How Weight Loss Can Affect Your Face and Body—and the Treatments to Help You Look and Feel Your Best

Losing weight is often a milestone of self-improvement and wellness, but as you shed pounds, you may notice unexpected changes in your face and body. While weight loss improves your overall health and boosts confidence, it can sometimes leave behind sagging skin, volume loss, or stubborn fat pockets that don’t respond to diet and exercise.

At Healthy Solutions Medspa, we offer advanced treatments like dermal fillers, CoolTone, and CoolSculpting to help you achieve a sculpted and more youthful appearance after weight loss.

How Does Weight Loss Affect the Face?

  • Volume Loss: Significant weight loss can reduce fat in your face, leading to a gaunt appearance and emphasizing fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Loose Skin: A slimmer face may result in excess skin around the jawline and cheeks, making you look older than you feel.
  • Hollowed Features: Loss of fat in the mid-face can cause your cheeks to flatten and under-eye areas to appear sunken.

Treatments for the Face after Weight Loss: Dermal Filler Rejuvenation

Dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are non-surgical solutions to restore lost volume and smooth fine lines and are perfect treatments to correct volume loss related to weight loss.

  • How Dermal Fillers Work: Dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that plumps and hydrates the skin.
  • What Dermal Fillers Can Do:
    • Add volume to hollow cheeks and under-eyes.
    • Contour the jawline for a more defined look.
    • Smooth wrinkles around the mouth and nose.

Dermal fillers provide instant results with little to no downtime, making them a popular choice for rejuvenating your face post-weight-loss.

How Weight Loss Can Affect the Body:

Losing weight improves your health and makes you feel great. But, you may feel that some areas of your body still have stubborn pockets of fat, loose skin, or muscle loss that you may want to address that is not responding to diet and exercise.
  • Sagging Skin: Losing a significant amount of weight can leave behind loose, sagging skin on areas like the abdomen, chin, thighs, and arms.
  • Stubborn Fat Pockets: Despite diet and exercise, some areas—like the lower abdomen, love handles, and under the chin—may hold onto stubborn fat.
  • Loss of Muscle Definition: With less fat, the lack of muscle tone can become more noticeable.

Treatment Post Weight Loss for the Body: CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that eliminates stubborn fat by freezing and destroying fat cells.

  • How It Works: Using controlled cooling technology, CoolSculpting targets fat cells, which your body naturally eliminates over time.
  • What It Can Do:
    • Contour the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and other trouble spots.
    • Permanently reduce fat in targeted areas without surgery.
    • Complement your weight-loss results for a slimmer silhouette.

Treatment for Muscle Loss post Weight Loss: CoolTone

With weight loss can come muscle loss and the CoolTone treatment is a non-invasive body contouring treatment designed to enhance muscle tone and strength.

After weight loss, it can be particularly beneficial to build up that muscle loss and achieve a more sculpted and defined appearance.

CoolTone enhances muscle tone and definition using magnetic muscle stimulation (MMS).

  • How It Works: CoolTone delivers electromagnetic energy to contract muscles, mimicking the effects of intense exercise.
  • What It Can Do:
    • Strengthen and tone muscles in the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs.
    • Create a more sculpted, athletic appearance.
    • Boost your confidence by enhancing your body’s natural contours.

Juvederm Voluma Now FDA Approved for the Temples

Posted on
juvederm voluma fda approved for temples bucks county pa

A youthful face has long been associated with full, smooth contours and balanced proportions.

One area that often goes unnoticed in the quest for youthful volume is the temples.

The temples, located on the sides of the face between the outer brow and the hairline, are prone to hollowing and volume loss as we age.

This can make the face look sunken or tired, adding years to your appearance.

Fortunately, with the recent FDA approval of Juvederm Voluma for use in the temples, patients now have a safe and effective solution for restoring volume in this subtle but impactful area.

Understanding Temple Hollowing and Volume Loss

As we age, the natural fat pads in our face start to diminish, and the bones can appear more pronounced, particularly around the temples.

This loss of volume leads to a hollowed or concave appearance in the temples, which can impact the shape of the upper face.

Restoring volume to this area not only softens the face but also brings balance to the surrounding features, such as the eyes and cheeks.

juvederm voluma fda approved for temples bucks county pa

Why Use Juvederm Voluma for the Temples?

Juvederm Voluma has been a trusted dermal filler for years, primarily used to add volume to the cheeks, giving patients a more youthful contour.

Juvederm Voluma is manufactured by Allergan, the maker of the number one wrinkle reducer, Botox. It’s made with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, known for its ability to hold moisture and support skin elasticity.

With its smooth, gel-like consistency, Voluma provides long-lasting volume and lift, making it ideal for areas that require a gentle, natural-looking enhancement.

With its recent FDA approval for the temples, Juvederm Voluma brings the same rejuvenating effects to this often-overlooked area.

It allows injectors to address the hollowing in a way that looks balanced and natural, avoiding the “overfilled” look that can sometimes occur with other injectable treatments.

Benefits to Using Juvederm Voluma for the Temples:

The temple area is delicate and challenging to treat with traditional dermal fillers. Juvederm Voluma offers several advantages:

  • Smooth and Long-Lasting Results: Juvederm Voluma’s unique formulation provides a subtle and smooth result that can last up to 18–24 months.
  • Natural-Looking Contour: By restoring volume to the temples, Voluma helps to create a balanced facial contour, enhancing your natural features without looking overdone.
  • Safe and Approved: FDA approval signifies that Voluma has undergone rigorous testing for safety and efficacy specifically for temple use, giving patients and providers confidence in the treatment.

What to Expect During Your Juvederm Voluma Treatment for the Temples:

Treatment with Juvederm Voluma for the temples is quick, minimally invasive, and typically involves little downtime.

After a consultation to assess your facial structure and discuss goals, an experienced injector will use a fine needle or cannula to place Juvederm Voluma precisely in the temple area.

Most patients describe minimal discomfort, and numbing agents are often used to enhance comfort during the procedure.

Results are immediate, although there may be some mild swelling or bruising that typically resolves within a few days.

The effects of Juvederm Voluma can last up to two years in the temples, making it a convenient option for long-lasting rejuvenation.

Why Choose Healthy Solutions Medspa for your Juvederm Voluma Temple Treatment:

With the FDA approval of Juvederm Voluma for the temples, our team is excited to offer this new treatment to help you achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance.
