Temple fillers are a popular aesthetic treatment designed to restore volume and fullness to the temple area, which can naturally become hollow as we age due to bone and fat loss. They’re typically composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that hydrates and adds volume, or other biocompatible fillers designed to enhance structural support.

Benefits: By filling in the temples, this treatment can refresh and lift the entire face, creating a balanced, youthful appearance. Temple fillers help frame the eyes and brows, softening the transition between the forehead and cheeks and improving symmetry.

Duration: A typical session lasts 15–30 minutes, making it a convenient "lunchtime" procedure.

Downtime: Minimal to none. Some mild swelling or bruising may appear but usually fades within a few days. Most people can resume their day right away, though they’re advised to be gentle with the area.

What to Know Before and After:

• Before: Avoid blood thinners (like aspirin), alcohol, and supplements such as fish oil for a few days before your appointment, as these can increase the chance of bruising.

• After: Avoid strenuous activities, saunas, and hot baths for the first 24 hours, and sleep with your head slightly elevated to minimize swelling. Avoid touching or pressing on the area, as the filler takes time to settle.

Results: Temple filler results are immediately visible and typically last 6–18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual metabolic factors. Repeat treatments may be needed to maintain results over time.
