The rise in popularity of Ozempic has brought significant weight loss benefits to many individuals. However, one of the unintended side effects of rapid weight loss is the “Ozempic face.” Learn why GLP-1 meds cause facial volume loss and explore the best non-surgical treatments at Greenwich Medical Spa.
What is “Ozempic Face”?
“Ozempic face” refers to the hollowed, gaunt appearance that can result from rapid weight loss. This occurs because the fat and muscle that provide facial volume diminish quickly, leading to:
- Sunken cheeks
- Loose skin
- Increased wrinkles
- Hollow under-eye areas
- Tired appearance
- More pronounced jowls and nasolabial folds
Why It Happens
Facial fat plays a vital role in maintaining a youthful appearance. When weight is lost rapidly, the skin loses elasticity and volume, resulting in sagging and an aged look. Additionally, collagen production may slow down during this process, further exacerbating visible signs of aging.
The Most Effective Treatments for Ozempic Face
Sculptra, fillers, and botox are the top treatment options for “Ozempic face.” These help to return volume to the skin and tighten the areas where sagging may occur.
Dermal Fillers (HA-based)
For patients with significant weight loss after taking Ozempic, we recommend HA-based dermal fillers. They don’t just fill—they actually stimulate your body to rebuild collagen over time. Collagen is the skin’s support beams. More collagen production leads to tighter-looking cheeks, a cleaner jawline, and less sag.
Biostimulators: Sculptra, Radiesse, PRFM Gel
By administering poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance, deep within the skin’s layers, injectables like Sculptra gradually restore lost volume by increasing collagen levels.
Ultherapy®
A non-invasive skin lifting treatment, Ultherapy® combines microneedling and radiofrequency to penetrate the skin in a more targeted way, effectively maximizing collagen and elastin production for rejuvenated skin.
RF Microneedling (VirtueRF)
By combining microneedling, radiofrequency, and adding LED light therapy, RF Microneedling triggers your body’s healing and collagen-producing abilities. You will enjoy skin that is firmer, smoother, and literally glows from the inside.
