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 oft-forgotten area of the face is also worthy of some dermal filler attention.

The reason is that a 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 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.

The beauty benefits of temple fillers on face

Temple filler injections can deliver a mini facelift without surgery. When HA is injected, it acts like an inflated cushion to support tissues that have lost volume or elasticity. So, by restoring this cushion, an individual’s temporal area is noticeably recontoured and brought back to its youthful appearance.

The temples also affect the structures that surround them, so by re-volumising this area, face roundness is restored. By strengthening scaffolding, the mid to lower half of the face, like the cheeks and nose-to-mouth lines are also minimised.
