Content
A beauty editor reports losing 10kg over nine months while taking Ozempic, which she says improved her health but led to cosmetic changes such as thinner hair, loss of facial fat and loose skin on the neck. Over about two years she tested a series of in-clinic procedures and at-home products to address those changes. The article describes a mix of injectable skin boosters, a multi-step neck treatment, hair restoration methods and topical skincare. Reported results varied by treatment and the author describes visible improvements in several areas.
What the article reports:
- The author lost 10kg on Ozempic (later switching to microdosing Mounjaro) and experienced thinning hair, reduced facial volume and lax neck skin alongside improved health measures.
- For the neck, she tried an injectable skin booster called Revitalis and a three-step Nécolleté treatment that the article says aimed to plump, tighten and stimulate collagen; effects are reported to last from about six months to up to 18 months.
- For hair, platelet-rich plasma did not help, an at-home Calecim stem-cell kit gave some benefit, and she underwent a hair stem-cell transplantation with 701 grafts and reports early regrowth; she was also given minoxidil.
- For dull or dehydrated skin she had Skinvive hyaluronic acid boosters and used topical products such as Vol.u.lift and a neck concentrate, which the article says improved hydration and glow.
Summary:
The article presents a first-person account of health gains from prescription weight-loss medication accompanied by cosmetic side effects, and it describes a sequence of cosmetic and topical treatments the author used to address those effects. The author reports visible improvements from several procedures; full hair regrowth is reported as expected in about nine to 12 months and the reported duration of skin treatments ranges from around six to 18 months. Undetermined at this time.
