Temple Filler: The Underrated Treatment That Restores Facial Balance
When most people think of dermal fillers, they picture plumping lips, smoothing smile lines or contouring the jawline. One area that is often overlooked can have a surprisingly big impact on how youthful and balanced you look. It is the temples.
Why the Temples Matter More Than You Think
Either with age or due to genetics, we naturally lose volume in the temples. This change often goes unnoticed at first, yet it can subtly alter the overall shape and harmony of your face.
When the temples become hollow, the upper face can look narrower. This can make the brows appear lower, deepen shadows around the eyes and disrupt the smooth transition between the eyes, brow and cheeks. Even without other visible signs of ageing, temple hollowing can contribute to a more tired or aged appearance.
What Temple Filler Can Do
Temple filler involves placing a small amount of dermal filler precisely into this area to replace lost volume. At SKNN Clinic, we use high-quality, clinically proven products to achieve natural-looking results.
By restoring volume here, temple filler can:
Support and subtly lift the brow
Reduce shadows in the upper face
Soften the transition between the brow and the cheek
Create a more youthful and harmonious facial shape
Because it is placed with precision, the results are undetectable to others. People simply notice that you look refreshed, well-rested and subtly lifted.
The SKNN Approach: Precision and Balance
Our doctors take a facial balancing approach to all filler treatments, including the temples. We begin with a thorough assessment to understand your facial structure, natural proportions and individual concerns. This ensures that any treatment, whether in the temples, smile lines or other areas, works in harmony with your features.
Temple filler is often combined with other subtle treatments, such as softening prominent smile lines or restoring mid-face volume, for an overall balanced and youthful look.
A Discreet Yet Transformative Treatment
Temple filler is the perfect example of what we call quiet filler. It is a treatment that makes a visible difference without looking obvious. The changes are small but strategic, with an impact that goes beyond the treatment area, enhancing the whole face.
If you have noticed changes in your face shape or shadows forming around your eyes, temple filler may be the discreet solution you are looking for.
Thinking of getting temple filler in Bangkok but still have questions? Here’s our FAQ for everything you need to know before booking a temple filler treatment:
1. What is temple filler?
Temple filler is a non-surgical treatment that uses dermal filler to restore lost volume in the temple area. It helps to rebalance the proportions of the face, lift the brow, and create a smoother transition between the upper and mid-face.
2. Why do the temples lose volume?
Volume loss in the temples can occur naturally as part of the ageing process due to fat and bone resorption. Some people also experience it earlier in life because of genetics, a slim build, or high levels of physical activity.
3. What signs of ageing can temple filler improve?
Temple filler can address a hollow or sunken appearance in the upper face, shadows around the eyes, a lowered brow position, and an overall imbalance in facial shape.
4. Will temple filler lift my face?
Temple filler can create a subtle lifting effect in the upper face by supporting the brow and restoring volume that helps open up the eye area. While it will not replace surgical lifting, it can make the face appear fresher and more youthful.
5. How much temple filler will I need?
The amount varies depending on the degree of volume loss and your facial structure. Many clients see results with 1 to 2ml, although some may benefit from more, especially if volume loss is significant or the temples are naturally more hollow.
6. How long does it take for temple filler to settle?
Initial results are visible immediately, but the filler usually takes 1 to 2 weeks to fully integrate into the tissue and for any minor swelling to subside.
7. How long do temple filler results last?
Results typically last between 9 and 18 months depending on the product used, your metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Many clients choose to have maintenance treatments once a year to keep their results looking fresh.
8. Is temple filler safe?
When performed by an experienced, qualified practitioner, temple filler is considered safe. At SKNN Clinic, treatments are carried out by skilled doctors using premium, clinically proven products in a sterile, medical environment.
9. Does temple filler hurt?
Most clients find the treatment comfortable. We use lidocaine injections to minimise any discomfort and ice packs.
10. Is temple filler obvious?
No. When performed with precision, temple filler is subtle and natural-looking. People will notice that you look fresher and more balanced, but it is unlikely they will be able to identify the treatment you have had.
11. Can temple filler be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Temple filler is often part of a facial balancing approach and can be combined with other treatments such as cheek filler, smile line filler, or skin boosters for optimal results.
