What to do about the Ozempic face?

Many patients report significant weight loss after using GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic®, Wegovy® or Mounjaro®.

OPERA Skin Booster: Not ready for a face lift but still want to look fresher?

OPERA concept

O – Optimization
The skin is optimized from within through intensive hydration. Dryness lines are reduced and the skin’s texture appears smoother and more even.

P – Protection
Skin Booster strengthens the skin’s protective barrier and makes it more resistant to external stress factors such as UV radiation, environmental pollution and free radicals.

E – Enhancement
The complexion is visibly improved: the skin appears fresher, plumper and more youthful – the complexion gains new radiance.

R – Regeneration
The natural regeneration of the skin is stimulated. Collagen and elastin production increase, which supports skin density and firmness in the long term.

A – Activation
Biological processes in the skin are activated and cell renewal is stimulated. The result: healthy, vital skin with a natural glow.
