Combatting “Ozempic Face”: How to Restore Your Glow
As more people turn to medications like Ozempic® to achieve significant weight loss, a new concern has emerged: “Ozempic face.” This term describes the facial volume loss and skin sagging that can occur after rapid or substantial weight loss, leaving some feeling less confident in their appearance. With a range of advanced, non-surgical treatments, we can rejuvenate your face, restore lost volume, and bring back that youthful glow. Here’s how:
Dermal Fillers: Instant Volume Restoration
Dermal fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, and Radiesse are designed to replenish lost volume and smooth wrinkles. These injectables work by filling in areas that appear sunken or hollow, such as the cheeks, temples, and under-eye regions. The result? A naturally refreshed and more youthful look, often achieved in a single session.
Liquid Facelift (Volumalift): A Non-Surgical Lift
For a comprehensive approach, the Liquid Facelift combines multiple dermal fillers and injectables to lift and contour the face. This treatment targets sagging skin and volume loss simultaneously, offering a rejuvenated appearance without the downtime of surgery. It’s perfect for those who want an overall refresh.
INFINI: Tighten and Tone
INFINI combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. This dual-action treatment tightens loose skin, improves texture, and reduces the appearance of fine lines. Over time, your skin becomes firmer and more radiant.
Thermage CPT: Collagen Remodeling for Tighter Skin
Thermage CPT uses radiofrequency technology to heat the deeper layers of the skin, prompting natural collagen remodeling. This process tightens sagging areas and smooths the skin’s surface, delivering noticeable results with zero downtime.
Fraxel Repair Laser: Resurface and Rejuvenate
Fraxel Repair is a fractional laser treatment that resurfaces the skin, improving tone, texture, and elasticity. By stimulating collagen production, it helps reduce wrinkles and restore a youthful vibrancy, making it an ideal choice for addressing the effects of weight loss on the face.
Why Addressing “Ozempic Face” Matters
Losing weight is a significant accomplishment, and you deserve to feel great in your own skin. While weight loss can lead to a healthier body, it’s common to notice changes in the face that might leave you feeling self-conscious. Our treatments are designed to restore balance, ensuring your appearance reflects the vibrant, confident person you are.
Don’t let “Ozempic face” overshadow your incredible weight-loss journey. Schedule a consultation today and discover how we can help you put your best face forward.
Restore the Sparkle in Your Eyes with Advanced Treatments
So much of your appearance—how youthful or tired, happy or sad, or refreshed or worn out—is influenced by your eyes. If you feel like the sparkle in your eyes has dimmed over time, you’re not alone—and the good news is, we can help.
The delicate skin around your eyes is among the thinnest on your body, making it highly susceptible to aging and environmental stress. With time, this area loses its natural volume and elasticity, leading to concerns such as:
- Dark circles.
- Bags or puffiness.
- Hollowing under the eyes.
- Drooping lids and brows.
- Fine lines and wrinkles like crow’s feet.
Additionally, the collagen network that provides structure and support to your skin naturally breaks down with age. Factors like sun exposure and repeated facial expressions—smiling, squinting, and frowning—accelerate the formation of lines and wrinkles.
What Can Help?
We offer a wide range of nonsurgical treatments designed to rejuvenate and refresh the eye area safely and effectively.
Restylane Eyelight: A Game-Changer for Tired Eyes
Restylane Eyelight is a revolutionary dermal filler specifically designed to address under-eye concerns. If you struggle with dark circles or hollowing under your eyes, this targeted treatment can:
- Restore lost volume for a more youthful appearance.
- Brighten the under-eye area, reducing the look of dark circles.
- Smooth contours for a natural, refreshed look.
- Deliver results with minimal downtime.
Dermal Fillers
In addition to Restylane Eyelight, other fillers like Belotero, Juvederm, and Restylane can address lines, wrinkles, and volume loss around the eyes. They effectively plump up crow’s feet, smooth fine lines, and restore a youthful appearance to hollow areas.
Neurotoxins
Botox, Dysport and Jeuveau are excellent options for minimizing dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as crow’s feet. These injectables relax targeted muscles, creating smoother, more refreshed skin.
Laser Treatments
Advanced laser options, including Fraxel Repair, Fraxel DUAL, Laser Wrinkle Reduction, and Clear & Brilliant, can:
- Improve skin texture and tone.
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
- Enhance luminosity for a radiant glow around your eyes.
Why Choose Nonsurgical Eye Rejuvenation?
Our treatments are carefully selected to enhance the natural beauty of your eyes while addressing the most common concerns. Whether you’re looking to brighten, tighten, or smooth, we’ll work with you to create a personalized plan that leaves you looking happy, younger, and completely refreshed.

