The Skinny on Ozempic Face: Lose the Weight and Refine Your Features

As more people turn to GLP-1s like Ozempic or Semaglutide for weight loss, a new term has emerged: “Ozempic face.” This refers to volume loss and hollowness that the face might start to develop. If this is something you’re worried about, Med 44 Arcadia provides various solutions so keep you looking radiant and youthful!

Volume Loss in the Face

When you lose weight, it’s common to experience a reduction in facial fat as well. This can lead to a more hollow appearance, which then emphasizes features like cheekbones and jawlines. While many admire the look that comes with weight loss, the loss of volume can also result in sagging skin and a less youthful appearance. 

Solutions for Ozempic Face

At Med 44 Arcadia, we offer several treatments to help treat “Ozempic face” and restore the lost volume that comes with semaglutide. 

Dermal Fillers:

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers- Dermal fillers can restore volume to specific areas, helping to create a more balanced and youthful look.

Sculptra and Radiesse- These bio-stimulator products promote collagen production over time, gradually improving lost volume and hollowness. 

Laser Treatments:‍

Fractional Laser Resurfacing: Treatments like Moxi, Cool Peel, and Vivace RF Microneedling can stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, helping to combat sagging and promote a firmer appearance.

Non-Ablative Lasers: Traditional microneedling with SkinPen can help with collagen production as well as smoothing away fine lines and wrinkles. 

How to Maintain Your Results

Maintaining your results after weight loss involves a combination of healthy habits and potential ongoing treatments.

Regular Check-Ins: Schedule follow-up appointments to assess and maintain any dermal fillers or treatments you've received.

Healthy Lifestyle: A balanced diet and regular exercise can help you maintain your weight and overall health, minimizing the likelihood of future weight fluctuations.

Skincare Routine: Consistently using high-quality medical grade skincare products can help maintain skin elasticity and hydration.

Weight Management: If weight gain occurs after treatment, it’s essential to address it promptly. Gaining weight can lead to a return of facial volume, but it may also alter the contours you worked to achieve.

What If I Gain Weight Again?

If you regain weight after treatments for Ozempic face, don’t be discouraged. The body is dynamic, and changes can occur. Med 44 recommends: ‍

Booking a Consultation: Meeting with a provider to discuss your options for addressing any changes in your appearance and further steps to take.

Consider Maintenance Treatments: You might benefit from additional fillers or laser treatments to restore any lost definition.

Stay Committed to Your Health: Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle to stabilize your weight long-term.

Ozempic can be a valuable tool for weight loss, but it's essential to be mindful of the facial changes that may occur. With the right approach, you can embrace your weight loss journey and enjoy a vibrant, youthful appearance.
