How to Tighten Loose Skin Caused by Weight Loss Injections

Understanding What Weight Loss Injections Are

You may have heard about the new trend soaring across the world right now – weight loss injections. Intriguing many, these ‘miracle’ injections are a dream for people who wish to or struggle to lose weight.

These weight loss injections – in particular Ozempic and Wegovy – were originally developed in the 1970s to help treat diabetes and reduce blood sugar levels. It was soon discovered that not only were these treatments targeting diabetes, but patients also started experiencing weight loss.

Making their way back into the limelight in 2017, and most recently in 2025, these injections have become a popular option for people looking to lose stubborn fat.

How Do Weight Loss Injections Work?

These prescription medications mimic hormones that regulate your appetite and create a feeling of fullness. By reducing calorie intake, they lead to an overall loss of body fat.

However, there is a common misconception: deciding to use these treatments does not mean you can eat anything you want. They are not a quick fix – they require a balanced, healthy lifestyle to sustain your transformation over time and achieve optimal results.

The Concern | Possible Side Effects

Like every treatment, there are possible side effects and concerns about what may happen after you invest in this type of injectable.

You may have seen videos online showing patients with sagging skin and comments about “Ozempic butt,” “Ozempic face,” or “Wegovy butt.” This after effect is not new – loose or sagging skin has been a well known side effect of rapid weight loss for years.

Healthy skin has limited elasticity and doesn’t change drastically over time. However, after significant weight loss – especially in a short time – skin can struggle to contract efficiently. This can result in sagging, aged looking skin.

Common Areas Affected by Loose Skin

Unfortunately for weight loss injection users, skin changes aren’t always in small, hidden areas. Common areas affected include:

  • Abdomen
  • Thighs
  • Upper arms
  • Face

The extent of loose skin generally depends on:

  • Amount of weight lost
  • Individual skin elasticity
  • Age
  • Genetics

Treatments for Loose or Ageing Skin

The good news? There are multiple non surgical treatments that can improve the appearance of loose or ageing skin – all available right here at Harley Skin & Laser.

Dermal fillers are injectable gels designed to restore lost volume and smooth out fine lines or wrinkles. They can help to fill hollows in the face caused by weight loss and create a more youthful, lifted appearance.

This treatment uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Over time, it helps to tighten, smooth, and rejuvenate skin that has lost firmness.

Skin boosters are injectable treatments that deliver deep hydration directly into the skin, improving elasticity, texture, and radiance. They’re ideal for restoring a healthy glow after weight loss.

Seventy Hyal is a next-generation skin booster that hydrates the skin from within, stimulates collagen production, and improves overall skin quality. It’s especially effective for crepey or dehydrated areas.

Profhilo is an advanced injectable containing one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market. It spreads beneath the skin to boost hydration and encourage natural collagen and elastin production, tightening and lifting the skin without adding volume.
