What to expect

  • The temporalis is a large muscle, so changes take at least 4 weeks to see.
  • If you need a touch-up, it is the same $6 a unit and the 20-unit minimum is waived. For large muscles that is within 2 months.

Possible side effects

  • Hollowing at the temples or a temple headache. It is uncommon and wears off.
  • Bruising or tenderness at the injection sites.
