The Sculptra treatment can be recommended to treat hollow temples, as it replaces collagen and replenishes the lost volume. It is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable material that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production.

When used for hollow temples, Sculptra is injected into the deep tissue layers of the temples to add volume and create a more youthful, natural-looking appearance. The treatment typically requires multiple sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve the desired results.

Some patients have seen longer lasting results with thicker injectables such as Radiesse®, as they offer good lifting capabilities. It is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel-like solution. When injected into the skin, the CaHA microspheres provide a scaffold for new collagen growth, leading to a longer-lasting result compared to other fillers.

When used for hollow temples, Radiesse is injected deep into the tissue to create volume and fill in the hollowed-out area. The treatment typically takes less than 30 minutes and results can last up to 18 months or more.
