Have you taken part in the weight loss revolution sweeping the nation? Have you seen stunning weight loss results? But have these results also contributed to some negative aesthetic outcomes? Maybe you’re considering using injectable weight loss treatments but may have seen information about certain unwanted side effects. Let’s talk about Semaglutide Face. What does it mean, why does it happen, and is there a way to fix it?
You’ve probably heard of injectable medical weight loss medications such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide that have helped many people lose significant amounts of weight in recent years. Semaglutide, often sold under brand names such as Wegovy, along with Tirzepatide, a.k.a. Mounjaro, are similar medications and work in similar ways. They are part of a class of medication known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, which imitate naturally occurring GLP-1 in the body. This hormone is key in the regulation of blood sugar, appetite, and satiety.
In short, Semaglutide, and other drugs like it, work by curbing your appetite, helping you to feel full longer, meaning, in turn, you can eat less and lose weight. They are injectable and are typically administered once a week, most often at home, and are closely monitored by a qualified medical practitioner. In many cases, patients are able to lose up to 15 percent or more of their body weight with few lifestyle changes.
As we know, rapid weight loss can often cause areas of loose skin that many individuals choose to address with treatments that range from lasers to tummy tucks. However, facial fat loss can present a different challenge. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide patients have noted in particular that this stunning weight loss transformation tends to create a sunken, hollow appearance in the face, leaving them looking gaunt and much older than pre-weight loss. For those who may have been overweight for a significant part of their adult lives, excess fat on the face may have masked certain signs of aging. However, once that excess fat is gone, the years may be revealed.
It is disheartening for many to experience such amazing body results only to feel robbed of success by the aged appearance of the face. The great part is, in many cases, these weight loss-related signs of aging are still subtle enough to be treated with simple, minimally-invasive or non-invasive aesthetic procedures that can leave patients looking great from head to toe. And these are not just for women. Semaglutide face is also a concern for men who’ve lost significant weight, and these options are great for the guys as well.
The versatility of injectable fillers and neuromodulators means that a skilled practitioner can design treatment to smooth lines and restore volume strategically throughout the face. Botox can help with dynamic wrinkles that have become more visible without subcutaneous fat. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane can plump up hollow areas and add a supple, hydrated appearance. Alternatives like Radiesse and Sculptra can add volume, contour, and definition while building new collagen for a lasting, restored result.
If you are in need of a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation after weight loss, options like a PDO Thread Lift or a Rejuvenation Lyft could be ideal. The Rejuvenation Lyft expands on the use of fillers and offers strategic filler placement throughout the face in areas that could include the cheeks, lips, tear trough, nose, jawline, chin, or more. The innovative PDO Thread lift offers similar results to a facelift but is non-surgical and utilizes the placement of dissolvable sutures to lift the face and stimulate ongoing collagen production for a lasting, youthful result.
If skin laxity due to weight loss is a concern for you, laser and energy treatments are a great option. Morpheus8 is just one example of a dual technique that can tighten the skin as well as improve skin texture. Using a combination of microneedling and RF (radiofrequency) technology, the Morpheus8 treats deep into the skin to stimulate collagen repair and transform the skin.
