Losing weight is a meaningful accomplishment. But some changes in your face, skin, or hair along the way may feel less welcome. We create a thoughtful plan around what you’re noticing now — and what may be worth supporting early.
Rapid or significant weight loss — including with GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound — can affect more than the number on the scale.
As facial volume decreases, cheeks and temples may look less full and the face can appear more hollow or tired — changes sometimes called “Ozempic face.” Skin may feel looser, less firm, or more crepey, and some people notice changes in texture or increased hair shedding during faster weight loss.
These changes don’t all happen at once or call for the same approach. We look at what you’re noticing now, where you are in your journey, and what makes sense to address along the way.
Whether you’re just starting, actively losing, or maintaining, we’ll build a personalized plan around where you are now — and adjust it as your needs change.
Questions we hear from patients losing weight
When you lose weight quickly, your face loses fat volume along with the rest of your body. Cheeks flatten, temples hollow, and skin that once had support can look loose or aged — the change people now call “Ozempic face.” It’s normal, and it’s very treatable: restoring lost volume and rebuilding your own collagen usually brings back a rested, natural look rather than adding anything obvious.
No. You don’t need to reach your goal or hold it steady for months before getting support. Some things are actually better to begin early, and anything we can’t do yet we simply plan around your progress. Wherever you are, there’s a helpful next step — we’ll figure out the right one at your consultation.
Yes. Skin-firming treatments work with your body gradually, so starting while you’re still losing can help your skin keep pace rather than falling behind. We’ll decide together what makes sense to begin now and what’s better to time with your progress.
For most people, no. Shedding after rapid weight loss is usually temporary — tied to the stress of the change and shifts in nutrition. Supporting your scalp and hair, from the outside with treatments and the inside with clinically studied supplements, can help it recover and grow in fuller. If shedding is heavy or ongoing, we’ll talk honestly about what’s realistic.
Quite a lot, depending on how much laxity you have. Radiofrequency microneedling, collagen-stimulating treatments, and thread lifting can tighten and support skin on the face, neck, and body without an operation. For very significant loose skin, we’ll be honest about where non-surgical treatment helps most — and where it has limits.
Absolutely — it’s a big part of who we see. The aesthetic changes that come with GLP-1 medications are exactly what this program is built around.
