER
​
Many people know the power of dermal fillers when it comes to bringing back bounce to your jawline or giving your lips a glamorous boost. But what about the temples? This frequently overlooked area of the face is likewise deserving of dermal filler attention. The entire face tends to lose elasticity and volume as people age. This loss of bone, fat, muscle, and other tissue can cause the face to appear haggard. Volume reduction in this area might make the eyes appear weary and down-turned.
The loss of volume in the temples can have a big impact on the rest of the face. By targeting temple hollows with an injectable dermal filler, patients can achieve a lifted appearance in a non-surgical way. It’s like having a mini facelift, without the need for scalpels.

WHAT IS A TEMPLE FILLER?
Temple fillers are non-surgical injections that reinvigorate the temples like a mini facelift. They drive moisture and volume back into the temporal area using a biodegradable hyaluronic acid (HA) gel.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar that helps keep our skin plump and hydrated via water retention. By injecting hyaluronic acid back into depleted temple areas, the hyaluronic acid stores that have dwindled through time are replenished.

WHY TEMPLES MATTER WHEN IT COMES TO FACIAL BEAUTY?
Your temples give your upper face a smooth and contoured appearance. Face temples are the small flat areas that sit at the edge of your brows, running up to the tip of your ears and back to your hairline. They help to define and shape a youthful face when they are plump and full.
In a younger person, full temples help to cushion the face from the bone, helping the face shape to softly sweep downwards into a thinner jaw. This creates the much celebrated ‘heart-shaped face’ in women and a solidly defined upper face in men. Full face temples are therefore key when it comes to creating a well-shaped and balanced facial appearance.
​
WHO IS VULNERABLE TO GETTING HOLLOW TEMPLES?
Slim individuals suffer more volume loss in the temples because they have less support from fatty tissues to begin with. Those who have also lost a lot of weight or those who frequently exercise are also more vulnerable.
Typically, volume depletion begins to accelerate in an individual’s late twenties, but may not be fully noticeable until they reach later life stages.
Volume loss in the face temples may not even be picked up as many people are simply unaware that temples also age. It’s only after treatment that many people realise just how impactful a temple filler treatment can be.
