As weight-loss medications like Ozempic and Semaglutide become more popular, we understand the excitement of achieving your goals—however many of our patients taking these medications have expressed concerns about how it has caused their face and body to look older. At Aesthetic Assets in Scottsdale, AZ, we’re here to lend a helping hand in combating the aging effects of weight loss, ensuring you look as vibrant as you feel.
Why Does Weight Loss Contribute to Aging?
When you lose weight, especially rapidly, you may notice changes in your skin’s elasticity, volume, and texture. A loss of about 8-10 pounds can cause significant changes in your face and body. This happens for a few reasons:
- Loss of Facial Fat – The fat pads that provide youthful contouring diminish, leading to hollowed cheeks, sagging skin, and more prominent wrinkles.
- Saggy Buttocks – Losing a noticeable amount of weight can cause your booty to appear flat or saggy.
- Collagen and Elastin Breakdown – With weight loss, collagen and elastin fibers can become less supportive, resulting in loose, crepey skin.
- Dehydration and Nutrient Deficiency – Nutrients are essential for skin health, and rapid weight loss can sometimes lead to deficiencies that contribute to premature aging.
How to Combat Post-Weight Loss Aging
At Aesthetic Assets, we offer advanced treatments to restore volume, stimulate collagen production, and enhance skin elasticity. Our most effective solutions include:
Biostimulators for Natural Rejuvenation
Biostimulators like Sculptra, Bellafil and PRF EZGel help replenish lost volume by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. These treatments provide gradual, natural-looking results that improve skin firmness and reduce sagging in your face, arms and even your booty.
Dermal Fillers for Instant Volume
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvederm, Restylane and Revanesse offer immediate volume restoration, softening wrinkles and lifting facial contours for a more youthful appearance.
Skin Tightening Treatments
Non-invasive procedures like radiofrequency microneedling and laser skin resurfacing can enhance your skin elasticity, improving texture and tone after weight loss. This treatment can be done anywhere your have skin laxity on your body.
CoolSculpting & Accufit for Body Contouring
Even after weight loss, stubborn pockets of fat can remain in areas like the abdomen, thighs, or arms. CoolSculpting offers a non-invasive way to target and reduce these areas through controlled cooling technology, while Accufit stimulates muscle groups to enhance tone, strength, and definition. These treatments are ideal for sculpting and refining your post-weight loss physique.
Medical-Grade Skincare & Hydration Therapy
Proper skincare is essential to maintaining results. Our customized regimens include medical-grade products and IM vitamin therapy to restore vital nutrients and keep skin looking plump and refreshed.
At-Home Support: Nutrition for Skin Health
Supporting your skin from the inside out is just as important. A nutrient-rich diet that includes collagen-boosting foods like bone broth, citrus fruits, leafy greens, and nuts can make a significant difference. Key nutrients to focus on include:
- Collagen supplementation – Will assist your body with collagen production. Look for a supplement that are high quality grass fed, with hydrolyzed peptides for easier absorption and a combination of collagen targeting hair, skin, nails and joints.
- Vitamins and Minerals for collagen synthesis and cellular function. Look for sustainably sourced, clean vitamins and minerals like Global Healing, which we proudly carry at Aesthetic Assets.
- Protein to maintain skin structure, elasticity and assist with muscle tone. Most healthy adults should consume at least 50 – 60 grams of protein per day.
- Hydration is also crucial—aim to drink at least 1 oz of water per pound of body weight throughout the day to keep your skin resilient and glowing. A female weighing 120 pounds should drink between 2 and 4 liters of water per day to maintain good hydration.
