You’ve worked hard to lose weight with injections like Ozempic, and that’s something to be proud of! But you might have noticed changes in your face and body, like your skin feeling less firm or a loss of that youthful fullness—commonly called “Ozempic face.” This happens because rapid weight loss from these injections can lead to the loss of lean muscle mass and skin elasticity. It’s completely normal to feel a little self-conscious with these changes after such a big transformation.
While you may be adjusting to your new face and the related changes in skin elasticity, Adorn Cosmetic in Oakland can help you shine even brighter. Microblading and permanent makeup are fantastic ways to enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence. By defining your eyebrows or adding subtle, lasting touches, you’ll feel radiant every day without the fuss of daily makeup application. Our permanent makeup proceduress give you that polished look you want and help you embrace your body with pride.
Understanding “Ozempic Face”
Ozempic face is a common experience when you lose weight quickly with injections like Ozempic. It’s the result of rapid fat loss in your face, which can lead to some visible changes that might feel surprising or unsettling.
When you lose weight fast, especially with the help of these weight loss injections, here’s what you might notice in your face:
Sunken cheeks and hollow areas, especially around the eyes and temples
Loose, sagging skin that wasn’t ready to tighten up yet
More visible lines and wrinkles, making the face look aged
Drooping skin around the jawline (sometimes called jowls)
A gaunt or tired appearance due to loss of facial volume
Changes in the size and fullness of lips, chin, and cheeks
Increased visibility of facial bones as fat pads shrink
Reduced skin elasticity and collagen, causing overall looseness
Beyond the face, rapid fat loss can contribute to a loss of lean muscle mass and reduced skin elasticity on your body as well. These natural effects of quick weight loss can affect how your skin feels and looks, which might make you want a little extra help feeling confident in your new look.
If you've been on weight loss injections and are noticing these changes, microblading or permanent makeup might just be the perfect finishing touch to celebrate your transformation and feel amazing in your skin.
What is Microblading?
Microblading is a permanent makeup procedure that uses a super-fine tool to deposit pigment into skin. The tool creates strokes that closely resemble individual hairs. The procedure provides a semi-permanent effect distinct from standard cosmetic tattoos, which allows clients to change their brow design over time as trends change and the face ages. There is minimal discomfort during the procedure as we use a topical numbing cream before starting the procedure and add additional numbing while completing the brows.
The pigment remains for a period between 18 months and 3 years before fading, making this a form of semi-permanent makeup. Microblading is popular because it offers a natural look and reduces the need for daily brow makeup. Microblading is especially beneficial for those with sparse or uneven eyebrows, offering a customized shape that complements your facial features.
We love the convenience of microblading, but it can boost your confidence by giving brows a balanced, symmetrical, and polished appearance without the worry of smudging or reapplying makeup throughout the day.
Microblading For Men and Women Who’ve Taken Weight Loss Injections
After losing weight rapidly, your face may show signs of volume loss and changes in your brows that can make you feel less like yourself. Microblading offers a simple, low-maintenance way to restore definition and fullness to your eyebrows, framing your face beautifully and boosting your self-esteem. Whether you’re looking to refresh your look or add that perfect finishing touch after your weight loss journey, microblading helps you feel like the best version of yourself every day.
At Adorn Cosmetic, we make sure your microblading looks totally natural and just like you by customizing the shape, arch, and color to fit your unique features perfectly.
Here are some of the reasons clients choose microblading after rapid weight loss:
Microblading Restores a Natural Frame: Even if your brows have thinned significantly, microblading recreates fullness and definition while still looking soft and realistic.
Permanent Makeup Saves Time: Forget daily pencils and powders that smudge easily during hot flashes or workouts. Your brows remain effortlessly in place.
Microblading Boosts Confidence: When your brows look polished, your whole face lights up. You feel more aligned with your vibrant inner self.
Low Maintenance, Long-Lasting Beauty: With occasional touch-ups, your results last for years.
Microblading Precare and Aftercare
Microblading aftercare is very important for achieving the best results and proper healing.
Pre-care is important to get the skin at optimal condition for color deposit, keep you comfortable during the procedure, and reduce potential swelling and bruising after your appointment.
It’s very important that you come to your appointment with your brows grown out. It's beneficial to see how your hair grows naturally to inform the design process, and we can clean them up at your appointment. If you would like to clean them up or tint them beforehand, please do so 7 days prior to your appointment.
•If you normally pencil or color in your brows, please pencil them in how you like them. The area will be properly cleaned and re-drawn but this provides a general idea of the shape you would like.
•If you do not pencil in your brows, you can bring reference photos of brows you like but it is not necessary.
•You must stop using Retin A, Retinal, or Renova around your brow area 14 days prior to procedure. You must stop using Accutane six months prior to procedure.
•Inform your technician of how often you use any of these products before your appointment.
•Botox, Fillers or Dysport must be done at least 14 days prior to your appointment. It takes 2 weeks to settle in the skin. Receiving either within 14 days of your appointment will result in being sent home and asked to reschedule.
We provide detailed microblading aftercare instructions on our website along with every appointment.
