Temple Filler is a 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.

What is temple filler

Temple filler is an aesthetic medicine treatment that restores lost volume to the lateral forehead region using hyaluronic acid. The temple area is among the first zones of the face to age, bone and fat atrophy create a hollowed, gaunt appearance that can make the face look tired or older than it truly is. Addressing this volume loss is integral to global facial rejuvenation in Lisbon.

Who is it for

Adults from around 35 onwards with visible temporal hollowing, those who notice volume loss in the upper third of the face, or anyone whose eyes appear heavy or tired despite adequate sleep. Also indicated for patients with naturally lean faces or those who have lost significant weight and find the temporal concavity has become more pronounced.

What to expect from the session

Sessions run 30 to 45 minutes. After topical anaesthesia, hyaluronic acid is injected in a deep plane over the temporal bone using an atraumatic cannula to minimise vascular risk. The approach is always bilateral for symmetry, using small but high-density volumes, typically 0.5 ml to 1 ml per side.

Results timeline

Results are immediate, with visible softening of the temporal hollow and a subtle lifting effect on the tail of the brow. Final results settle after 14 days. Average duration is 12 to 18 months, with annual maintenance recommended to preserve the framing of the face.

Aftercare

Avoid intense physical exercise, saunas, alcohol, and direct sun exposure for 48 hours. Refrain from massaging or pressing the area for one week. Avoid make-up on the zone for 12 hours and use SPF 50 for two weeks. Small bruises are uncommon with cannula technique and typically resolve in 5 to 7 days.
