Temple Filler

In facial aesthetics, balance and symmetry form the cornerstones of the perception of beauty. Although the temple area is often overlooked in achieving this integrity, temporal hollowing that occurs over time can negatively affect the face's overall appearance. Temple filler is an effective and non-surgical aesthetic procedure applied to alleviate the effects of aging and to make the face appear younger, more vibrant, and more proportionate.

Performed with hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, this procedure provides effective results in a short time while naturally supporting the facial oval. So, what exactly is temple filler, how is it applied, and for whom is it suitable? Here are all the details you're wondering about…

What is Temple Filler?

Temple filler is an aesthetic filling procedure applied to add volume to the temple area of the face and to eliminate hollowness. The most commonly used substance in this procedure is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, known for its water-retaining properties. When injected into the skin, it provides volume and gives a younger appearance.

How is Temple Filler Applied?

Before the application, the temple area is cleaned and a local anesthetic cream is applied to numb the area. Then, the filler material is injected under the skin using fine-tipped needles or cannulas. The procedure takes approximately 20-30 minutes, and the patient can return to their daily life after the procedure.
