What is Temple Filler?
Temple filler is a cosmetic procedure that involves the injection of dermal fillers, often containing hyaluronic acid, into the temples to address volume loss and hollowness in this area. As individuals age, there is a natural loss of fat and collagen, which can result in a hollow or sunken appearance in the temples. Temple filler treatments work to restore volume and rejuvenate the contours of the face. The hyaluronic acid in the filler attracts and retains moisture, adding volume and structure to the temples, which can enhance overall facial harmony and contribute to a more youthful appearance.
Individuals who may benefit from temple filler include those experiencing age-related volume loss in the temples, individuals with a genetically predisposed hollow temple area, or those seeking facial symmetry and balance. Additionally, people who have undergone weight loss that resulted in temple hollowing may find temple filler beneficial. The treatment is suitable for both men and women looking to address these concerns without the need for surgery.
Temple filler injections are typically administered by a qualified practitioner using a fine needle or a cannula, with results that are noticeable immediately.
How does Temple Filler work?
Temple filler works by injecting a dermal filler, often containing hyaluronic acid, into the temples to restore lost volume and address hollowness. During the procedure, a qualified practitioner strategically injects the filler into the temple area, replenishing the lost volume and enhancing the contours of the face. The hyaluronic acid attracts water molecules, providing an immediate plumping effect and restoring a more youthful appearance to the temples.
By adding volume to the temples, the filler creates a smoother and more rounded contour, reducing the appearance of sunken or hollow areas. This enhancement not only addresses the signs of aging but can also contribute to improved facial symmetry and balance. The results are typically immediate, and while they are not permanent, they can last several months, providing individuals with a non-surgical option to rejuvenate and harmonize their facial features.
How is the treatment administered?
The administration of temple filler involves the use of either a needle, a cannula, or a combination of both, depending on the patient’s specific needs and the desired results. A needle, being a fine and precise instrument, can be used for detailed and accurate injections into specific areas of the temples. On the other hand, a cannula is a thin, flexible tube with a blunt tip, which may be preferred for its ability to navigate through tissues with fewer entry points, potentially reducing the risk of bruising and providing a more comfortable experience for the patient.
The choice between a needle and a cannula, or a combination of both, is often determined by the practitioner’s expertise and the individual characteristics of the patient’s anatomy.
The goal is to achieve natural-looking results while minimizing the risk of complications.
Side effects
The use of temple filler is generally safe, but like any cosmetic procedure, it can be associated with potential side effects. Common and temporary side effects include redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites. These effects typically subside within a few days to a week. Some individuals may experience slight lumps or irregularities in the treated area, which can often be massaged or may dissipate over time.
