A recent CNN Health article brought national attention to a side effect many people are noticing after losing weight with GLP-1 medications like Ozempic® and Wegovy®. Often called “Ozempic Face,” the term describes hollow cheeks, sagging skin, and an overall “deflated” appearance that can follow rapid weight loss.

While these medications have been life-changing for many, they can sometimes leave patients feeling like they look older—even though they’re healthier. The good news? Correcting these changes doesn’t necessarily require surgery. At La Boussole Medical Spa & Wellness Center, we offer award-winning, physician-directed treatments that restore balance, volume, and confidence.

Support for Any Post-Weight Loss Journey

Whether you’ve lost weight on your own, with the help of a surgeon, or through GLP-1 medications, La Boussole is here for the “after.” Our comprehensive services help clients address the natural effects of weight loss, from loose skin and facial hollowing to muscle loss and hydration needs.

We also offer our own award-winning weight loss program using GLP-1 injections, paired with nutrition and medical oversight. Once clients achieve their goals, we continue to support them with treatments designed to keep them looking and feeling their best.
