Semaglutide prescriptions (like Ozempic and Tirzepatide) rose 5.65% in NC from 2023 to 2024, confirming that the injections continue to be one of the most popular treatments in aesthetics — helping 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:
Leftover loose skin
Loose skin is a common concern for patients post-weight loss. Synergy typically recommends a combination of collagen-boosting treatments and targeted surgical solutions.
Rebuilding collagen
There is a growing suite 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 to maximize results.
Surgical solutions
For patients seeking a more targeted approach, Raleigh’s own Dr. Duncan Hughes offers expert surgical solutions for excess skin.
From arms and body to key areas around the face and neck, Dr. Hughes can deliver natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
