Revitalize Your Radiance: Addressing 'Ozempic Face' with Soft Tissue Fillers
As a dermatologist, I have the privilege of guiding my patients through the evolving landscape of aesthetic and medical treatments. One of the latest trends capturing attention is the use of GLP-1 inhibitors, such as Ozempic, for weight management. While these medications offer significant benefits in terms of weight loss and metabolic health, they can also lead to a less desirable side effect known as "Ozempic face."
Understanding 'Ozempic Face'
The term "Ozempic face" refers to the facial volume loss that some patients experience as a result of significant weight loss. This can lead to a gaunt appearance, with hollow cheeks and sagging skin, which may be distressing for those who have worked hard to achieve their weight loss goals. The good news is that there are effective solutions to restore facial volume and rejuvenate your appearance.
The Role of Soft Tissue Fillers
Soft tissue fillers, such as Radiesse and Juvederm Ultra Plus, offer a non-surgical approach to address facial volume loss. These fillers are designed to enhance facial contours, smooth out wrinkles, and restore a youthful appearance. Here's how they work:
-
Radiesse: This filler is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, which provide immediate volume and stimulate collagen production over time. Radiesse is particularly effective for deeper lines and areas requiring substantial volume restoration.
-
Juvederm Ultra Plus: Made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin, Juvederm Ultra Plus is ideal for adding volume to the cheeks and smoothing out moderate to severe facial wrinkles. Its smooth consistency allows for a natural look and feel.
