Temple fillers can be used for a number of reasons. Adding volume to the temple area to create a softer silhouette to the face, and to soften fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, resulting  in an enhanced, lifted, youthful appearance. Another common concern for temple fillers is to fill any hollowing of the temple area.

We spoke with our Aesthetic Doctor and cosmetic surgeon, Dr Paul Effiong and this was his view on temple fillers…

‘Temple fillers can be a great way of softening the overall look of the face. They can add volume to the upper facial area, giving a great youthful look as the appearance of the whole face is lifted. As both women and men age, they lose volume in the face due to a lack of collagen, this can give the face a hollowing appearance which can be aging. By adding a cushion to the temple area, you can bring that volume back and give the face a more contoured and lifted look’.

Temple fillers are considered to be a relatively safe procedure; however, with any medical aesthetic treatment there are risks. It is always recommended to choose a medical aesthetic professional with plenty of experience.

Whilst it may not be one of the most common areas of filler requested, according to the Victorian cosmetics institute, it is the hidden secret to enhancing your face. with the current trends we seem to be seeing in the clinic and most recently in Vogue, could 2021 be the year of the temple filler?

With the added stress and uncertainly that a global pandemic brings and most of us spending more time at home than usual, it comes as no surprise that many of us have put on a few pounds. While we need to show ourselves some compassion during these stressful times, if you find that your weight is still creeping up, here are a few Bold Street Slimming top tips for getting back on track.

Stick to Consistent Meal Times

Have three meals each day; breakfast, lunch and dinner and no snacks. Just because we are closer to our kitchens, doesn’t mean we should pop in there every couple of hours and reach for high calorie food. Make a meal plan, know what you are going to eat and when and stick to it. A bit of normality can really help us feel in control and get back on track with our weight loss goals.

Get Active

A closed gym or local swimming pool is not an excuse to skip the exercise routine. There are many things you can do at and around home to keep active. In fact, during the first few months of lockdown, home fitness equipment sales sky-rocketed, with consumers buying kettlebells, stationary bikes and treadmills. However, you don’t need fancy equipment to get fit. If you have not done any physical activity for a while, start with a 30 minute walk 3 times per week and build up from there. Or if you are already working out and want to up the pace, choose a High Intensity (HIT) workout, which is a great fat burner. You Tube is a good place to find beginner HIT workouts.

What can you add to your diet?

Instead of focusing on removing food items from your diet, consider what you can add to it. Protein is a great choice, it fills you up and reduces the hunger hormone, ghrelin. Good sources of protein include chicken, turkey, eggs, beans, legumes and fish. Aim to eat a protein source with each meal.

Fibre

Ensure you are eating enough fibre, aim for around 25g per day for women and 30g for men. It fills you up and keeps your digestive system healthy. Choose from porridge oats, wholemeal/wholegrain bread, wholewheat pasta, vegetables such as broccoli, sweetcorn and carrots and also fruit, for example, berries, apples, pears and oranges.

And remember, consistency is key!
