Restoring Facial Volume to Combat “Ozempic Face”

Have you heard of “Ozempic face”? This phenomenon has been making waves in the weight loss community, particularly among those using semaglutide medications like Ozempic for significant weight reduction. But what exactly is Ozempic face, when does it start, and can it be reversed? Let’s dive into this topic and explore how Nowak Aesthetics in Chula Vista, California, can help you maintain a youthful appearance while achieving your weight loss goals.

Understanding Ozempic Face

Ozempic face refers to the facial changes that occur due to rapid weight loss, often associated with semaglutide medications. This condition is characterized by a more gaunt or aged appearance, with increased visibility of wrinkles and sagging skin. It’s important to note that Ozempic face isn’t a direct side effect of the medication itself, but rather a result of the significant weight loss it can induce.

When Does Ozempic Face Start?

The onset of Ozempic face can vary from person to person, but it typically becomes noticeable when a significant amount of weight is lost quickly. This can happen within a few months of starting semaglutide treatment, depending on individual factors such as age, skin elasticity, and the rate of weight loss.

What Does Ozempic Face Look Like?

Ozempic face is characterized by:

• A hollowed appearance, particularly in the cheeks and under-eye area
• More pronounced wrinkles and fine lines
• Sagging skin, especially around the jawline
• An overall more aged look compared to pre-weight loss appearance

Ozempic Face vs. Regular Weight Loss

While any significant weight loss can lead to facial volume changes, Ozempic face tends to be more pronounced due to the rapid nature of the weight loss induced by semaglutide medications. Regular weight loss that occurs more gradually may allow the skin to adapt better, potentially resulting in less dramatic facial change.

Reversing Ozempic Face: Treatments at Nowak Aesthetics

The good news is that Ozempic face can be addressed with various aesthetic treatments. At Nowak Aesthetics in Chula Vista, California, Dr. Eugene Nowak and his team offer a range of innovative solutions to restore facial volume and rejuvenate your appearance:

EMFACE

EMFACE is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that combines radiofrequency and HIFES (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation) technologies. This dual-action approach helps tighten skin and strengthen the facial muscles that help lift and contour to restore a more youthful contour to the face.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. This FDA-cleared treatment can effectively lift and tighten the skin on the face, neck, and décolletage, helping to counteract the sagging associated with Ozempic face.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is an advanced microneedling treatment that combines radiofrequency energy to remodel and contour the face. It’s particularly effective for addressing skin laxity and can help improve the overall texture and tone of the skin.

Dermal Fillers

Strategic use of dermal fillers, like Juvederm, can restore lost volume in key areas of the face, such as the cheeks, temples, and under-eye region. This can help recreate a more youthful facial structure and soften the appearance of wrinkles and folds.
