The Cosmetic Skin Clinic has been featured in PBL Magazine’ “Best Skin Tightening Treatments Post Ozempic Weight Loss” piece.
The global popularity of GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic has revolutionized weight loss, however, the rapid shedding of pounds has led to an unintended side effect, the “Ozempic face.” This term refers to facial volume loss and skin laxity, prompting an increasing demand for aesthetic treatments to restore lost fullness and rejuvenate the skin.
Tara Jackson, Senior Aesthetic Medical Practitioner at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, explains, “The surge in Ozempic use for weight loss has undoubtedly transformed many patients’ bodies, but often at a cost to facial aesthetics. Rapid weight loss can leave clients with volume loss, skin laxity, and a gaunt appearance, commonly referred to as ‘Ozempic face.'”
Dr. Matthew Jarvie-Thomas, Cosmetic Doctor at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, elaborates, “One of the biggest drivers of facial aging is volume loss, particularly in the deep structural fat pads. These fat pads act as the scaffolding that supports the skin and connective tissue. When they shrink, especially with significant weight loss, the lower face can start to look lax, hollow, or saggy.”
Effective Treatments for “Ozempic Face”
To combat the effects of “Ozempic face,” there is a range of advanced treatments that focus on restoring lost volume and tightening the skin.
Bio-Stimulators: Sculptra
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, bio-stimulators such as Sculptra stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, gradually restoring facial volume and improving skin elasticity. The Sculptra treatment provides long-lasting, natural-looking rejuvenation, making it particularly effective for addressing larger areas of volume loss, such as hollow temples and sunken cheeks.
Restore Your Youthful Look
If you’re experiencing facial volume loss from rapid weight reduction, bio-stimulators like Sculptra, combined with other skin-tightening treatments, offer effective solutions for regaining a refreshed, youthful appearance.
