What it involves
The temples are the areas on either side of the forehead, next to the brows. Over time, or due to a finer build, they can become hollow and give the face a tired, angular or more aged look. Dr. Clara Navarro addresses them by restoring volume with hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite, in a measured way, to soften the upper contour of the face and bring back a more rested expression.
Benefits
- A more rested expression
- A more harmonious facial contour
- Natural, gradual results
Who is it for?
This option is for you if you notice hollow temples or a dip next to your brows that makes your gaze look more tired. It may also suit you if you feel the upper part of your face has lost smoothness over the years or after weight loss. At your first visit, the doctor assesses your anatomy and tells you honestly whether this is the right approach for you.
What the session is like
The session begins with a facial assessment and marking of the injection points. The doctor restores volume in the temples precisely, usually with a cannula technique for greater safety and comfort in this area. It typically takes 20 to 30 minutes and is done in the clinic, with no need for a hospital stay.
Results and how long they last
The effect is visible from the very first moment and settles fully over the following days, once any initial swelling subsides. Results usually last between 12 and 18 months, depending on the product used and each person's characteristics. It is a gradual result and, in the case of hyaluronic acid, reversible, which can be adjusted at later check-ups.
Aftercare
After the session you may notice slight swelling or a small bruise, which fade within a few days. It is best to avoid intense heat, demanding exercise and pressure on the area during the first 24-48 hours. The doctor will give you personalised instructions and schedule a check-up to assess the result.
