Can GLP-1 Injections Make You Look Older? Understanding “Ozempic Face” and Ethical Aesthetic Support
Can GLP-1 Injections Make You Look Older? Understanding “Ozempic Face” and How to Prevent It
GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy have changed the landscape of weight loss and metabolic health. For many, they offer life-changing benefits, improved insulin sensitivity, reduced appetite, and significant fat reduction. But alongside those powerful changes, some patients have noticed something unexpected: facial volume loss, sagging skin, and an overall more aged appearance. This phenomenon has been dubbed “Ozempic face.”
What Is “Ozempic Face”?
“Ozempic face” refers to the physical changes that may occur in the face as a result of rapid weight loss, particularly subcutaneous fat loss. The cheeks may appear flatter or more sunken, the under-eye area can look more hollow, and skin looseness may become more pronounced around the jawline and temples. For some, these changes can feel at odds with how confident they feel inside as a result of their weight loss.
Why Does It Happen?
GLP-1 receptor agonists don’t just promote weight loss, they change the way your body metabolises fat. While that’s ideal for your overall health, it can lead to facial fat depletion, reduced collagen support, and even subtle changes in muscle tone and skin hydration. These structural shifts may create the appearance of premature ageing, despite improvements in metabolic markers and body composition.
How Ethical Aesthetic Support Can Help
At The Aesthetic Treatment Rooms, we understand that your journey is about more than just numbers on a scale. It’s about feeling great in your skin. That’s why we offer tailored, minimally invasive aesthetic treatments to restore balance and preserve your natural beauty. Options may include:
Subtle dermal fillers to replace lost volume while maintaining facial harmony
Biostimulatory injectables, such as polynucleotides, to encourage collagen and elastin production
Skin-tightening procedures, including radiofrequency treatments, to lift and firm
Our approach is always ethical, patient-led, and rooted in your unique needs, not trends. We believe aesthetics should reflect and support your wellbeing, not mask it.
