What exactly is the ‘Ozempic Face’?
‘Ozempic face’ is a colloquial term for changes in facial appearance following rapid weight loss. The most commonly observed changes include:
- sagging skin on the cheeks and jawline,
- deepening of the nasolabial folds,
- loss of volume around the cheeks and temples,
- more prominent ‘hamster cheeks’,
- a tired, “sunken” appearance of the face.
This is not a defect – it is the skin’s natural reaction to a rapid change in body fat volume.
The best approach to the ‘Ozempic Face’
The best results are achieved through a combination of treatments, including lifting, tightening and skin-firming procedures. The treatment plan is tailored by a specialist to suit each patient’s individual skin needs.
Lifting technologies at Medistica
Laser treatments (skin firming and texture improvement)
- ClearLift (non-ablative laser) — Gentle skin stimulation without peeling and without a long recovery period. Ideal for: improving skin firmness and density, and preventing ageing.
- Discovery Pico (picosecond laser) — Laser skin biostimulation based on the photoacoustic effect. Excellent for: improving skin quality, firmness and rejuvenation without damaging the surface.
- Fractional ablative laser (CO₂ / Er:YAG) — Intensive skin remodelling through resurfacing. Excellent for: deep regeneration, smoothing, and improving skin structure and firmness.
Non-surgical treatments (non-surgical facelift)
- HIFU — A focused ultrasound wave that acts on the deeper layers of the skin. Ideal for: lifting the cheeks and jawline, and improving facial contours.
- Morpheus 8 Pro (microneedle radiofrequency) — Powerful stimulation of the skin and deeper tissues. Excellent for: improving skin tone, reducing sagging, and thickening the skin.
- Accent Prime — Advanced firming technology acting on the skin and subcutaneous tissues. Excellent for: improving skin tone, reducing sagging of the face and neck.
Aesthetic medicine (volume restoration and regeneration)
- Biostimulators — Formulations that stimulate the skin to produce collagen. Ideal for: restoring skin density and improving skin quality without a ‘filler’ effect.
- Hyaluronic acid (volumetry – subject to assessment) — Precise restoration of volume in areas where it has been lost. Excellent for: restoring facial proportions and natural tissue “support”.
- Needle mesotherapy — Regeneration and nourishment of the skin with carefully selected preparations. Excellent for: improving hydration, elasticity and skin quality.
Original combined therapy
Sagging skin following weight loss rarely requires a single treatment. The best results are achieved by combining different technologies.
At Medistica, a specialist tailors a personalised plan following an assessment of:
- the degree of sagging and skin quality,
- volume loss,
- skin sensitivity and the patient’s lifestyle,
- expected results and recovery time.
Depending on the indications, the plan may include laser treatments, skin-tightening technologies and regenerative procedures – combined safely and logically in stages (rather than ‘all at once’).
The results
Depending on the treatments chosen, patients most commonly notice:
- improved skin firmness,
- a more defined facial contour,
- thicker skin and greater elasticity,
- a reduction in sagging of the cheeks and jawline,
- a more rested and youthful appearance,
- a natural result without looking overdone.
The effects build up gradually as the skin regenerates.
What does the treatment plan involve?
- Consultation and assessment — A specialist assesses the skin, the degree of sagging and loss of volume.
- Selection of technologies and treatments — The plan may include lasers, lifting devices and aesthetic medicine.
- Phased treatment — Where necessary, treatment is spread out over time to ensure maximum safety and the best results.
