The rise in popularity of Ozempic, a medication originally designed to treat type 2 diabetes, has brought significant weight loss benefits to many individuals. However, one of the unintended side effects of rapid weight loss is the phenomenon known as “Ozempic face.” At Frontier Dermatology, we understand the concerns surrounding these facial changes and offer advanced treatments to help you restore your youthful appearance.
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
- More pronounced jowls and nasolabial folds.
These changes are not exclusive to Ozempic users—they can happen with any form of rapid weight loss. However, the accelerated pace of weight reduction with medications like Ozempic makes these effects more noticeable.
Why Does It Happen?
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.
Treatment Options at Frontier Dermatology
At Frontier Dermatology, we specialize in restoring facial volume and rejuvenating skin using cutting-edge treatments tailored to your unique needs. Our offerings include:
Dermal fillers are injectable solutions that restore lost volume and smooth wrinkles. Popular options include:
- Juvederm and other dermal fillers: Hyaluronic acid-based fillers that provide immediate plumping effects for cheeks, lips, and under-eye areas.
- Sculptra: A biostimulator that gradually rebuilds collagen over time for longer-lasting results.
Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. This non-invasive treatment tightens and lifts sagging skin, improving overall facial contours.
3. Morpheus8
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to rejuvenate and tighten the skin at deeper levels. This advanced treatment stimulates collagen production, improves elasticity, reduces wrinkles, and enhances overall skin texture.
Our fractional CO2 laser treatments target fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity while promoting collagen regeneration. This therapy enhances skin texture and tone while minimizing downtime compared to traditional methods.
