What’s Next After GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications? Addressing the New Reality of Rapid Weight Loss with Dr. Farah T. Sultan

As America gets thinner with the help of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, a new challenge is emerging: how to manage the side effects that come with rapid weight loss. At Vitology Wellness and MedSpa, your trusted beauty and wellness retreat in the heart of Homewood, Alabama, Dr. Farah T. Sultan is leading the conversation around what happens after the pounds come off and what you can do to feel and look your best.

The GLP-1 Era: What It Means for Your Body

GLP-1 medications have changed the landscape of weight loss. Originally designed to manage diabetes, these drugs have become household names for their ability to suppress appetite and trigger significant fat loss. But while the scale may celebrate the change, your face and body often tell a different story.
Rapid weight loss can lead to loss of muscle mass, fat, and even bone density. The result is a look commonly referred to as “Ozempic Face,” marked by facial hollowing, sagging skin, and visible signs of aging. The body can also experience skin laxity, stubborn fat pockets, and diminished tone.

Dr. Sultan’s Holistic Approach to Post-GLP Aesthetic and Wellness Care

Dr. Sultan is passionate about guiding patients through the entire GLP-1 journey, not just the initial phase of weight loss. Her approach is rooted in medical expertise, functional wellness, and aesthetic artistry. She helps clients not only lose weight safely but also restore balance and vitality afterward.

1. Precision Dosage and Nutrition Guidance

Not every patient needs a high dose of medication. Dr. Sultan works closely with patients to fine-tune their dosage and prevent excessive loss of lean body mass. At the same time, she incorporates a personalized nutrition and supplement protocol designed to preserve muscle and support metabolic health. Her focus is on fueling the body, not starving it.

2. NAD Therapy for Cellular Repair and Energy

NAD, short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, plays a critical role in energy production, DNA repair, and healthy aging. NAD therapy at Vitology Wellness helps combat fatigue, support brain health, and encourage cellular repair, which is essential when the body is under the stress of rapid weight changes.

Dr. Sultan often combines NAD with peptide support and targeted lab testing to optimize each client’s long-term outcome.

3. Aesthetic Treatments for Facial Volume Loss

To address “Ozempic Face,” Dr. Sultan recommends a combination of collagen-stimulating and volumizing treatments:

• Sculptra Aesthetic: This injectable stimulates your body’s own collagen and elastin fiber production, improving skin texture and elasticity over time. It is not an instant filler, but the results are natural and long-lasting.
• Restylane Fillers: For patients who want immediate lift and volume, Dr. Sultan offers Restylane Lyft, Contour, and Defyne. These hyaluronic acid-based fillers restore facial structure, soften deep folds, and contour the cheeks and jawline.

Together, these treatments can restore a youthful appearance without making you look overdone.

4. Non-Surgical Body Treatments for Skin Tightening and Contouring

Weight loss does not always mean a tight, toned body. To tackle loose skin and isolated fat pockets, Dr. Sultan offers advanced technology from BTL Aesthetics:

• Vanquish ME: A non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to target and shrink fat cells around the abdomen, thighs, and flanks.
• Cellutone: This device improves lymphatic drainage and helps smooth out dimpled skin, especially after weight loss.
• Exilis Ultra: A versatile skin tightening platform for both face and body, Exilis uses radiofrequency and ultrasound to firm the skin and stimulate collagen.

Each treatment is customized to the individual, often performed in combination for optimal results.

5. Body Sculpting with Sculptra

Beyond facial rejuvenation, Dr. Sultan uses Sculptra for body contouring as well. It is especially effective for:

• Enhancing hip dips
• Lifting and shaping the buttocks
• Filling in cellulite dimples
• Improving skin texture on arms, thighs, and abdomen

This natural-looking enhancement gives patients back their curves in a way that supports confidence and body harmony.
