If you’re considering taking GLP-1 medications for weight loss like Ozempic, it’s important to understand the process and what to expect. Sure, you’re likely to achieve your weight loss goals. That’s the upside. But there’s also a downside you’ll want to prepare for: loss of facial volume.
While highly effective for weight loss, GLP-1 medications can also reduce production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the skin. Added to a loss of fat and muscle, this loss of vital connective tissues can lead to visibly sagging skin and deep folds at the mouth and jowls.
Are you prepared for facial volume loss?
Before you start your weight loss journey, it’s a good idea to plan for the potential loss of facial volume. Just as a facial sunscreen is the best solution for preventing signs of aging, you’ll want to prepare for GLP-1 skin changes.
IMAGE Skincare collaborated with Dr. Raja Sivamani, an Integrative Dermatologist and Adjunct Associate Professor of Dermatology at UC Davis, to create the first treatment developed for facial changes due to rapid weight loss when using GLP-1 agonists.
VOL.U.LIFT™: the first treatment for GLP-1 skin changes.
VOL.U.LIFT™ GLP-1 4D Skin Rebound Complex is a revolutionary topical treatment that improves the appearance of facial skin in 4D: deflation, deep wrinkles, dehydration and density.
VOL.U.LIFT™ GLP-1 4D Skin Rebound Complex is a firming face cream designed with next generation hyaluronic acid, collagen fragments, bakuchiol and amino acids with lipofilling results. The complex of potent actives in our skin tightening crème improves skin impacted by GLP-1 induced facial volume loss and skin texture decline by addressing the appearance of lost volume, sagging, crepey skin texture, dehydration and wrinkles.
What’s the technology behind the VOL.U.LIFT™ innovation?
VOL.U.LIFT™ harnesses next generation ingredients combined with our proprietary, XOSM™ Technology. Patent-pending XOSM™ Technology boosts formula performance while protecting and nourishing skin’s barrier with antioxidants, ectoin, vitamin C and astaxanthin-rich micro-algae.
VOL.U.LIFT™ performance is supercharged by HA Silanol, a next generation hyaluronic acid combined with silicium to improve hydration, plumping the skin to restore the appearance of volume.
In addition, a non-essential amino acid, L-ornithine, visibly plumps skin, improving the appearance of sunken, deflated skin and promoting a fuller, younger-looking face.
The combination of powerful actives specifically targets loss of facial volume to effectively address GLP-1 induced skin changes.
How to use VOL.U.LIFT™ to prevent facial volume loss.
Incorporating VOL.U.LIFT™ into your weight loss journey is easy. You can add VOL.U.LIFT™ to your existing routine, or take this opportunity to amplify your results with a recommended IMAGE Skincare regimen.
How to add VOL.U.LIFT™ to an existing routine:
Apply VOL.U.LIFT™ to cleansed skin in the morning and evening, including the face, neck, and jawline.
Amplify your results with an IMAGE Skincare regimen:
In the morning and evening, cleanse with your favorite skincare cleanser best suited for your skin type and skin concerns. Follow with a high-performance serum designed to target various skin concerns. Apply VOL.U.LIFT™ GLP-1 4D Skin Rebound Complex to your face, neck, and jawline. Allow to absorb completely.
During the day, use a Daily Prevention sunscreen as the last step in your regimen. In the PM, apply a repair creme suited for your skin type.
