The temples are located on either side of the forehead. Anatomically, they are made up of skin, superficial and deep temporal fat, the temporal muscle, and the temporal bone.
This area becomes hollow over time, giving the face a tired and aged appearance.
Hyaluronic acid filler injections can correct this aesthetic concern.
The temples are a component of the upper third of the face. Their fullness plays an important role in facial balance and the vibrancy of the gaze.
Aging in this area is characterized by fat loss and the appearance of a hollow that gives a sad and tired look.
Filling the temples with hyaluronic acid injections restores a youthful appearance to the face. Why get injections in the temples? Simply to combat the aged appearance caused by hollow temples and to treat what is known as facial skeletonization: fat loss that reveals the underlying bone structure.
Over the years, three changes affect the temporal area, causing the temples to hollow;
These changes are responsible for four aesthetic concerns :
Hollow temples can be accentuated by :
Temple augmentation is an increasingly common practice aimed at correcting signs of aging and restoring facial youth and harmony.
Hyaluronic acid injections are an effective treatment to increase temple volume and reshape their contour.
Temple injections, like any medical procedure, must be performed by an experienced doctor. In fact, anatomical knowledge and technical expertise are essential to avoid the noble elements of this area: the superficial and deep temporal artery, veins, and the temporal nerve.
It is essential to consult a qualified and experienced doctor to discuss the most suitable options for your needs and expectations.
Le comblement des tempes par acide hyaluronique est destiné aux patient qui souhaitent redonner de la vivacité au regard et restaurer l’harmonie du visage.
The main benefits of the treatment are :
This treatment is particularly indicated for patients who have experienced significant weight loss that has led to fat tissue loss in the face.
Hyaluronic acid injections can be performed either superficially or deeply. Both techniques can be combined
Deep Injections
This injection is only possible in the lower part of the temple and along the temporal crest.
Doctor Romano performs the injection with a needle and uses a relatively firm hyaluronic acid. A perfect knowledge of the anatomy of the area is essential.
Superficial Injections
The injection is performed using a cannula and is done in the outer part of the temple. Doctor Romano selects a highly volumizing or moderately volumizing product depending on the quality of the skin, any history of temporal or facial lift, and the volume that needs to be restored.
Once again, technical mastery is essential, especially in patients with a history of facelift procedures.
A poorly performed injection can result in visible lumps on the surface or an excess of product that creates bulges, which become more pronounced when smiling.
L’ acide hyaluronique utilisé a une densité élevée, ce qui permet de combler la perte de volume sans risque de déplacement et donne des résultats durables.
Sculptra injections in the temples are an increasingly popular technique, particularly in the USA and Brazil.
Used to restore facial volume, Sculptra – or poly-L-lactic acid – is a non-permanent, biocompatible, and biodegradable injectable that stimulates collagen synthesis.
One vial of product is used on the day of the injection; a second session is sometimes necessary three months later.
After the injections, it is normal to observe mild swelling and redness around the treated areas. These side effects are temporary and disappear within a few days.
The result lasts two years and becomes visible three months after the session, as the product gradually stimulates collagen production – which makes it an appealing option for those seeking a long-term solution.
Very hollow temples are not an ideal indication for this treatment, as too much product would be required.
This is why Doctor Romano recommends starting Sculptra injections around the age of thirty, when the first signs of facial aging begin to appear.
It is important to choose an experienced doctor for this type of injection.
Hyaluronic acid injections deliver immediate results that last approximately one year.
Filling the hollow eliminates the shadow in the temple area and the bone is no longer visible, thus addressing facial skeletonization.
The face looks rejuvenated, its curves are restored, creating a softer appearance.
The gaze is refreshed and the tail of the eyebrow is subtly lifted.
After-effects are mild. Possible side effects include : a small, temporary bruise, minimal swelling.
If a deep injection is performed, the patient may feel a sensation of pressure in the temple and discomfort when chewing for two or three days.
If a superficial injection is performed, barely visible surface irregularities may persist for a few days.
Temple filling corrects hollowing often associated with aging or fat loss in this area. This subtle procedure improves facial balance and restores structure to the temporal contour. Two products are commonly used for this indication : hyaluronic acid and Sculptra.
The price of a hyaluronic acid injection for the temples is 600 CHF per syringe. This treatment provides immediate results. The number of syringes required may range from 1 to 5.
Sculptra, injected more deeply, stimulates collagen production and induces a gradual effect. The price of one vial of Sculptra for the temples is 900 CHF. One vial is usually sufficient for both temples, with the possibility of a second session two months later.
The total cost of temple treatment depends on the product selected and the required volume, which is assessed during the initial consultation.
The frequency of renewal depends on the type of product used and the patient's metabolism. In general, one session per year or every two years is sufficient to maintain results.
La perte de volume des tempes est une modification liée à l’âge caractérisée par un creusement de la région des tempes ce qui donne un aspect fatigué et vieilli au visage.
Treatments are painless. Patients generally experience slight discomfort rather than real pain.
Les résultats des injections d’acide hyaluronique durent généralement entre neuf et douze mois, ceux des injections de Sculptra durent environ deux ans. La durée exacte dépend de plusieurs facteurs, notamment le métabolisme du patient et le produit utilisé.
Yes, when treatments are carried out by a qualified and experienced doctor, they are safe. It is important to choose an experienced doctor to avoid complications.
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.
For non-surgical treatments such as fillers, the effects are reversible. Hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with a specific enzyme if necessary. After surgery such as a temporal lift, the results are permanent, although the natural ageing process continues.
The treatment of hollow temples restores lost volume, harmonises facial contours and gives a more youthful, rested appearance.