This quick procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Microdermabrasion
Often called the “lunchtime peel,” microdermabrasion is a swift and painless treatment that rejuvenates and revitalizes your skin. It effectively reduces fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne, clogged pores, scarring, and other skin concerns. Suitable for all skin types, microdermabrasion can be performed on various areas, including the face, neck, chest, arms, elbows, knees, and hands.
INFINI
INFINI utilizes microneedling combined with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. This approach effectively reduces wrinkles, tightens skin, and improves overall texture, offering noticeable results with minimal downtime.

Revitalize Your Skin with Fraxel Laser Treatments
When it comes to advanced laser skin rejuvenation, Fraxel is the gold standard. This cutting-edge procedure is designed to repair and renew your skin, effectively reversing signs of sun damage, aging, and environmental exposure. Fraxel lasers focus precisely on targeted areas, restoring your skin’s youthful radiance, texture, and tone with minimal downtime.
Choose Your Fraxel Experience: Fraxel DUAL or Fraxel Repair
Fraxel offers two specialized options to suit different skin needs and goals: Fraxel DUAL and Fraxel Repair. Let’s explore how each treatment can transform your skin.
Fraxel DUAL Laser: Versatile and No-Downtime
Ideal for a range of skin concerns, Fraxel DUAL delivers moderate-level treatment for pigmentation issues, uneven tone, fine lines, acne scars, and rough texture. This laser can treat areas both on and off the face, including the neck, chest, and hands. By stimulating your body’s natural healing process, Fraxel DUAL resurfaces and restores skin, improving tone and texture over time. You can resume your daily activities right after treatment, and multiple sessions may be recommended for best results.
Fraxel Repair: Deep Rejuvenation for Dramatic Results
For those seeking a more intensive solution, Fraxel Repair offers a high-impact treatment option. Using carbon dioxide (CO2) laser technology, Fraxel Repair penetrates deeply to address pronounced signs of aging, such as deeper wrinkles, stubborn lip lines, extensive sun damage, sagging skin, and acne or surgical scars. Fraxel Repair not only reduces wrinkles and discoloration but also tightens the skin by stimulating collagen production. Typically, only one session is needed, with results that are visibly transformative. While the recovery time is more substantial than with Fraxel DUAL, the outcome is a significantly smoother, more youthful-looking complexion.
Ready for Your Skin Transformation?
With either Fraxel treatment, you’ll enjoy smoother, younger-looking skin with enhanced radiance. Schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss your skin goals and determine which Fraxel option is best suited to your needs.
Renewal-Lift: A Customized, Nonsurgical Solution to Aging
As we age, the effects of time often show up in several areas of the face all at once. You might start to notice a loss of facial fat, looser skin, and deeper lines around the eyes, nose, and mouth. Overall, skin quality can decline, making you feel like you’re aging faster than you expected. These changes can be difficult to address with just one type of treatment, especially when traditional options like surgical facelifts offer only a one-dimensional approach.
That’s why I developed the Renewal-Lift—a comprehensive, nonsurgical solution designed to target multiple signs of aging at once. The Renewal-Lift is tailored to each individual’s specific needs, combining Botox, dermal fillers, and skin tightening or resurfacing treatments. This multi-dimensional approach allows for full facial rejuvenation without the downtime, scars, or potential “stretched” look that can accompany surgical procedures.
How the Renewal-Lift Works:
The Renewal-Lift is a blend of advanced treatments that work together to restore youthful volume, smooth wrinkles, and tighten sagging skin:
- Injectables like Botox and dermal fillers replace lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and minimize furrows and folds.
- Skin resurfacing and tightening treatments such as Fraxel Dual, Fraxel Repair, Thermage CPT, and Exilis Ultra 360 treat lines and wrinkles, while tightening the face and neck for a firmer, lifted look.
Why Choose the Renewal-Lift?
- It’s a nonsurgical treatment with no need for general anesthesia or incisions.
- There are no scars, and the results are natural—avoiding the “pulled” look sometimes seen with traditional facelifts.
- The Renewal-Lift provides both immediate and long-term results, enhancing skin both at the surface and deep within.
- You get visible, youthful results without the extensive recovery time associated with surgery.
I’m proud to offer the Renewal-Lift to patients seeking a natural, younger-looking appearance that reflects their best self. Whether you’re looking to smooth lines, add volume, or tighten sagging skin, this treatment is designed to help you achieve comprehensive rejuvenation.
If you’re ready to explore how the Renewal-Lift can help you, schedule a consultation with me today. Together, we’ll create a customized treatment plan that’s tailored to your unique goals.
Neck Appeal: Top Treatments to Turn Back the Clock on Aging
Just like the skin on your face, the delicate neck area is highly susceptible to aging and environmental damage. Over time, you might notice unwanted changes in texture and tone, such as sagging, wrinkles, or pigmentation.
