While the weight loss benefits of Ozempic (semaglutide) have transformed lives, many patients have noticed a side effect called “Ozempic face”—a phenomenon where rapid weight loss causes facial skin to sag, giving a more aged appearance. Thankfully, non-surgical solutions such as Botox, dermal fillers, and skin tightening treatments can effectively address these concerns. At Body Sculpt Skin & Laser in Tysons Corner, VA, we offer a range of cutting-edge treatments designed to help you maintain your youthful appearance as you achieve your weight loss goals.
What is "Ozempic Face"?
Rapid weight loss, especially with medications like Ozempic, can cause the face to lose fat, leading to sagging skin, hollow cheeks, and an overall gaunt look. This is often referred to as “Ozempic face”. Fat provides volume to the face, so when it's lost quickly, the skin can lose its elasticity and appear older than it is (AOL.com) (Cleveland Clinic).
Restoring Youthful Skin: The Best Treatments for “Ozempic Face”
At Body Sculpt VA, we specialize in a variety of non-invasive treatments to help restore lost volume, tighten sagging skin, and rejuvenate your appearance. Here are some of the most effective solutions for combating "Ozempic face":
1. Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are designed to replace lost volume and fill in wrinkles. They work by injecting hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin, to plump up areas like the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and under-eye hollows. This gives the face a fuller, more youthful appearance and combats the hollowed look caused by rapid weight loss.
2. Botox
While Botox is best known for smoothing out wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles, it can also be an important part of a rejuvenation plan for patients experiencing sagging skin from weight loss. Botox can reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles (like crow’s feet and forehead lines), providing a more refreshed and youthful look.
3. Ultherapy
If you’re looking for a non-invasive skin tightening solution, Ultherapy is an excellent option. It uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production, tightening and lifting the skin naturally. This FDA-cleared treatment is perfect for lifting sagging skin on the face, neck, and décolletage without the need for surgery.
4. Radiofrequency (RF) Skin Tightening
RF therapy uses heat to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the skin, providing long-term skin tightening benefits. It’s a great option for those who want to improve the elasticity of their skin, particularly after significant weight loss. This treatment is comfortable, non-invasive, and requires no downtime.
5. Microneedling with Radiofrequency
This advanced treatment combines the collagen-boosting benefits of microneedling with the tightening effects of radiofrequency. It’s an excellent option for those looking to firm up loose skin while also improving skin texture and tone.
