A topic that is currently close to many patients' hearts: the revitalisation of facial skin after significant weight loss, whether through weight-loss injections or traditional diets.
It is no secret that such weight loss may flatter the figure, but unfortunately often leaves unwanted traces on the face. The skin becomes lax, appears hollow and older. Not exactly the "fresh start" one had hoped for!
"Ozempic Face" is a term that has become synonymous with sunken facial features. This side effect occurs with weight-loss injections from all manufacturers – alongside Ozempic also Wegovy, Mounjaro and others.
But there are good solutions here too. With Sculptra, Profhilo Struktura, fillers, nanofat, modern biostimulators or the One Stitch Facelift, we restore lost volume, tighten the skin and additionally improve skin texture. Combinations are HIGHLY effective.
Treatment Methods at a Glance
Sculptra – the volume booster
Sculptra is based on poly-L-lactic acid – a substance that can stimulate collagen production deep within the dermis. Think of it as a small fitness programme for your skin: Sculptra fires the starting pistol and your skin gets to work producing collagen. Gradually, new, natural volume builds up. The results? Noticeably firmer, plumper skin that not only feels younger, but looks it too.
Profhilo Struktura – the architect of your skin
Profhilo Struktura is THE gold-standard method on the horizon of skin regeneration, particularly suited to your skin when you are looking for a subtle yet comprehensive rejuvenation. We focus less on individual wrinkles and more on your overall facial architecture.
The basis consists of hyaluronic acids of varying molecular weights, with which we revitalise your skin structure from within, strengthen it and increase its elasticity. Almost like a futuristic energy drink for your skin cells. Treatment with Profhilo is ideal for reconstructing sunken cheeks or temples after weight-loss injections.
Hyaluronic acid – hydration to the power of 3
Hyaluronic acid has been a star in aesthetics for decades. This polysaccharide binds moisture intensively within the skin, delivering immediate results. In seconds! Whether deep nasolabial folds or mouth corners, lines on the forehead, chin or cheeks – with hyaluronic acid we fill these in. This way, even after significant volume loss following weight-loss injections, you look instantly younger. Ideally in combination with biostimulators.
Nanofat – natural and long-lasting
Nanofat is a further development of the autologous fat transfer method. The patient's own fat is harvested, specially processed and injected in fine particles into the affected facial areas. The advantage: it is the body's own material, which integrates naturally and delivers long-lasting results.
Polynucleotides – the regeneration specialists
Biostimulators are true "magicians" of skin renewal. They improve skin quality long-term by increasing microcirculation and skin hydration. This makes them ideally suited for facial treatment following weight-loss injections.
One Stitch Facelift – effective mid-face tightening
The One Stitch Facelift, sometimes referred to as a mini-facelift, is an effective tightening procedure with which we can lift the mid-face and jawline, elevate jowls and give your face a more youthful appearance.
Causes of Skin Laxity After Rapid Weight Loss – the "Ozempic Face" Phenomenon
When it comes to weight loss, and in particular that achieved with pharmacological support such as weight-loss injections, we encounter an interesting phenomenon referred to in aesthetics as "Ozempic Face". This occurs when subcutaneous fat tissue diminishes rapidly – unfortunately an unwanted side effect of such treatments.
From a scientific perspective
Subcutaneous fat tissue plays an important role in the youthful appearance of our skin. It serves as a stable cushion that keeps the skin firm and plump.
Closing Thoughts
The good news is that it is possible to dramatically reduce the effects of "Ozempic Face" – and restore the skin's former glow.
Knowing that every skin has its own story to tell, one of our specialities is creating personalised treatment plans. Because in aesthetics, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for us!
When we put together the right combination of methods for you, you will quickly feel comfortable in your own skin again. That is our goal!
