What is Ozempic Face and How to Fix It

/

Ozempic, a medication commonly prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes and aiding in weight loss, has become increasingly popular. Not only are celebrities using it, but GLP-1s have gone mainstream. So much so, you can’t open a publication, or browse online without seeing news about Ozempic, Wegovy, Monjauro or Trizepatide,all brands using the wonder drug, Semaglutide!

However, with its rising use, a new term has emerged in the world of aesthetics: "Ozempic Face." In this post we'll explore what Ozempic Face is, what causes it, how it manifests, and most importantly, how to prevent and treat it using non-surgical cosmetic solutions.

Understanding Ozempic Face

Ozempic Face refers to a more slender and refined facial appearance that often comes with a loss of volume in the cheeks and a more pronounced bone structure. It can occur as a result of significant weight loss while taking Ozempic. However, rapid or substantial weight loss can sometimes result in the loss of facial fat and muscle mass, causing the face to appear hollow or aged.

Preventing Muscle Mass Loss While on Ozempic

Now that we know what Ozempic Face is, let’s talk about how you can try to prevent it while taking Ozempic. It’s important to focus on preserving muscle mass and maintaining overall health while losing weight. Here are some strategies:

  1. Prioritize Protein Along With a Balanced Diet: Ensure you’re consuming enough protein to support muscle maintenance. Lean meats, dairy, legumes, and nuts are excellent sources.

  2. Strength Training: While you don’t have to exercise on Ozempic to lose weight, if you incorporate resistance exercises or weight training into your routine it can build and preserve muscle mass. 

  3. Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration can improve skin elasticity and overall appearance.

  4. Adequate Sleep: Quality sleep is essential for muscle recovery and skin health

Fixing Ozempic Face with Non-Surgical Cosmetic Solutions

If you’ve already experienced the effects of Ozempic Face, don’t worry—there are several non-surgical treatments available at SkinSpaMED to restore facial volume and rejuvenate your appearance.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a great option for replacing volume lost while losing weight on Ozempic.  When you come in for a consultation, our expert injector will analyze your face and bone structure to determine which of these options would be the right fit for you. 

  • Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Products like Juvederm and Restylane can add volume to the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and other areas of the face, creating a fuller and more youthful look.

  • Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers: Radiesse can stimulate collagen production, providing both immediate and long-lasting volume restoration.

  • Poly-L-Lactic Acid: Fillers like Sculptra work by stimulating the body’s collagen production over time, gradually restoring facial volume and improving skin texture.

Surface Treatments

Losing volume may also accentuate fine lines, wrinkles, creepy skin and other skin texture issues. To combat that, we recommend coming in for regular maintenance that not only includes the dermal fillers mentioned above, but also surface treatments that target skin issues like:

  • SkinVive

  • Neucleoskin

  • Co2

  • Tixel

  • PRX-T33

  • Ultherapy
