Weight loss can be transformative for the body, but for many people it can also bring unexpected changes to the face.
Weight loss can be transformative for the body, but for many people it can also bring unexpected changes to the face.
As medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro have become more widely discussed, so has the phrase “Ozempic face” or “Mounjaro face”. These terms are commonly used to describe the facial changes that can happen after rapid or significant weight loss, including hollowing, looser skin, softer jawline definition and a more tired or drawn appearance.
It is not necessarily the medication itself causing the change. In many cases, it is the speed and scale of weight loss. When facial fat reduces, the skin and supporting tissues can appear less firm, particularly around the cheeks, lower face and jawline. Cleveland Clinic describes “Ozempic face” as facial changes linked to rapid weight loss, including gauntness, sunken cheeks, wrinkles and loose skin on the face and neck.
This is where Profhilo Structura is becoming such an interesting treatment option.
At Beverley Alexandra, Profhilo Structura offers a more natural-looking approach for clients who are noticing facial hollowing, lower-face laxity or early jawline softening, but do not necessarily want traditional filler.
Profhilo Structura is an advanced injectable treatment from the Profhilo family, designed to support facial tissue and improve the appearance of structural ageing.
Unlike standard Profhilo, which is best known for hydration, glow and overall skin quality, Profhilo Structura is focused more on tissue support, firmness and lower-face contouring.
According to IBSA, Profhilo Structura is used in the physiological ageing process of the face, with a focus on restoring adipose tissue and supporting dermal tissue repair.
In simple terms, it is not designed to create sharp, obvious filler-style volume. Instead, it works more subtly to support the skin and underlying tissues, helping the face look fresher, firmer and more naturally restored.

When we lose weight, we do not only lose it from the body. Fat can also reduce from the face, including the cheeks, temples, under-eye area and lower face.
Facial fat plays an important role in how youthful, lifted and supported the face appears. When this support is lost quickly, the skin may not have enough time or elasticity to “bounce back”.
This can lead to:
For some clients, this can feel frustrating. They may feel healthier and more confident in their body, but less happy with the way their face has changed.
Profhilo Structura can be a good option for clients experiencing mild to moderate facial changes after weight loss, especially where the concern is linked to skin laxity, lower-face support and a loss of softness in the face.
It may be suitable for people who have noticed:
The appeal of Profhilo Structura is that it can help support and remodel the tissue without creating an overfilled or artificial look.
For clients who are worried about looking “done”, this is often one of the biggest benefits.
Traditional dermal filler is often used to replace volume, contour specific areas or add definition. It can be very effective when used carefully, but not every client wants or needs filler.
Profhilo Structura works differently.
Rather than adding obvious volume, it is designed to support the skin and underlying tissue in a more subtle way. This makes it especially appealing for clients who want a natural refresh after weight loss without changing their facial features.
The simplest way to understand the difference is:
Dermal filler restores or enhances volume.
Profhilo Structura supports tissue quality, firmness and structure.
For some clients, Profhilo Structura may be enough on its own. For others, the best result may come from combining it with strategic filler, collagen-stimulating treatments or skin tightening depending on the level of volume loss and laxity.
Profhilo Structura can help improve the appearance of the lower face and jawline when the concern is mild to moderate looseness, early jowling or loss of support.
It is not a surgical facelift and it will not give the same result as a lifting procedure. However, it can help the lower face look firmer, fresher and more supported.
For jawline concerns, it tends to work best when the issue is linked to:
If there is significant loose skin under the jaw or more advanced sagging, Profhilo Structura may still improve skin quality, but it may not be enough as a standalone treatment. In these cases, a combined treatment plan may be recommended.
Regular Profhilo and Profhilo Structura are both part of the Profhilo family, but they are used for slightly different concerns.
Regular Profhilo is often chosen for hydration, glow, elasticity and general skin quality.
Profhilo Structura is more focused on deeper structural support, facial tissue quality and lower-face contouring.
So, if your main concern is dull, dehydrated or crepey skin, regular Profhilo may be recommended.
If your main concern is facial hollowing, lower-face softening or post-weight-loss changes, Profhilo Structura may be the more suitable option.

Profhilo Structura is best thought of as a gradual, natural-looking treatment.
It is not designed to create a dramatic overnight transformation. Instead, results develop over time as the skin and tissue respond.
Clients may notice:
Results vary from person to person and depend on skin quality, age, degree of weight loss, facial structure and lifestyle.
A typical Profhilo Structura protocol often involves two sessions around four weeks apart, with results developing gradually over the following weeks.
Many clients notice improvement over 6 to 12 weeks as the treatment begins to work within the tissue.
Maintenance is usually recommended, often every 4 to 6 months, depending on your individual treatment plan and how your skin responds.
Your practitioner will advise what is suitable for you during consultation.
Sometimes, yes.
For mild to moderate laxity and early volume changes, Profhilo Structura can be a beautiful standalone option.
However, if there has been more significant facial volume loss or heavier skin laxity, the best result may come from a tailored combination of treatments. This might include:
At Beverley Alexandra, the focus is always on creating the right plan for your face, rather than simply treating a trend.
Profhilo Structura may be suitable if you:
It may not be enough on its own if you have very significant loose skin, severe volume loss or advanced sagging. This is why a consultation is so important.
At Beverley Alexandra, Profhilo Structura is offered as part of a considered, personalised approach to skin and facial rejuvenation.
This treatment is ideal for clients who want to look fresher and more supported, without looking overly filled or dramatically altered.
Whether your facial changes are linked to weight loss, ageing or a combination of both, the aim is always the same: natural-looking results that help you feel more confident in your skin.
If you are noticing facial hollowing, jawline softening or skin laxity after weight loss, Profhilo Structura may be a suitable option.
The best place to start is with a consultation, where your practitioner can assess your face, discuss your concerns and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
