Treatment Area: Temples
The temples—located just to the side of the eyes and above the cheekbones—tend to lose volume with age due to fat pad depletion, collagen loss, and bone remodeling. This creates a hollow, sunken appearance that can make the face look tired, aged, or even gaunt.
Temple hollowing also disrupts the natural curvature and contour of the upper face, contributing to a less balanced facial profile.
Why It Matters
While often overlooked, temple volume plays a critical role in overall facial harmony. Hollow temples can cast shadows that draw attention away from the eyes and create an angular, skeletal appearance. Restoring volume here subtly lifts and balances the face, supporting surrounding structures like the brows and cheeks and creating a smoother, more youthful contour.
The Importance of Preventative and Ongoing Care
Addressing temple hollowing early helps maintain the youthful framework of the face. Because the temples are a high-movement and structurally complex area, careful and strategic treatment is key. Regular maintenance with bio-stimulating or volumizing fillers can prevent deep hollows from forming and slow the progression of age-related volume loss.
How Injector 5280 Can Help
We offer advanced dermal fillers and collagen-stimulating injectables that restore volume and improve facial balance in the temples. Each treatment is tailored to your facial anatomy, degree of hollowing, and desired outcome—always with the goal of subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation.
Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers such as Juvederm® Voluma and Restylane® Contour are excellent options for restoring soft, flexible volume in the temples. These fillers are ideal for patients who want immediate correction with minimal downtime, and results can last up to 12–18 months depending on the product used.

Sculptra®
Sculptra® is a biostimulatory injectable that works gradually by stimulating your body’s own collagen production. It’s particularly effective for temple hollowing, where volume loss tends to be more diffuse. Most patients require a series of treatments spaced over several months, with results that can last two years or more.
