It gives injectors another option to treat an area that quietly affects how the entire face looks and feels.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured Experts<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Jason Chouake, MD is a board-certified dermatologist in Cliffside Park, NJ<\/li>\n<li>Papri Sarkar, MD is a board-certified dermatologist in Brookline, MA<\/li>\n<li>Jordan Carqueville, MD is a board-certified dermatologist in Chicago<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to a Galderma press release, clinical data showed visible improvement by three months, with results lasting up to 18 months and high patient satisfaction. \u201cAs rates of medication-driven weight loss expand, we\u2019re seeing greater need for treatments that can address associated facial volume changes,\u201d said Bill Andriopoulos, PhD, head of global medical affairs at Galderma.<\/p>\n<p>Temple volume loss, including in patients experiencing weight loss on GLP-1 medications, can create a hollowed look that makes the face appear more tired or less supported. It is not always obvious at first, but it can shift overall facial balance in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTemple hollowing is one of the most underappreciated drivers of facial aging,\u201d says Cliffside Park, NJ dermatologist Jason Chouake, MD. \u201cHaving an FDA-approved option like Restylane Contour gives us a more standardized way to restore structure in a delicate area. When done well, it can balance the whole face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Restylane Contour, a hyaluronic acid filler already widely used in the cheeks, now extends into the upper face. Restoring volume in the temples can subtly impact surrounding features and overall harmony.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs patients age, they lose fat and collagen in this area, which can signal aging in a more subtle way,\u201d says Brookline, MA dermatologist Papri Sarkar, MD. \u201cTreating the temples helps restore facial shape and harmony and can even create a slight lift through the brow and upper face. It\u2019s one of those changes where people notice you look better, but they can\u2019t pinpoint why.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This area also requires careful technique due to its underlying anatomy. \u201cThe temple is a highly technical area to treat,\u201d adds Chicago dermatologist Jordan Carqueville, MD. \u201cA strong understanding of the vascular anatomy is essential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With this approval, Restylane Contour joins a small but growing group of fillers with more defined use in structural areas of the face. As treatment approaches continue to shift toward full-face balancing, the temples are becoming less of a finishing step and more of a foundational one.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script id=\"11e212685b4237ef528e61442140ad99-1\" type=\"nitropack\/inlinescript\" class=\"nitropack-inline-script\">\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '1572440699746061'); \/\/ Insert your pixel ID here.\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Temples are not usually the first place patients point  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1449,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1448"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
