Forehead and Temple Enhancement
Every facial expression involves muscle contractions. Over time, these movements lead to a build-up of fine lines and wrinkles. As we age, it gets harder for our skin to repair itself because collagen production slows down and our skin begins to lose its elasticity. When this occurs, the creases brought on by our facial movements become permanent. This is where forehead and temple enhancement come in.
What is forehead and temple enhancement?
Forehead and temple enhancement is achieved through the use of dermal fillers. This treatment helps replenish volume and reduce forehead creases, giving the upper part of your face a natural lift and softening the prominence of deep lines. By plumping up hollow areas—especially the temples—it delivers a fresh, youthful appearance. Dermal fillers for your forehead and temple are non-surgical and non-invasive, yet they can rejuvenate your face much like a mini facelift.
How does forehead and temple enhancement work?
Forehead and temple enhancement works by plumping up hollow or sunken areas of the skin with dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid. Along with restoring lost volume, this treatment also contributes to forehead crease reduction, as fine lines and wrinkles become smoother and less visible. Once these areas have been treated, your skin appears plump, smooth, and refreshed. This also provides for a slight browlift for people with droopy eye brows.
Forehead and temple enhancement at Zest Clinic involves the following steps:
- Initial consultation: A detailed facial assessment to pinpoint precise areas that require fillers.
- Numbing: Application of numbing cream to the treatment area.
- Precise injection: Fillers are injected using a sterile syringe in a downward direction while carefully avoiding veins, ensuring smooth distribution and minimising bruising.
- Finishing touches: After the target areas have been treated, your face will be gently cleaned and massaged to encourage evenness and natural-looking results.

Risks

- Rare risk of infection if aftercare is not followed properly
- Uneven filler distribution or small lumps, which can usually be corrected
- Very rare but serious complications such as vascular occlusion (blocked blood vessels)
By understanding both the benefits and potential risks, you can make an informed decision and work closely with a qualified practitioner to achieve safe, natural-looking results.
Suitable candidates for forehead and temple enhancement
Individuals with the following issues are suitable candidates for forehead and temple enhancement:
- Hollow or depleted looking temple area
- Wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead
- Look older than you feel
- Droopy brow area
- Saggy eyelids
To get the best results of your procedure you must:
- Stop smoking: smoking has been known to reduce blood flow to the skin, increasing your chances of tissue damage, and hindering healing and recovery.
- Stop some medications: certain medications such as aspirins and anti-inflammatory drugs thin your blood making you more susceptible to bleeding during and after the procedure.
What results can I expect?
You should expect to see smoother and plumper skin immediately after the procedure. Swelling should resolve itself within a few days, leaving you with a natural-looking, rejuvenated face.
You must avoid the following after your treatment:
- Sleeping face down: do not put any pressure on your face and temple for a few days. Sleep lying flat on your back.
- Intense exercise: do not participate in any intense exercise for two days after your treatment.
- Touching your face: try not to touch your face as it might still be tender after treatment. You may gently clean your face to avoid any infections.
- Sun exposure: sun exposure is one of the main causes of aging skin. Always wear good quality sunscreen before you leave the house.
How many treatment sessions are required?
The amount of treatment sessions depends on the size of your treatment area, the extent of your wrinkles, fine lines, and hollowness, and your desired results. On average, three to six sessions are required, and results can last anywhere from six months to a year.
There are several factors that determine the longevity of your forehead and temple enhancement treatment, these are:
- Age
- Amount and placement of dermal fillers
- Type of dermal filler used
