The journey to a healthier weight is a celebrated achievement, but for many, rapid weight loss can bring an unexpected side effect: a gaunt or aged appearance on the face. Dubbed “Ozempic face,” this phenomenon refers to the facial volume loss, wrinkles, and skin sagging that can occur when fat diminishes quickly, leaving the skin without its underlying support structure. The good news is, you don’t have to choose between a healthier body and a youthful face. At Ziva Wellness, we have solutions to help you achieve both.
What is Ozempic Face and Why Does It Happen?
The Science of Facial Aging and Weight Loss Our faces contain a natural network of fat pads that give us a youthful, plump appearance. As we age, these fat pads naturally shrink and descend, leading to a loss of facial volume, particularly in the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. When significant weight is lost rapidly, this process is accelerated, as the facial fat pads shrink quickly, leaving the skin with less support. This can lead to the appearance of hollowed-out cheeks, more prominent wrinkles, and a loss of overall facial contour.
Addressing Facial Volume Loss and Skin Sagging
Dermal Fillers for Restoring Lost Volume One of the most effective and popular solutions for restoring lost facial volume is the use of dermal fillers. Products like Juvederm® are made of a hyaluronic acid-based gel that can be strategically injected to replace lost fat. By carefully placing filler in the cheeks, temples, or under the eyes, a skilled professional can lift and contour the face, recreating a more youthful and natural-looking appearance. The results are immediate and can last for several months to over a year, depending on the product used.
Skinvive: A New Approach to Hydrated, Glowing Skin Beyond just filling in volume, we can also address the quality and texture of the skin itself. Ziva Wellness offers Skinvive by Juvederm®, an innovative injectable that enhances skin smoothness and hydration. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume, Skinvive improves the skin’s ability to retain moisture, leading to a smoother, more radiant complexion. This is an excellent complementary treatment to address the dull, dry skin that can sometimes accompany rapid weight loss.
