Temple Filler
Cosmo Clinic Team
Temple Filler is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler treatment that restores lost volume in the temples – one of the first areas to show signs of aging. By filling in this hollow area, the treatment brings balance to the facial structure and improves the overall contour.
At Cosmo Clinic in Lisbon, temple filler requires careful anatomical knowledge due to the proximity of the temporal artery. Our doctors are trained in safe injection protocols for this area. Treatment takes approximately 20–30 minutes with minimal downtime.

FAQ
Why treat the temples?
Volume loss in the temples can cause a hollow, tired appearance and imbalance in the upper face.
How long do results last?
Typically between 12 and 18 months, depending on the product used and individual metabolism.
Is the procedure painful?
A numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimize discomfort. Most patients report only mild pressure.
Can temple filler be combined with other treatments?
Yes – it’s often performed alongside cheek or under-eye filler for total upper-face rejuvenation.
Is temple filler safe given the proximity to blood vessels?
The temporal region contains the superficial temporal artery, which requires careful technique. At Cosmo Clinic, temple filler is administered with anatomical awareness of vascular structures — slow injection, small aliquots, and cannula technique where appropriate. This is not an area for inexperienced injectors.
How much filler is typically needed for the temples?
Most patients require 0.5–1ml per side for visible improvement. The volume depends on the degree of hollowing present. Your doctor will assess the extent of temporal volume loss at consultation.
How soon will I see results from temple filler?
Results are visible immediately after treatment as the volume is placed. Some swelling in the first 24–48 hours may slightly exaggerate the initial result; the final outcome settles at 1–2 weeks.
What does temple filler treatment feel like?
The temples are relatively sensitive. Topical anaesthetic is applied before treatment, and filler products used in this area typically contain lidocaine. Most patients describe a pressure sensation during the injection that passes quickly.
