While we often focus on combating wrinkles and fine lines, one area that frequently goes unnoticed is our temples. These subtle indentations, when hollow or sunken, can drastically alter your appearance, contributing to an aged or fatigued look. So how can temple fillers restore overall facial harmony?
The temples, located on the sides of the forehead, play a crucial role in facial symmetry and proportion. When volume loss occurs in this area it can lead to a sunken or hollow appearance. This depletion of volume not only ages the face but also affects its balance and symmetry.
The loss of volume in the temples is a natural part of the ageing process. As we get older, there is a gradual decrease in collagen and fat in the facial region, including the temples. Additionally, factors such as genetics, sun exposure and lifestyle habits can accelerate this, exacerbating the hollowing effect.
However, while ageing is the primary cause of hollow temples, certain individuals may be more predisposed. If you have a thinner facial structure, for example, or those who have experienced significant weight loss may notice hollowing at an earlier age.
How To Treat Hollow Temples With Dermal Filler
Fortunately, hollow temples can be effectively treated with dermal filler injections, although I can't emphasise enough the importance of seeking treatment from a qualified and experienced injector to achieve natural-looking results. During the procedure, hyaluronic acid-based fillers are strategically injected into the area, to help restore lost volume and rejuvenate the overall appearance.
With a meticulous approach to all my treatments, I am able to customise each procedure to suit your unique needs and aesthetic goals. With a background in dental surgery, I can carefully assess your facial anatomy and addressing specific concerns, ensuring optimal outcomes with minimal discomfort and downtime.
How Do I Know If I Need Temple Filler?
Determining whether temple filler is necessary requires the expertise of a skilled injector. I would also advise you consult with a qualified injector who has the knowledge and skill to assess the facial anatomy and provide personalised recommendations based on individual goals.
Following treatment, you can expect to see immediate improvements in the appearance of hollow temples. Some temporary swelling or bruising may occur, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. The longevity of filler varies depending on a number of factors but on average, results can last anywhere from six months to a year or longer. I would recommend periodic touch-ups to maintain optimal volume and contour.
Why You Should Always Go To An Expert Injector
When it comes to cosmetic procedures, including temple filler injections, the expertise of the injector is paramount - remember your safety is literally in their hands. By entrusting your treatment to a skilled professional, you can ensure safe, effective, and natural-looking results that enhance your overall appearance and confidence.
