I've had bad luck with fillers in the past (excessive swelling, uneven results) and I'm afraid of side effects of sculptra (nodules, lumpiness) but my temples are getting hollow, can micro needling rebuild collagen in this area and if so how often can I do it? Thank you!

Answer: Microneedling in temples We perform microneedling in the temples all the time. The most common indication for this is acne scarring. Microneedling helps to stimulate new collagen production and smooth out skin imperfections. It is a great treatment but it will not add much volume if the temples are very hollow. Fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane work well in the temple to restore volume. I prefer hyaluronic acid fillers in this area since they can be dissolved if needed. Lumpiness can generally be avoided by blending the filler with lidocaine or saline prior to injection. It all depends on the skill and artistry of your injector.
