Best Skin Tightening Treatments for Ozempic Face
The journey to achieving optimal wellness often involves making lifestyle changes, including losing weight to look and feel like a healthier and more attractive version of yourself. And in the last couple years, many individuals have finally been able to lose troublesome weight with medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Semaglutide.
However, while these medications offer numerous health and appearance benefits, they can also lead to adverse changes in one’s face, due to the skin laxity that often occur after rapid weight loss. In fact, the sagging facial skin that occurs after taking weight loss medications is so common it has earned its own name: “Ozempic Face.”
At SpaMedica in Grand Rapids, we understand the importance of feeling confident and comfortable in your skin. That’s why we offer a range of innovative treatments to address the unique concerns of individuals experiencing skin sagging and laxity due to Ozempic, Wegovy, and Semaglutide use.
In this article, the skin tightening experts at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids explore the best treatments for “Ozempic face” that can help you achieve smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin after weight loss.
How Ozempic, Wegovy, Semaglutide Cause Sagging Skin
Before delving into the best treatments for “Ozempic face,” it’s essential to understand how medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Semaglutide can contribute to skin laxity. These medications belong to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by mimicking the effects of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).
Ozempic and other weight loss drugs in this class work by delaying stomach emptying as well as depressing the area of the brain that is responsible for feelings of hunger. This leads to eating less, facilitating rapid weight loss. Additionally, Ozempic helps regulate blood sugar. And preventing blood sugar spikes, can also make one feel less hungry.
However, rapid weight loss often comes at an unfortunate price: sagging skin, especially in the face. With traditional slow weight loss over many months, the skin has time to gradually contract to accommodate the loss of subcutaneous fat. But with rapid weight loss, like that often experienced with Ozempic, the skin (that used to be plumped and filled-out with fat) is simply left sagging.
And, as one ages, the body produces less collagen and elastin with every passing year – further compromising the facial skin’s ability to “snap back” after weight loss. Additionally, it is also believed that GLP-1 receptor agonists may contribute to changes in collagen and elastin production, resulting in further decreased skin elasticity and firmness over time.
Skin Tightening Treatments for Ozempic Face
At SpaMedica in Grand Rapids, we offer a wide range of the most advanced treatments designed to tighten, firm, and rejuvenate the skin for a more youthful and refreshed appearance after weight loss.
Forma Skin Tightening (Lunchtime Lift) for Ozempic Face
Forma skin tightening, also known as the “lunchtime lift,” is a non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) treatment designed to tighten and firm sagging skin on the face and neck. The treatment works by delivering controlled RF energy deep into the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibers. This leads to gradual improvement in skin laxity, with results becoming more noticeable over time.
Forma skin tightening is a quick and comfortable procedure that treats “Ozempic Face” with no downtime, making it ideal for individuals with busy lifestyles. With a series of treatments, patients can achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance without the need for surgery or downtime.
Morpheus8 RF Microneedling for Ozempic Face
Morpheus8 RF microneedling is a cutting-edge treatment at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten and rejuvenate the skin. During the procedure, ultrafine needles are used to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. At the same time, RF energy is delivered deep into the dermis, heating the underlying tissues and triggering collagen and elastin production.
The result is smoother, firmer skin with improved texture and tone. Morpheus8 RF microneedling is safe for all skin types and requires minimal downtime, making it an excellent option for individuals looking to address skin laxity caused by Ozempic Face.
Evolve Tite Skin Tightening for Ozempic Face
Evolve Tite is another state-of-the-art skin tightening treatment that utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy and vacuum technology to remodel and tighten lax skin on the face at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids. This innovative treatment delivers controlled RF energy deep into the skin, heating the underlying tissues and stimulating collagen production. Simultaneously, Evolve Tite’s built-in vacuum technology gently pulls the skin upwards, providing optimal contact between the RF energy and the skin’s surface.
The result is a noticeable improvement in skin laxity, with firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin after weight loss. Evolve Tite treatments are non-invasive, comfortable, and require no downtime, making them an excellent option for individuals seeking to address sagging facial skin caused by Ozempic use.
Three-for-Me Laser for Ozempic Face
The Three-for-Me laser treatment is a comprehensive skin rejuvenation solution that combines three powerful modalities—intense pulsed light (IPL), microbeam laser, and fractional laser—into a single treatment session. This versatile treatment at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids targets a wide range of skin concerns, including sagging skin, wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin tone, and texture irregularities.
The IPL component of the treatment targets unwanted pigmentation and redness, while the microbeam laser stimulates collagen production which tightens the skin after weight loss. Finally, the fractional laser resurfaces the skin, smoothing out wrinkles and improving overall skin texture. The Three-for-Me laser treatment is safe, effective, and requires minimal downtime, making it an ideal option for individuals looking to tighten and rejuvenate their skin after rapid weight loss.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers for Ozempic Face
Hyaluronic acid fillers are a popular injectable treatment used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These fillers are made from a naturally occurring substance found in the skin, making them safe and well-tolerated by most patients.
By strategically injecting hyaluronic acid filler into areas of volume loss and sagging skin, our skilled injectors can create a more lifted and youthful appearance after weight loss. Results are immediate and can last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used. Hyaluronic acid fillers are an excellent option for individuals seeking to address specific concerns such as hollow cheeks, under-eye bags, or marionette lines caused by Ozempic use.
