Quick answer

Temple fillers use hyaluronic acid or collagen-stimulating injections to fill hollow temples, softening a gaunt look and subtly supporting the outer brow. Treatment takes about 20–30 minutes; some swelling or bruising may last 1–3 days. Results typically last 9–18 months depending on the product. In Seoul filler costs about ₩250,000–₩500,000 per 1cc, usually 1–2cc per temple.

Why temples hollow with age

The temples—between the outer eye and hairline—lose fat and collagen over time, creating a hollow or sunken look. This can make the face look tired and the outer brows appear lower, and it affects overall facial balance.

What are temple fillers?

Temple fillers are hyaluronic acid (HA) or collagen-stimulating injections placed in the temple area to:

  • Restore lost volume and smooth hollows
  • Subtly support the outer brow area
  • Improve upper-face contour and symmetry

KFDA-approved products are used, chosen according to the depth of hollowing.
