Post-Ozempic Weight Loss Solutions

I know I’ve written about this before, but with the growing popularity of weight loss medications it feels more relevant now than ever. As more people are achieving significant weight loss with medications like Ozempic® and Wegovy®, I’m seeing an increasing number of patients seeking help for the aesthetic changes that often accompany rapid weight loss. While the health benefits of shedding those extra pounds are undeniable, the impact on your facial structure and body contouring shouldn’t be overlooked. That’s where treatments at Advanced Dermatology can help.

Significant weight loss, whether through lifestyle changes or medications like Semaglitude or Tirzepatide, often results in volume loss across the face. While this is a natural part of weight loss, the result can be a hollowed, gaunt appearance,
often referred to as “Ozempic® Face.” This happens because the fat that once provided youthful fullness diminishes, leaving the skin less firm and dull.

The good news is that dermal fillers offer a simple and effective solution. Products like Juvederm® Voluma® and Restylane® Lyft can restore lost volume in key areas such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline. By replacing this volume, we can bring balance back to your face, leaving you looking refreshed and rejuvenated. For patients looking for long-term improvements in skin texture and firmness, biostimulatory fillers like Sculptra® can stimulate collagen production, enhancing elasticity and restoring your natural glow over time.

While fillers are excellent for restoring volume, addressing skin laxity often requires complementary treatments. Emface® offers a groundbreaking solution for lifting and tightening the skin without needles or downtime. Using radiofrequency and high intensity facial muscle stimulation (HIFES), Emface® strengthens underlying facial muscles while boosting collagen and elastin in the skin. It’s a perfect option with fillers for patients seeking a more natural, lifted appearance.

In addition to Emface®, non-invasive skin-tightening treatments like Ultherapy® and Sofwave™ are excellent options for addressing sagging skin. Both use advanced ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin’s layers. Ultherapy® provides precise, targeted lifting in areas like the jawline and brow, while Sofwave™ delivers a gentler yet highly effective approach to overall skin firmness and elasticity. Combining these treatments with fillers allows us to create a fully customized, multidimensional plan for facial rejuvenation.

Rapid weight loss doesn’t only affect the face—it can also leave behind loose skin or stubborn fat deposits on the body. Many patients find that despite their progress, these areas don’t respond to exercise and diet as they’d hoped. While surgical options like tummy tucks are available, non-surgical body contouring treatments are becoming the preferred choice for many patients.

At Advanced Dermatology, we offer solutions like CoolSculpting®, which targets and freezes stubborn fat cells, and Emsculpt NEO®, a dual-action treatment that burns fat while building muscle. These treatments are particularly effective for areas like the abdomen and arms, where the effects of weight loss may be most pronounced. By combining these modalities with skintightening treatments such as Thermage® or Sofwave™, we can address both the shape and firmness of your body for truly transformative results.

With more patients opting for medications like Ozempic®, we’re seeing a shift in the way people approach weight loss and body sculpting. While these medications can help achieve the goal of significant weight loss, they don’t address the volume loss, skin laxity, or muscle definition that often follows. That’s why treatments like dermal fillers, Emface®, Ultherapy®, Sofwave™, CoolSculpting®, and EmSculpt NEO® are more relevant than ever. They fill the gap, helping patients complete their transformation and feel confident in their appearance.

Every weight loss journey is unique, and so are your aesthetic needs. At Advanced Dermatology, we specialize in creating personalized treatment plans that address both facial volume loss and body contouring concerns. By combining treatments, we can deliver natural, balanced results that reflect your hard work and dedication.

If you’re considering treatments to refine your look after weight loss, now is the perfect time to schedule a consultation. Together, we’ll create a plan that enhances your natural beauty and helps you feel like the best version of yourself.
