“Ozempic neck” refers to the loose, sagging skin around the neck and jawline that some patients experience after rapid weight loss while on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. The skin does not always have time to adjust to the body’s changing shape, leading to a prematurely aged appearance.
Why Does It Happen?
Rapid weight loss can reduce fat volume faster than the skin can retract.
Loss of collagen and elastin, especially in those over 35, makes the skin less elastic.
Age, genetics, and skin quality also play a role.
How to Treat “Ozempic Neck”
At HALO, we offer a comprehensive range of advanced treatments designed to tighten, lift, and rejuvenate the neck area, addressing sagging and skin laxity commonly seen with rapid weight loss from medications like Ozempic.
1. Potenza RF Microneedling
Potenza combines the power of radiofrequency energy with ultra-fine microneedling to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. This dual-action treatment promotes skin tightening, improves firmness, and enhances overall texture by triggering the body’s natural healing response—perfect for treating loose or crepey skin on the neck.
2. Radio Frequency/Ultrasound-Based Treatments (Oligio X, Ultherapy Prime)
These non-invasive energy-based therapies use focused ultrasound or radiofrequency to target the deeper foundational layers of the skin—where collagen lives—without damaging the surface. Oligio X and Ultherapy Prime treatments are ideal for lifting and tightening sagging neck tissue, offering a natural-looking, long-lasting lift with minimal downtime.
3. Rejuran Healer
Rejuran is a skin-rejuvenating booster made from highly purified polynucleotides (PNs) that help repair and regenerate damaged skin. When administered to the neck, it can boost collagen synthesis, improve skin elasticity, and thicken the dermis, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin over time—especially effective for treating the thinning and laxity caused by rapid fat loss.
4. Medical-Grade Skincare + Neck-Specific Products
Consistent use of targeted skincare can significantly enhance and prolong the results of in-clinic treatments. Products like firming neck creams, peptides, and collagen-boosting serums nourish the skin, support elasticity, and maintain hydration, making them essential components of a complete “Ozempic neck” care routine.
