How to treat “Ozempic face”

With the popularity of weight loss prescription medications such as Semaglutide and Tirzeptatide, many are achieving their body goals, but are also experiencing unfortunate side effects from the treatments. One of them being “Ozempic face”. “Ozempic face” is a colloquial term used to describe one’s facial appearance with volume loss after significant weight loss programs.

Symptoms of “Ozempic Face”

Symptoms of “Ozempic Face” include the following:

• Saggy skin
• Hollowness in cheeks, temples, and undereyes
• Sunken eyes
• Jowls
• Deeper folds around the mouth

As we age, our bodies naturally lose more collagen and elastin which are the proteins that help us maintain our skin’s structure, firmness, and tightness. Volume loss further exacerbates our skin’s aging process. What can we do to prevent or treat facial volume loss and “Ozempic Face”?

Treatments for facial volume loss & “Ozempic Face”

• Dermal fillers: Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid-based injectables that help restore facial volume instantly after treatment. Dermal fillers can be used to treat volume loss and sagginess in the cheeks, temples, jawline, chin, and neck. For some patients, dermal fillers can also treat undereye hollowness, but not all patients are a candidate for the treatment.
• Sculptra: Sculptra is a PLLA based injectable that restores volume by stimulating collagen production from deep within our skin. When injected, it boosts collagen and elastin production and gradually restores volume. Sculptra can be used to treat hollowness in the cheeks, temples, and our lower face (e.g., sides of our mouth). It can also be injected into the neck, hands, and chest for full rejuvenation.
• PRF EZ Gel: PRF EZ Gel is an injectable treatment that uses the growth factors from your own blood. Similar to Sculptra, PRF EZ Gel boosts our body’s collagen production and gradually restores volume. Because it uses growth factors from your own blood, results can vary based on the quality and health of your growth factors. PRF EZ Gel is most commonly used to reduce undereye hollowness and the appearance of dark circles.
• Sofwave: Sofwave uses ultrasound technology to boost collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the mid-dermis with zero downtime. The treatment gradually tightens the skin and reduces skin laxity. Sofwave is most commonly used to tighten and lift the eyelids, jawline, upper arms, stomach, and above the knees.
