Summary
This study tested Restylane Contour, a hyaluronic acid gel, for treating temple hollowing in 225 adults. Participants received either the gel or no treatment. Results showed that most treated patients had at least a one-grade improvement on a temple volume scale. The gel is already used for other facial areas, and this trial supports its use for temples.
