This blog explains how SQT supports skin during weight loss
Weight-loss medications such as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro® and other GLP-1 agonists have transformed the way many people approach weight management. For countless individuals, these treatments have delivered life-changing results — improved health, confidence, and wellbeing.
However, rapid or significant weight loss can sometimes be accompanied by unexpected changes to the skin, particularly on the face and body. One of the most widely discussed concerns is what has become known as the “Ozempic Face.”
What is “Ozempic Face”?
“Ozempic Face” is a non-medical term used to describe facial volume loss, sagging, and skin laxity that can occur after rapid weight loss — whether from GLP-1 medications, bariatric surgery, or lifestyle changes.
Common concerns include:
- Hollowing of the cheeks or temples
- Increased fine lines and wrinkles
- Sagging around the jawline and mouth
- Loss of firmness and elasticity
- Crepey or loose skin on the body (arms, stomach, thighs)
These changes are not caused by the medication itself, but rather by fat loss and reduced collagen support beneath the skin.
Why Skin Changes Happen During Rapid Weight Loss
When weight loss happens quickly, the skin may not have enough time to adapt. Factors that influence how the skin responds include:
Age and natural collagen levels
Genetics
Sun damage and lifestyle factors
Length of time the skin has been stretched
Nutritional support during weight loss
As facial fat reduces, the skin can appear looser, making signs of ageing more visible.
