What Is Ozempic Face, and Can You Get Rid of It Naturally?

“Ozempic Face” is a term that has gained a lot of attention in the media recently. It refers to the changes some people notice in their facial appearance after significant weight loss. Ozempic (Semiglutide) was originally a medicine primarily used to treat diabetics but has subsequently become one of a series of medications (Monjaro, Wygove, Saxenda) which can be used to support weight loss as part of a holistic program of care.

Although “Ozempic Face” has become a catch-all phrase, it is not unique to Ozempic. Any form of rapid or substantial weight loss, whether from medication, surgery or lifestyle changes, can cause the fat in the face to reduce. The result? A gaunter, more hollow appearance, and looser skin that no longer has the same support or structure it once did.

While the term might sound unkind, it simply describes what happens when facial fat reduces quickly, especially in areas like the cheeks, jawline and under the chin. For some, this can lead to sagging skin or a more tired-looking appearance.

How to Avoid Ozempic Face?

If you are using Ozempic or on any weight loss programme or weight loss medication, there are proactive steps you can take to improve the quality of your skin and prevent the skin becoming saggy.

First and foremost, skin care matters. Using medical-grade skincare products that support collagen production and improve skin turnover is essential. Ingredients such as retinol, peptides and hydrating agents can keep your skin plump, resilient and radiant as your body transforms.

We also recommend energy-based treatments during your weight loss journey, not just afterwards. Treatments like radiofrequency microneedling, HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) and NeoGen plasma can all help maintain firmness and boost collagen as you lose weight. This means your skin can better ‘snap back’ as your face slims.

Lastly, be wary of relying on filler alone to solve sagging skin. Without a healthy skin foundation, filler can make the face look artificial or overfilled. Instead, a natural approach that supports your skin from the inside out is much more effective.

Is Ozempic Face Real?

Yes, it is real, but it is not exclusive to Ozempic. “Ozempic Face” is just a nickname for the visible effects that occur when we lose facial fat quickly. The skin, once supported by fat, becomes looser and can appear saggy or tired.

This process happens with any type of significant weight loss. However, that does not mean it is inevitable or unfixable. The key is to understand what is happening and take steps to protect and care for your skin as your weight changes.

Importantly, the health benefits of losing weight far outweigh the temporary aesthetic concerns. Reducing your weight lowers your risk of serious illnesses like heart disease, diabetes and cancer, and with the right approach, your skin can be supported too.

What Does Ozempic Face Look Like?

“Ozempic Face” typically describes a thinner, more hollow facial appearance that can make someone look older or more tired than they feel. You might notice:

  • More pronounced cheekbones with loss of volume in the mid-face

  • Loose skin around the jawline or under the chin (sometimes called “turkey neck”)

  • A general loss of plumpness or “bounce” in the skin

This look can be more noticeable in people who lose weight quickly, who are older, or whose skin already had some laxity.

But it is not inevitable, and it is not permanent either. With the right skincare, treatments and support, your face can regain firmness and radiance.

Will Ozempic Face go away?

In many cases, yes - especially if you give your skin time. It can take longer for skin to adjust than it takes to lose the weight itself, so be patient. For some, the skin naturally improves over time as collagen production gradually increases and the skin adapts to its new structure.

However, if you are older, have been overweight for a long time, or have not been supporting your skin throughout your weight loss journey, you may find it harder to regain skin tightness without additional help.

That is where targeted, non-surgical treatments can make a huge difference. Treatments like radiofrequency microneedling, HIFU and NeoGen plasma are some of the most effective ways to stimulate collagen and elastin, helping your skin tighten naturally, look fresher and regain definition.
