The Secret to Looking Awake & Refreshed: Under-Eye & Temple Filler

Aging is a natural process, but some signs can make us look more tired and aged than we feel. The under-eye and temple areas are often the first to show these signs, leading to a hollow, sunken appearance that affects overall facial harmony. Fortunately, non-surgical treatments like under-eye filler and temple filler offer a solution to restore volume, smooth out hollows, and give you a refreshed, youthful look.


Let’s explore why these areas age, how fillers help, and what to expect from the procedure.

The Science Behind Orbital Aging

As we age, the face loses volume due to fat pad depletion, bone resorption, and collagen breakdown. The orbital area (around the eyes) is particularly vulnerable to these changes. Here’s how aging affects these regions:


Under-Eyes:

- Fat Loss & Thinning Skin – The fat pads under the eyes shrink and shift, leading to a sunken, hollow look.

- Tear Trough Formation – The groove between the lower eyelid and cheek (tear trough) becomes more pronounced, creating dark circles and a tired appearance.

- Loss of Elasticity – Decreased collagen and elastin make the skin thinner, enhancing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.


Temples:

- Fat Atrophy & Bone Loss – The temples lose fat and the surrounding bone structure recedes, creating a concave, hollowed-out effect.

- Loss of Structural Support – As temple volume depletes, the brow can droop, leading to a heavy, tired-looking upper face.


By addressing volume loss in these areas with fillers, we can achieve a rejuvenated and harmonious facial contour.

How Under-Eye & Temple Fillers Work

Dermal fillers, typically made of hyaluronic acid (HA), restore lost volume by filling in hollows and lifting the surrounding skin. HA is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts moisture, making it ideal for delicate areas like the under-eyes and temples.


Under-Eye Fillers:

- Used to smooth out the tear troughs and reduce the appearance of sunken eyes and dark circles.

- Helps blend the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek for a seamless, natural look.

- At California Cosmetics, we use JUVÉDERM® — the world's #1 dermal filler collection featuring 5 diverse products tailored for your unique needs.


Temple Fillers:

- Restores volume to hollowed temples, enhancing facial balance.

- Supports the brow, reducing sagging and a tired appearance.

- For temple filler, we also use JUVÉDERM® dermal fillers.

Ideal Candidates for Under-Eye & Temple Fillers

These treatments are best suited for individuals experiencing:


- Hollow or dark circles under the eyes despite good sleep and hydration.

- A sunken appearance in the temples that contributes to facial aging.

- Mild to moderate volume loss without severe skin laxity (for which surgical options may be more effective).

- Good overall skin quality, with realistic expectations about subtle, natural-looking enhancements.

The Procedure: What to Expect

Consultation & Custom Treatment Plan

Your journey begins with a consultation with an expert injector at California Cosmetics. They assess your facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to create a personalized treatment plan.


The Treatment Process

Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing agent may be applied to enhance comfort.

Precise Injections: The filler is strategically placed using a fine needle or a blunt-tipped cannula to minimize bruising and swelling.

Massage & Assessment: The injector gently massages the area to ensure smooth distribution and evaluates the results.


The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes, with little to no discomfort thanks to numbing agents and advanced injection techniques.


Recovery & Downtime

One of the biggest advantages of under-eye and temple fillers is minimal downtime. Here’s what to expect:

Immediate Post-Treatment Effects:

- Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites (resolves within a few days).

- A slightly uneven look initially due to swelling (subsides within a week).


Recovery Timeline:

24-48 Hours: Swelling and bruising peak, then begin to subside.

1 Week: Most swelling resolves, and the results appear more refined.

2 Weeks: Filler settles completely, revealing the final outcome.


To minimize side effects, avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, and blood-thinning medications for at least 24-48 hours after treatment.

Results: When to Expect & How Long They Last

When to See Results:

- Immediate improvement is noticeable, but final results take 1-2 weeks as the filler settles.


How Long Results Last:

- Under-Eye Fillers: 9-18 months

- Temple Fillers: 12-24 months


How long your results will last varies based on metabolism, lifestyle, and filler choice.
