Ozempic Face: What It Is—and How Radio Frequency Microneedling Can Help

With the rising popularity of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, many people are experiencing dramatic—and often rapid—weight loss. While the physical health benefits can be significant, one of the lesser-discussed side effects is what's now being called “Ozempic Face.” If you're noticing a more hollow, aged, or sagging appearance in your face after weight loss, you're not alone—and you're not without options. At CLEO Skin + Laser, we’re seeing more clients looking for non-surgical solutions to restore volume, elasticity, and youthfulness to their skin after weight loss. One of our most effective tools? Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling.

What Is “Ozempic Face,” Exactly?

“Ozempic Face” refers to the facial volume loss and skin laxity that can occur after significant weight loss, especially in the mid-face, under eyes, jawline, and neck. When you lose weight quickly, it’s not just fat in the body that disappears—facial fat pads shrink as well, often leaving behind looser skin**,** deeper lines, and a more sunken or gaunt appearance. This is especially noticeable in people over 35, when natural collagen and elastin production has already begun to decline. The result can feel frustrating: you’ve made major progress with your health, but your face doesn’t quite match the glow you feel inside.

How Radio Frequency Microneedling Can Help

RF Microneedling is one of the most effective non-invasive ways to tighten skin and improve overall facial structure—without surgery or filler. It works by using ultra-fine needles combined with controlled radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin. This process triggers your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, smoother, and more lifted skin over time.

Here’s why it’s a great option for addressing the signs of Ozempic Face:

• Stimulates Collagen in the deeper dermis to improve elasticity and plumpness
• Tightens and firms loose skin, especially in areas like the jawline and cheeks
• Minimally invasive with little downtime
• Safe for all skin tones
• Natural-looking results that build over time (instead of sudden volume changes)

What to Expect at CLEO

At CLEO Skin + Laser, we specialize in personalized skin tightening treatments using RF Microneedling tailored to your goals. Whether you’re looking to lift sagging cheeks, firm your jawline, or smooth fine lines post-weight loss, we’ll create a treatment plan that matches your skin’s needs and your lifestyle. Most clients see noticeable improvement after 1–3 sessions, with optimal results developing over the following months. We also love pairing RF Microneedling with hydrating facials or laser treatments for a full-face refresh that supports skin health at every level.
