What is temple filler and am I a suitable candidate?
Temple filler can be used to add volume to the temple which aids in overall facial balancing. This often gives a lifting affect as is very popular amongst women, with the likes of Kendell Jenner at the forefront of this trend. This lifting of the eyebrow is often referred to as the fox eye as is easily achievable with this method. The procedure is quick, easy and is much safer than other methods used to lift the eyebrow such as threads.
You are likely to be a good candidate for temple filler if you have sunken or hollow temples. However people often get temple filler for beautifying effects rather than symmetry/correction.
What happens on the day of treatment?
- Following your consultation, a medical questionnaire will be filled out which will deem whether you are suitable for treatment.
- A series of before and after pictures will also be taken at various angles and expressions. This will therefore allow us to compare the outcome of your treatments to ensure we reach your desired result.
- Your skin will then be cleansed and a numbing cream is applied to the area. Numbing cream is proven to reduce pain from filler by 60% when a needle is used. However the same can not be said for the cannula method.Whether a needle or cannula is used will depend on what treatment you are having and also your own facial structure. Generally, for this treatment a needle will be used where by a few injection points will be introduced. The needle is placed to bone as this is the safest method to avoid any important veins. If the needle was to come into contact with a vessel a small bruise may form however pressure to the area immediately will reduce this formation.
- Following the procedure you may feel tender to touch and may possibly experience swelling and redness. This will subside over the following days however over the counter pain relief and arnica cream may be applied.
- We also ask that you refrain from any physical activity for 24 hours and avoid extreme heat, including hot tubs and saunas. It is also advised to avoid make up on the area for 24 hours as this could lead to an infection.
- You will then receive a follow up phone call 2 weeksprior to treatment to ensure you are happy with the treatment
