Semaglutide prescriptions (like Ozempic and Tirzepatide) rose 5.65% in NC from 2023 to 2024, confirming that these injections continue to be one of the most popular treatments in aesthetics.

Nationwide, nearly ~6% of Americans are now on a prescription for these drugs, which are proven to help patients shed 15-22% of their body weight with a customized plan.

But what happens after the weight is gone? We asked the experts at Synergy Face + Body by Travis Shaw MD:

Leftover loose skin

Loose skin is a common concern for patients post-weight loss. Synergy typically recommends a combination of collagen-boosting treatments and injectables.

Rebuilding collagen

There are a growing number of treatments, including Sculptra, Sofwave, and RF Microneedling, designed to stimulate collagen production in the body. This important protein comprises up to 80% of your skin and has been shown to help naturally restore elasticity over time.

These treatments can also be used in combination with fillers to maximize results.
