Ozempic is one of the most popular medications used for weight loss on the market. It has an active ingredient, semaglutide, but it is not interchangeable. Ozempic is therefore not considered a weight loss drug. But because weight loss is a side effect, doctors still prescribe Ozempic for weight loss off-label.
Semaglutide injections, also known as the “SKINNY SHOT” are the newest obsession in the aesthetic industry. Originally designed for diabetic glucose control, these shots are now being used for weight loss.
Ozempic face refer to the saggy, loose, and aged appearance that some people notice in their glutes or face after several months on semaglutide. The problem is that if you stop taking semaglutide, you’ll likely regain the weight you lost. Because of this, you may need to stay on these medications indefinitely in order to keep the weight off.
Since the weight loss is relatively rapid, the structure of the skin and deep facial tissues do not have time to restructure and shrink, leaving the overlying tissue and skin with increased laxity, volume loss, and more wrinkles. Because of this, patients may experience the “Ozempic Face” or “O Face”.
The O-Face may lead to a hollow and gaunt look that could be disconcerting to patients. Here at Jules Beauty Bar, we can reverse and treat these unwanted effects in several ways. Using fillers like Radiesse and Sculptra can add back the structural support needed by adding volume while stimulating the body’s natural collagen.
Weight loss can be life-changing, open new possibilities, and improve daily experiences. However, it can be very frustrating when results include unwanted and unexpected changes in how your face looks.
Jules Beauty Bar are here to assist you on your journey to becoming your best self.