Brown spots and discoloration, particularly on the décolletage, can become more noticeable due to sun exposure. The chest area may also appear red, blotchy, or wrinkled. In addition, some people develop horizontal lines or bands around the neck, while others see vertical cords, known as platysmal bands, becoming more prominent. As collagen and elastin levels decline with age, the skin on the neck may start to sag and take on a crepey appearance.
At home, it’s important to take care of your neck just as you do your face. Make sure to moisturize, apply SPF, and use retinol products to maintain a healthy, youthful look. But if you’re not seeing the results you want, we offer a variety of advanced treatments that can help you achieve a firmer, more youthful neck.
Here are some of our most effective solutions:
- SmartLipo Triplex: This procedure permanently removes fat by destroying fat cells and tightening the delicate neck skin.
- Kybella: A series of injections that dissolve submental fat (under the chin) while also providing some skin-tightening benefits.
- Infini: Combines microneedling with radiofrequency to tighten the neck and jowls while reducing crepiness.
- Thermage CPT: A non-invasive treatment that tightens the skin on the neck and jowls.
- Exilis Ultra 360: A non-invasive method for tightening the neck and jowls, with the added benefit of fat reduction.
- Fraxel Repair: Resurfaces and tightens the skin on the neck and jowls, improving both crepiness and hyperpigmentation (red or brown spots).
If you’re ready to rejuvenate your neck, call our office today to schedule a complimentary consultation. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve the beautiful, youthful look you deserve.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Turning Back Time: Effective Treatments for Sagging Skin
Sagging skin isn’t something you mark on your calendar: “Skin sagging, July 15th.” It’s a gradual change that sneaks up on you until one day, you notice it.
The once firm and taut skin now appears to droop. You understand that your body’s collagen production has slowed, but the effects are more noticeable than expected. Collagen, the natural substance that supports your skin, helps maintain a youthful and lifted appearance. As it depletes due to aging, hereditary factors, or environmental influences, your skin may begin to sag. This, combined with a decrease in elastin, the material that provides suppleness and resilience, results in a loss of skin tension and elasticity.
No area of your body is immune. You might notice sagging on your face, neck, eyelids, abdomen, arms, legs, and buttocks. While no non-surgical treatment can completely reverse this process, many options can significantly improve your appearance. We offer safe and effective treatments designed to help your skin look younger and tighter.
Here are a few:
- Thermage CPT: A thermal lift particularly effective for reducing loose skin around the eyes.
- Exilis Ultra 360: This treatment combines radiofrequency and ultrasound to offer maximum power and targeted control, focusing on specific areas that need attention.
- INFINI: A high-energy radiofrequency device that smooths wrinkles and plumps skin, also helpful for minimizing acne scarring.
- Fraxel Repair: A laser treatment that reduces deep lines, hard-to-erase lip lines, pronounced photodamage, sagging face and neck skin, facial wrinkles and discolorations, rough skin texture, and both acne and surgical scars.
- SmartLipo Triplex: A laser treatment that simultaneously removes fat and tightens skin.
- Kybella: A treatment used to minimize submental fat, commonly known as the “double chin.”
If sagging skin concerns you, come in and talk with us about how we can help you feel better. Our consultations are complimentary, so call today to schedule an appointment.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Reclaim Your Youth: Non-Invasive Solutions for Sagging Skin
As time passes, it’s natural for our skin to undergo changes. The once firm and resilient appearance may give way to sagging and drooping, signaling a decrease in collagen and elastin production—the building blocks of youthful skin. Whether due to aging, genetics, or environmental factors, sagging skin can affect various parts of the body, from the face and neck to the abdomen and limbs. But fear not, for there are safe and effective treatments available to restore firmness and vitality to your skin.
At East End Laser Care, we offer a range of non-invasive treatments designed to combat sagging skin and rejuvenate your appearance. Here’s how we can help:
Thermage CPT: Using radiofrequency technology, Thermage CPT stimulates collagen production, resulting in tighter, smoother skin with minimal downtime.
Exilis Ultra 360: This innovative treatment combines radiofrequency and ultrasound to target sagging skin, delivering noticeable results with no surgery required.
INFINI: By harnessing the power of microneedling and radiofrequency energy, INFINI stimulates collagen production, effectively tightening and lifting sagging skin.
Fraxel Repair Laser: Fraxel Repair Laser resurfaces the skin, promoting collagen regeneration and improving overall skin tone and texture.
Smartlipo Triplex: This advanced laser liposuction technique not only removes unwanted fat but also tightens the skin, resulting in a smoother, more contoured appearance.
Kybella: Specifically targeting submental fullness, or double chin, Kybella injections help eliminate fat and improve the appearance of sagging skin under the chin.
Ultra Femme 360: A non-invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten and lift the skin in the vaginal and labial areas, promoting a more youthful appearance.
