At Laser Cliniqúe in San Diego, our mission has always been to blend advanced science with artistry to help patients look and feel their best. Under the leadership of P. Alexander Ataii, M.D.—a nationally recognized, award-winning cosmetic physician with nearly two decades of experience—we’ve performed over 25,000 dermal filler treatments and achieved the most 5-star reviews of any provider in California. As a Top 250 Allergan provider nationwide, we’re uniquely qualified to share the latest breakthrough in facial rejuvenation: Juvéderm Voluma® XC for temple hollowing.
Why the Temples Matter
While many people focus their anti-aging efforts on the cheeks, jawline, or under eyes, the temples are crucial in maintaining balance and proportion in the upper face.
This area is softly rounded in youth, supporting the brows and creating a smooth, uninterrupted contour from forehead to cheekbone. With age, natural changes occur beneath the skin. For example:
- Bone density decreases
- Fat pads shrink
- Collagen and elastin production slows
Together, these changes cause the temples to hollow, forming indentations that cast shadows along the sides of the face. And this shift doesn’t happen in isolation. Temple hollowing can also:
- Exaggerate fine lines around the eyes
- Intensify crow’s feet
- Make the brows appear heavier or droopier
- Disrupt the harmony between the upper and midface
By restoring volume to the temples, patients often notice a ripple effect of rejuvenation—brighter eyes, a subtly lifted brow, and smoother, more balanced contours overall.
How Voluma® is Revolutionizing Temple Rejuvenation
Juvéderm Voluma XC has made history as the only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler designed to correct moderate to severe temple hollowing in adults over 21. This marks a major aesthetic milestone, offering patients a safe, effective solution in a previously treated off-label region.
Clinical trials showed:
- 80% of patients saw a significant improvement in temple fullness three months after treatment, and 73% maintained results at one year
- Over 85% of patients reported a more balanced, youthful, and harmonious facial appearance
Our most discerning patients love Voluma® because it offers:
- Instant lift and fullness: Adds volume to hollowed temples for smoother, more youthful contours.
- Balanced proportions: Enhances the natural transition from forehead to cheekbones.
- Long-term improvement: Results can last for up to 13 months with optimal treatment.
- Quick sessions: Typically completed in just 15–30 minutes.
- Comfort-focused: Formulated with lidocaine for a smoother experience.
- Minimal downtime: Patients may experience temporary redness, tenderness, or bruising, which usually resolves within days.
What Voluma® Can Be Paired With
Voluma delivers transformative results on its own, but when paired with other treatments, it can create even more balanced, comprehensive rejuvenation. At Laser Cliniqúe, we often recommend complementing temple volumization with additional therapies to refresh and harmonize the entire face.
Popular pairings include:
- Other Dermal Fillers to smooth fine lines, enhance the lips, or refine nasolabial folds, ensuring every feature looks youthful and proportionate
- Neuromodulators (BOTOX® / Dysport®) to relax dynamic wrinkles around the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines to enhance the lifting effect of temple and cheek volumization
- Advanced laser treatments can improve skin tone, texture, and pigmentation, giving the newly contoured face a glowing, even canvas
- Microneedling with PRP to stimulate collagen production, complementing filler by improving skin quality, elasticity, and overall vibrancy
- Ultherapy®, Tempsure® Envi or Morpheus8 to lift and firm the face and jawline, balancing the volumizing effects of Voluma in the upper face
