New weight-loss solutions are always being discovered. One such treatment that has gained popularity in recent years is the use of Ozempic®, a medication primarily used to help manage type 2 diabetes. However, in addition to its primary function, Ozempic has also been noted for its potential to help with weight loss.
This is great until you notice your face looking gaunt and hollowed due to reduced volume. Now what do you do?
What Is Ozempic Face?
The look now commonly called “Ozempic Face” stems from common side effects of the type 2 diabetes medication Semaglutide (Ozempic). It is characterized by:
- increased signs of aging, such as more lines and wrinkles
- loss of fat, which can lead the skin to become loose and sag
- a hollowed-out appearance
- lipodystrophy, which affects how the body accumulates and stores fat
If you are considering exploring the potential diabetes and/or weight-loss benefits of Ozempic, it’s important to understand the various solutions and treatments available to restore a vibrant and healthy facial appearance.

Losing weight and controlling type 2 diabetes are both excellent goals, but how do you restore facial volume so your appearance is healthy and beautiful?
Dermal Fillers for Immediate Volume Enhancement
One popular solution for addressing age-related volume loss and providing immediate results is the use of dermal fillers. These injectable fillers can be used to target areas of the face that have lost volume over time, such as the cheeks under-eye area, and lips. By strategically injecting dermal fillers, a skilled practitioner can help restore youthful fullness and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, providing a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance.
Fat Grafting for Longer-Lasting Results
For individuals seeking longer-lasting results, fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, offers a natural and semi-permanent solution for facial rejuvenation. During a fat grafting procedure, fat cells are harvested from one area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, and then carefully re-implanted into the face to restore volume and improve skin texture.
Tailored Skincare Regimens
In addition to in-office procedures, maintaining a consistent and tailored skincare regimen is essential. A comprehensive skincare routine can help address specific concerns such as uneven skin tone, fine lines and loss of elasticity. Using high-quality skincare products containing ingredients such as retinol, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C can help restore a healthy appearance to your face.
