Ozempic, a widely used medication for managing diabetes and promoting weight loss, has garnered attention for an unexpected side effect – weight loss in the face. Termed the “Ozempic face,” this phenomenon refers to the aesthetic concerns of facial aging, gauntness, and skin sagging experienced by some users. While Ozempic offers significant health benefits, Haute Beauty experts at Refine Health explore the aesthetic consequences and potential solutions for patients striving for both physical and aesthetic well-being.

The Aesthetic Side Effect

Achieving weight loss goals through Ozempic can result in fat depletion in the face due to a lack of nutrients and rapid weight loss. This depletion affects the skin’s elasticity and fat pads, leading to visible signs of facial aging. Patients who have achieved their desired weight may find themselves faced with the “Ozempic face,” causing aesthetic distress and a desire for rejuvenation.

Recommended Solutions

Fortunately, there are effective aesthetic interventions available to address the concerns associated with the “Ozempic face.” Here are three recommended options:

1. Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is a state-of-the-art radio frequency micro-needling machine designed to tighten and lift the skin, promoting facial rejuvenation. By utilizing this innovative technology, patients can revitalize their appearance by targeting and uplifting specific areas of the face affected by the “Ozempic face.” Morpheus8’s precision allows for remarkable skin tightening and the stimulation of collagen production, leading to a more youthful and rejuvenated facial profile.

2. Sculptra

Combining Morpheus8 with Sculptra, a polylactic acid filler known for its ability to promote collagen growth, can provide further benefits in combating the aesthetic side effects of Ozempic. Sculptra’s collagen-stimulating properties assist in restoring lost volume to the face, ultimately resulting in a fuller and more youthful appearance. By encouraging collagen production, Sculptra contributes to the long-term improvement of the skin’s texture, firmness, and overall rejuvenation.

3. Hyaluronic Acid Filler

Another viable option for patients seeking to regain facial fullness is the use of Hyaluronic Acid filler. By injecting this filler, Refine Health expert injectors can restore lost volume, helping patients reclaim the youthful contours they once had. Hyaluronic Acid fillers offer lasting results, contributing to a more balanced and rejuvenated facial appearance.
