Plump your skin after Ozempic

The loss of facial fat from Ozempic can lead to sagging skin, a hollowed-out appearance, and increased wrinkling that makes people look prematurely aged.

I am sure by now you have heard of the “Ozempic face”! A term for common side effects of the type 2 diabetes medication semaglutide (Ozempic). It can cause sagging and aging of facial skin. A doctor may recommend lifestyle modifications or facial fillers to treat skin and facial side effects.

How to treat Ozempic Face?

1. Dermal Fillers

• Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: These can restore lost volume in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes.
• Collagen-Stimulating Fillers: Products like Sculptra or Radiesse can stimulate collagen production, helping to gradually rebuild the skin’s support structure.

2. Skin Tightening Treatments

• Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments: Procedures like Thermage or RF microneedling can tighten loose skin and improve texture.
• Ultrasound Treatments: Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin, targeting deeper layers.

3. Facial Fat Transfer

• This involves harvesting fat from another part of the body and injecting it into areas of the face that have lost volume. It provides a more natural look and is a longer-lasting solution compared to fillers.

4. Collagen-Boosting Skincare

• Retinoids: Products like retinol can help boost collagen production and improve skin texture.
• Vitamin C Serums: These can help brighten the skin and stimulate collagen.
• Peptides: Copper peptides, in particular, can aid in skin repair and collagen synthesis.

5. Healthy Diet and Hydration

• Ensuring a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats can help maintain skin health.
• Staying well-hydrated is also crucial for keeping the skin plump and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

6. Lifestyle Adjustments

• Avoid excessive sun exposure: Sun damage can exacerbate skin aging, so wearing sunscreen daily is essential.
• Quit Smoking: Smoking accelerates skin aging, leading to further volume loss and wrinkles.
• Adequate Sleep: Rest is vital for skin repair and overall well-being.

Restore Loss of Volume in the face

If you are looking to restore areas of volume loss in the face, then dermal fillers can be a great option.

Dermal fillers are an injectable treatment made up of hyaluronic acid. When injected into the face, this can plump and lift the skin for a healthier appearance.

Reduce sagging skin on the face

Sagging skin on the face can cause you to look older than you are, a great way to tighten the skin is our non-surgical skin tightening treatment, Ultherapy.

Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V) energy to treat to precise depths of the skin not matched by any other non-invasive cosmetic device. The treatment stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to lift and tighten loose skin.
