Can Restylane skin boosters be effective in the temples?

Restylane Boosters-- Best For Increasing Skin Hydration, Firmness, and Overall Quality. It is not particularly useful for elevating a depression, which seems to be your desire here. At least from your description, it would seem that a low viscosity HA Filler might be more appropriate for "topping up" and smoothing this area. It would be wise to discuss this before proceeding. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Thanks for sharing your question and your experience! Restylane Skinboosters are designed primarily to improve skin hydration, quality, and subtle texture, rather than providing significant volume. They work well for fine lines and improving skin elasticity but generally won’t create the same level of projection or “fuller” appearance as traditional hyaluronic acid temple fillers.

For a very slight dip in the temples and the desire for that refreshed, fuller look, standard volumizing fillers (like Restylane Lyft or Juvederm Voluma) are typically more effective. That said, in experienced hands, Skinboosters may give a smoother, more hydrated appearance, and can be used to complement traditional filler.

If your injector recommends Skinboosters, it’s likely with the goal of subtle rejuvenation rather than major volume restoration. The best approach is often a combination: addressing both volume and skin quality to achieve a natural, refreshed look.
