The temples are located on either side of the forehead. Anatomically, they are made up of the skin, superficial and deep temporal fat, the temporal muscle and the temporal bone. This area becomes deeper with age. The face becomes aged and tired. Filler injections performed in aesthetic medicine can correct this unsightly appearance.
The temples are part of the upper third of the face, and their fullness plays an important role in balancing the face and enhancing the liveliness of the eyes.
The ageing of this area is characterised by the melting of fat and the appearance of a hollow that gives a looking sad and tired.
Le filling of the temples by injection of hyaluronic acid restores a youthful appearance to the face.
Why inject the temples?
Quite simply to combat the image of ageing that the hollow temples cause and to treat what is known as the skeletonisation of the face fat melting to reveal bone contours.
As the years go by, three changes affect the temporal area, causing the temples to hollow out:
These changes are responsible for four unsightly effects:
The hollowing of the temples can be accentuated by :
Filling the temples is an increasingly common practice, aimed at correcting the signs of ageing and restoring youthfulness and harmony to the face.
Hyaluronic acid injections are an effective treatment for increasing the volume of the temples and redefining their contour.
Injections into the temples, like all medical procedures, must be carried out by an experienced practitioner. In fact, knowledge of the anatomy and technical mastery are essential to avoid the noble elements of this area: the superficial and deep temporal arteries, the veins and the temporal nerve.
It is essential to consult a qualified professional experienced in aesthetic medicine to discuss the options best suited to your needs and expectations.
Filling the temples with hyaluronic acid is intended for patients who want to restore the liveliness of their eyes and facial harmony.
The main benefits of the treatment are
This treatment is particularly indicated for patients who have undergone significant weight loss, which has caused fatty tissue to melt away from the face.
L’injection d’hyaluronic acid peut se faire en surface ou en profondeur. Les deux techniques peuvent être combinées.
In depth
This injection is only possible in the lower part of the temple and along the temporal ridge.
I inject using a needle and a fairly firm hyaluronic acid. Perfect knowledge of the area's anatomy is essential.
On the surface
The injection is performed with a cannula in the outer part of the temple. I choose a highly volumising or moderately volumising product depending on the quality of the skin, any history of temporal or face lifts, and the amount of volume to be restored.
Once again, technical mastery is essential, especially if you have had a facelift before.
An unsuccessful injection causes visible surface bumps or an excess of product that creates bumps that become more pronounced when you smile.
L’ acide hyaluronique utilisé a une densité élevée, ce qui permet de combler la perte de volume et donne des résultats durables.
Injecting Sculptra into the temples is an increasingly popular technique, very much in vogue in the USA and Brazil.
Used to restore volume to the face, Sculptra, or poly-lactic acid, is a non-permanent, biocompatible and biodegradable injectable that stimulates collagen synthesis.

A bottle of product is used on the day of the injection, and a second session is sometimes necessary three months later.
After the injections, it is normal to experience slight swelling and redness around the treated areas. These side effects are generally temporary and disappear within a few days.
The result is visible three months after the session, as the product gradually stimulates collagen production, and lasts for two years, which is interesting for those looking for a long-term solution.
Filling very hollow temples is not a good indication, in fact too much product would be needed.
That's why I recommend starting Sculptra injections around the age of thirty, when the first signs of facial ageing appear.
It is important to choose an experienced practitioner for this type of injection.
Injections of hyaluronic acid produce immediate results that last for around a year.
Filling the hollow eliminates the shadow around the temple and the bone is no longer visible, so the skeletonisation of the face is treated.
The face is rejuvenated and its curves restored, giving it a softer appearance.
The eyes look less tired and the tail of the eyebrow is lifted.
The after-effects are slight, and the possible side-effects are a small transient haematoma and minimal swelling.
If a deep injection is given, the patient may feel a sensation of pressure in the temple and pain when chewing for two or three days.
If a superficial injection is carried out, barely visible surface irregularities persist for a few days.

La fréquence de renouvellement dépend du type de produit utilisé et du métabolisme du patient. En général, une séances par an ou tous les deux ans est suffisante pour conserver les résultats.
La perte de volume des tempes est une modification liée à l'âge, où la région des tempes devient creuse ce qui donne un aspect fatigué et vieilli au visage.
Treatments are painless. Patients generally experience slight discomfort rather than real pain.
Results from hyaluronic acid injections generally last between nine and twelve months, while those from Sculptra injections last around two years. The exact duration depends on a number of factors, including individual metabolism and the product used.
Oui, lorsque les traitements sont réalisés par un médecin qualifié et expérimenté, ils sont sûrs. Il est important de choisir un professionnel de santé compétent pour éviter les complications.
Le traitement des tempes creuses restaure le volume perdu, harmonise les contours du visage et donne un aspect plus jeune et reposé.
Treatments can be medical: injections of hyaluronic acid, Sculptra or Radiesse, or surgical: injections of autologous fat (lipofilling).
Les effets secondaires sont : rougeurs, ecchymoses, un léger gonflement. Ces effets sont temporaires et disparaissent en quelques jours.
Les contre-indications sont la grossesse, l'allaitement, certaines maladies auto-immunes et les allergies aux composants des produits injectables. Une consultation préalable est nécessaire pour évaluer l'éligibilité de chaque patient.
After treatment, it is advisable to avoid strenuous physical activity, saunas and steam baths for a few days. It is also advisable to avoid touching or massaging the treated area to prevent any displacement of the product.
Le choix du traitement dépend de plusieurs facteurs : l'étendue de la perte de volume, les attentes du patient, la qualité de la peau et la morphologie du visage. Une consultation avec un médecin permettra de déterminer le traitement le plus adapté.
Les injections d'acide hyaluronique dans les tempes offrent de nombreux avantages esthétiques. Elles permettent de restaurer les courbes du visage, d'ouvrir le regard et de rajeunir le visage.
Pour les traitements non chirurgicaux comme les fillers, les effets sont réversibles. L’acide hyaluronique peut être dissous avec un enzyme spécifique si nécessaire. Après une chirurgie comme le lifting temporal, les résultats sont permanents, bien que le vieillissement naturel continuera.
Oui, le traitement des tempes peut être combiné avec d'autres procédures esthétiques, telles que les injections de comblement pour les joues ou les lèvres, les injections de Botox et d'autres techniques de rajeunissement facial. Cela donne un résultat global harmonieux.
