TREATMENT INFO
If the sides of your forehead have started to look more hollow, temple filler may help restore a softer contour. We’ll plan any treatment around the natural proportions of your face.
Learn more
Temple filler is an injectable treatment for the area between the outer forehead and upper cheek. Some people naturally have hollow temples, while others notice the area becoming less full over time. This can make the outline of the upper face look more angular.
Carefully placed filler can help restore fullness where appropriate. At Skin Techniques, we look at the temples alongside the forehead and cheeks so the change feels in keeping with your features. Temple filler can be considered on its own or as part of our wider dermal filler and facial balancing treatments.
What it helps
Temple filler may help soften a sunken appearance at the sides of the forehead or replace some of the fullness that has reduced with age. This can form part of wider facial volume loss, rather than a change affecting the temples alone.
The aim is to create a smoother transition between the forehead and surrounding contours. Temple filler isn’t a substitute for a brow lift, and any change around the brows will vary. If you’re also noticing less fullness through the mid-face, we can assess whether cheek filler is relevant.

How it works
Filler is placed beneath the skin to add volume where the temples look hollow. We plan the amount and placement around the depth of the hollow, the surrounding anatomy and the change you’d like to see.
Whether your hollow temples are part of your natural facial shape or have become more noticeable over time, the aim is a balanced adjustment. Initial swelling can affect the appearance, so we allow the area to settle before assessing the result.
Our approach
At Skin Techniques, we specialise in a personalised, full-face approach to dermal fillers. You might come to us with a particular treatment in mind, but the area you notice isn’t always the only place we need to consider.
Changes in volume, skin quality and the support around your features can all contribute to the same concern. Sometimes treating one area is appropriate; sometimes a combination of treatments may be more helpful.
We take time to understand what is causing your concern and how your features work together before recommending a treatment plan. You don’t need to know exactly what to book—we’ll explain the options and help you decide on an approach that suits your face and what you’d like to achieve.
Your questions
You may notice a hollow between the outer forehead and cheek, but that doesn’t automatically mean treatment is needed. We’ll assess your temples and overall facial proportions, then explain whether filler could help with what you’re noticing.
Temple filler is mainly used to address hollowness. Any change in brow support or appearance is variable, so it shouldn’t be viewed as a predictable brow lift. If your main concern is the position of your brows, we’ll discuss that separately.
Results may last around 6–18 months, sometimes longer. The filler and your individual response affect this. Before recommending maintenance, we’ll assess how much volume remains rather than automatically repeating treatment after a set interval.
Temple filler starts from £390. The amount required varies with the depth of the hollow and your treatment goals. We’ll explain the recommended plan and confirm the full cost before treatment.
