Temple Filler

Dermal fillers are administered with a needle; therefore, this involves a degree of discomfort. However, we ensure this procedure is as pain-free as possible with topical anaesthetic, effective products with lidocaine and advanced injection techniques.

Some areas may be more sensitive than others, such as lips, however well-tolerated. We recommend the use of a topical anaesthetic to soothe the area and remove any discomfort. Our clinically trained practitioners are trained regularly on the latest techniques to ensure that treatments are performed with your comfort and safety as a priority.

Due to the nature of injectable treatments, there is a possibility of some minor side effects, most of which subside up two-four weeks after treatment. Common side effects include:

Mild swelling and bumps.
Localised tenderness.
Skin blemish or bruising.
General sensitivity and redness.

Any potential side effects will be discussed further at the pre-treatment consultation with a member of the VIVA team. Your practitioner will discuss relevant medical history to provide an informed recommendation for your course of treatment.

Our medical team is led by Dr Rupert, who is considered one of the most experienced injectors in the UK. Having treated hundreds of thousands of patients in over ten years since opening our doors at VIVA, you can have peace of mind that your safety is our priority.

Initial results will be visible as soon as you leave the clinic, however, it will take two-four weeks for the filler to soften and settle under the skin for final results. The secondary effect of glowing skin will be apparent at this point as well. You may notice your brow lifted, less tired eyes and a more youthful refreshed appearance.

Most hyaluronic acid dermal fillers tend to fall within the 6 to 18-month range, however, the expected longevity of your fillers will also vary from person to person. The general ‘rule of thumb’ when it comes to temple filler longevity is 6-12 months. For best results we recommend 6-month maintenance appointments.

The exact longevity might change based on the volume of filler used, the precise areas being treated as well as the patient’s metabolism and lifestyle. However, our injectors will be happy to discuss specifics at your consultation.

Maintaining your temple fillers and increasing the longevity of your results can be achieved in a few ways. To ensure that you get the most from your temple filler treatment we recommend a combination of the following:

Maintaining a healthy skincare routine, minimising exposure to UV radiation.
Eating a balanced diet and staying hydrated.
Avoiding stress, as this will accelerate the signs of ageing.
Follow the recommended aftercare provided by our practitioners.
Using medical grade skincare.
Attending recommended maintenance appointments.

Our aesthetic practitioners are medically trained and supervised by our medical director, Dr. Rupert, who has over 12 years of experience. Our clinically trained practitioners are trained regularly on the latest techniques to ensure that treatments are performed with your comfort and safety as a priority.

Before any treatment we require a full medical consultation to understand your suitability. We would never recommend a treatment for you if we deemed it to be unsafe or dangerous, so we always keep your best interests in mind.

This highly popular treatment is perfect for any patient looking to restore lost volume and achieve a smooth contour in the upper face while retaining natural balance. It can also make the eyes look less tired.

Our practitioners tailor this treatment to aid with all concerns in the temple area. For example, we can achieve a lift in the brows and the corners of the eyes, with smooth lifted skin to restore any lost youth.

While dermal filler is a highly accessible treatment, we screen for suitability and only treat patients who are 21 years old and older.
