“Ozempic Face” refers to a condition in which the face appears gaunt, hollow, sagging, and aged due to rapid weight loss that causes a reduction in facial fat — a key structure supporting the face. This condition has been observed particularly in people using GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic or Wegovy, which were originally developed to treat diabetes but later became popular weight-loss drugs due to their effectiveness in promoting rapid weight reduction.
However, facial hollowing and sagging are not caused solely by weight loss from medication. They can also occur as a result of rapid weight loss through other methods, which leads to the loss of subcutaneous fat that supports facial structure. As a result, the skin becomes loose and less elastic.
Treatment options for Ozempic Face vary depending on an individual’s condition and require a proper medical assessment to determine the most suitable approach. Some of the treatment programs include:
1. Biostimulator Program
This involves injecting a collagen-stimulating substance into the skin to improve firmness, elasticity, and tightness. It’s suitable for those experiencing early signs of sagging skin and fine lines. Noticeable results typically appear within 1–2 months after treatment.
However, because Biostimulators are non-dissolvable, if the substance forms a lump or is accidentally injected into a blood vessel, correction can be challenging. Therefore, precise injection techniques are essential to ensure the collagen stimulation occurs effectively in the correct skin layer.
2. Filler Injection Program
This treatment uses hyaluronic acid-based fillers to restore lost facial volume, especially in deeper fat compartments, helping to lift and rejuvenate the face.
At ATTA Clinic, the SFIL Program (Scan Filler Lift) uses ultrasound imaging to assess facial structures before injection. This allows doctors to inject with high precision, avoid blood vessels, and tailor the treatment to each individual’s anatomy for safer and more natural-looking results.
3. Ultherapy Program
This program uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin by targeting the SMAS layer — the same foundational layer addressed during a surgical facelift. By tightening this layer, Ultherapy helps improve skin firmness and contour without surgery.
Since the depth of the SMAS layer varies from person to person, ultrasound imaging is used to guide energy delivery accurately, ensuring optimal lifting and tightening results.
- Endolift with Ultrasound Precision
This is a minimally invasive laser fiber treatment that lifts and tightens the skin while stimulating new collagen production. Improvements continue to appear over 3–6 months after treatment, and results can last 2–5 years, depending on the individual.
At ATTA Clinic, this procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance, allowing doctors to clearly visualize different facial layers and deliver energy precisely for enhanced effectiveness and safety.
According to Dr. Atita Inwong (Dr. Sroy) of ATTA Clinic, treating Ozempic Face is not just about refilling lost volume to make the face look fuller. It’s about analyzing and rebalancing the deeper facial structure to create a new, harmonious balance.
The goal is not to make the face look exactly the same as before weight loss, but to restore a refreshed, balanced, and confident appearance that reflects your best self.
