Temple filler restores lost volume in the hollow areas beside the eyes, softening the upper face and creating a lifted, refreshed look. As we age, fat and bone loss in this area can make the face appear tired or hollow.
At Pure Medspa, expert injectors use advanced filler techniques to replenish volume, improve facial harmony, and rejuvenate your appearance with natural-looking results. This blog post answers some of the most common questions about temple filler treatments.
What Causes Hollow Temples?
Hollow temples are a common part of the aging process and can also result from genetics or significant weight loss. The temples sit between the forehead, eyes, and cheeks, so when this area loses volume, it can create shadows that make the face appear gaunt or fatigued.
Common causes of hollowing include:
• Loss of facial fat and collagen with age
• Bone resorption near the area
• Skin thinning and elasticity loss
• Rapid weight loss or naturally lean features
By restoring volume in this area, filler helps smooth transitions between the forehead, temples, and cheeks for a refreshed, harmonious appearance.
What’s the Best Filler for the Temples?
At Pure Medspa, injectors often use hyaluronic acid-based fillers such as JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC or Restylane® Lyft for temple rejuvenation. These fillers provide immediate results, can be adjusted as needed, and are safely reversible. Sculptra® Aesthetic can be another excellent option; it works by stimulating collagen production for gradual, long-lasting improvement.
The best filler for you depends on your anatomy, goals, and how long you’d like your results to last. Your injector will recommend the ideal dermal filler during your consultation to ensure natural-looking, balanced results.
How Much Filler Is Needed in the Temples?
In most cases, 0.5 to 2 syringes per side provide the desired result. However, the actual amount of filler you’ll need will vary with factors such as your age, facial structure, and degree of volume loss.
At Pure Medspa, injectors use a conservative, layered approach to achieve subtle, refined improvements. They select precise injection points to evenly distribute the product and enhance symmetry across both sides of the face.
Is Temple Filler Safe?
The filler treatment is safe and effective when performed by an experienced injector. The temple area does contain blood vessels, so it’s essential that injections are done by professionals who understand facial anatomy. Be sure to follow all pre- and post-treatment care instructions. Treatments at Pure Medspa deliver enhancement with minimal risk.
What To Expect During and After Treatment
Your filler appointment at Pure Medspa begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and determine the best approach for your features. We’ll cleanse your skin and may apply a topical numbing cream for comfort. Most treatments take less than 30 minutes.
After treatment, you may notice mild swelling, redness, or tenderness that typically resolves within a few days. To support optimal healing and results, you should:
• Avoid alcohol, heat exposure, and strenuous activity for 24 to 48 hours
• Sleep on your back and avoid pressing on treated areas
• Use gentle skincare products and follow your injector’s post-treatment advice
Most people resume their regular activities immediately after treatment, enjoying noticeable improvements right away.
How Long Do Temple Filler Results Last?
Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last in the temples for 12 to 18 months, while Sculptra can provide results for up to 2 years or longer as collagen gradually rebuilds. However, results vary based on the type of product used and your body’s metabolism. Maintenance appointments help extend your results and keep your features looking refreshed.
