GLP-1 Medications and Aging
As GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, etc.) continue to grow in popularity for weight loss and blood sugar control, many patients are experiencing unexpected changes in their appearance—particularly in the face. This phenomenon, often referred to as “Ozempic face,” is the result of rapid fat loss in areas that give the face its youthful structure and volume. While the overall health benefits of weight loss can be life-changing, the visible signs of aging that come with it can feel discouraging.
Fortunately, there are safe, effective ways to restore natural-looking volume and support collagen production without surgery. At Plaza Aesthetics & Wellness, we specialize in non-surgical rejuvenation using dermal fillers and biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse. These treatments not only replenish lost volume but also stimulate your body’s own collagen production, resulting in long-term skin support and a more refreshed appearance.
While both dermal fillers and biostimulators are injectable treatments used to restore facial volume and improve contours, they work in different ways. Dermal fillers, such as Restylane, are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin that instantly adds volume, smooths wrinkles, and enhances facial features with results that are visible right away and typically last 6–18 months, depending on the product and area. Biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse, on the other hand, provide a gradual, longer-lasting improvement by stimulating your body’s own collagen production. While biostimulators can subtly add volume initially, their true benefit appears over several months as the collagen builds, with results often lasting two years or more. In many cases, these treatments can be used together—HA fillers for immediate lift and structure, and biostimulators for natural, long-term skin support.
If you’ve noticed increased hollowness in the cheeks, temples, or under the eyes after starting a GLP-1 medication, a customized treatment plan using fillers and biostimulators can help restore balance and confidence without altering your natural beauty.
