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?

Non reversible fillers are slightly different from Hyaluronic acid fillers. They are not immediately dissolvable with Hyaluronidase and typically last longer, around 12 – 18 months. Sometimes up to 2 years depending on individual.

According to global news wire, *Hyaluronic acid fillers claimed 77% of the filler market in 2019. This data shows us that in general, these fillers are a more popular choice for clients. This may be due to the fact they are dissolvable, in such cases that the client doesn’t like the results or the rare instance they need to be removed for health reasons.

What are non-reversible fillers?

Non reversible fillers such as Sculptra are a slightly harder compound of filler, still performed in the same manner as Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane. Sculptra is made up of a compound called poly-L-lactic acid, this substance has also been successfully used in the medical industry for dissolvable stitches.

Another non reversible filler is Radiesse, this consists of a compound called calcium hydroxyapatite gel. This substance can give a instants results unlike Sculptra which results are gained over time, generally up to 6 weeks. We asked our very own aesthetic doctor, Dr Paul, what his opinion was on both non dissolvable fillers Radiesse and Sculptra and out of all fillers what type he prefers to use…

“There is no one filler fits all, generally, I would use Sculptra for longer lasting results on the face. Areas such as the jawline and cheekbones as it restores structure but also helps the body to produce more collagen in those areas. Radiesse can be used in larger areas, much like an implant say. Overall, I believe hyaluronic acid fillers are a great first option to add subtle enhancements in softer areas such as lips and tear trough where the skin is slightly thinner and more delicate”.
