Is Ozempic Face Treatment Painful?

Prior to your session—whether treatment includes microneedling, PRP, dermal fillers, or biostimulators—we will numb your skin with a topical anesthetic. This ensures you feel no pain or discomfort during your session. After your treatment, you can take over-the-counter pain relief to offset any mild tenderness or soreness in the treatment areas.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

The precise number of appointments depends on your goals, the extent of volume loss and hollowness, and the specific approach chosen by Dr. Subbio to correct the adverse effects of Ozempic. Patients usually schedule follow-up sessions every few months to optimize and maintain their results.

How Long Until I See Results?

Dermal fillers usually produce immediate results with a noticeable improvement in volume and smoothness of the skin. Changes with microneedling, PRP, and biostimulators often take longer to reveal results because they rely on a gradual increase in collagen production over time.

Can I Combine Ozempic Face Treatment With Other Procedures?

Yes. Dr. Subbio is a masterful, board-certified plastic surgeon who offers a wide range of surgical and non-surgical solutions to help patients achieve their unique aesthetic goals. He’ll work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your preferences.

What Are the Risks Associated With Ozempic Face Treatment?

Common side effects of Ozempic Face treatments include minor swelling, redness, itchiness, and tenderness. Dr. Subbio and his team reduce the likelihood of complications by adhering to strict safety protocols and carefully screening patients before treatment.

Introduction

Introduction to
Ozempic Face Treatment

Ozempic is an injectable weight loss drug that has taken the medspa world by storm. Ozempic has helped many patients regain confidence, comfort, and quality of life as a non-surgical solution for dramatic weight loss. However, rapid weight loss can result in unwanted, loose skin. While the abdomen may be the most common area, an increased occurrence of skin laxity in the face has become known as a condition that providers have termed “Ozempic Face.”

At Subbio Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa in Philadelphia, PA, our team can customize treatments to help restore your appearance and regain your peace of mind, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of significant weight loss.

What Is Ozempic Face?

“Ozempic Face” describes the condition of facial sagging and volume loss that develops when the body loses weight quickly and the skin does not have time to contract around the new contours properly. Ozempic is a GLP-1 receptor agonist medication that mimics natural appetite-suppressing hormones, helping to control blood sugar levels, reduce cravings, and slow the passage of food through the stomach, all of which contribute to reduced calorie intake.

While weight loss can be essential for optimal health, it often results in a deflated midface, jawline, and temples, causing patients to look older than they feel. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Christian Subbio provides natural-looking solutions for Ozempic Face utilizing the most cutting-edge and innovative technologies.

Treatments for Ozempic Face

While Ozempic Face can be frustrating, it is also highly treatable. Dr. Christian Subbio can perform a variety of treatments that offset volume loss, firm loose skin, and rejuvenate your look. Your personalized treatment plan may include:

BOTOX and Wrinkle Relaxers: While BOTOX doesn’t directly reduce skin laxity, it can improve your appearance by softening lines, wrinkles, and creases that have become more prominent with massive weight loss.
Dermal Fillers: Hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvederm and Restylane can restore fullness and vitality in the face after significant weight loss. These products are designed to enhance youthfulness in the midface, temples, under-eye region, and nasolabial folds.
Sculptra – Sculptra is a biostimulator that works by replenishing the body’s natural reserves of collagen—a protein responsible for supple, plump, hydrated contours.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): PRP is a regenerative treatment that utilizes your own blood to boost collagen production and restore the skin’s texture, tautness, and tone.
Microneedling: Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, initiates the body’s natural wound-healing process to trigger the production more collagen by applying tiny micro-injuries to the skin. The treatment can be paired with PRP to maximize skin elasticity.
