Unapplied Changes
With weight-loss injections sweeping the market, practitioners are witnessing a growing number of patients presenting with undesirable changes in their facial appearance—hollow cheeks, sagging skin, deepening lines, and a general loss of volume. Commonly referred to as Ozempic face this phenomenon often follows rapid fat loss, and has become increasingly visible among Hollywood celebrities.
In response, industry trailblazers IMAGE Skincare have unveiled their latest innovation: VOL.U.LIFT—a revolutionary new product set to change how practitioners approach weight loss related skin concerns. This advanced formula offers a simple, effective way to treat these changes and works seamlessly alongside in-clinic procedures to complement these skin concerns.
The Science Behind GLP-1
What is GLP-1?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a naturally occurring hormone released by the gut in response to food. It stimulates insulin secretion, helps regulate blood glucose levels, and signals the brain to feel full—slowing gastric emptying and helping you to feel fuller for longer.
How GLP-1 agonists work
GLP-1 agonists stimulate the receptor of this hormone, increasing insulin production and satiety. This leads to eating less – which in turn can mean restricted caloric intake, including important nutrients and protein that are critical to maintain muscle and connective tissue.
The impact on the skin
While GLP-1 agonists support healthy weight management, they can also lead to significant loss of muscle and connective tissue. This can have an impact on both the body and the face, with skin often showing:
- Reduced subcutaneous fat
- Breakdown of collagen and elastin
- Visible sagging, wrinkles, and dehydration
The solution?
According to board-certified dermatologist, Dr Raja Sivamani, “the key is to supplement a protein-based diet with topical skincare that stimulates cell activity using clinically proven ingredients to jumpstart cell function, specifically addressing mechanisms that generate collagen, strengthen the skin structure and increase hydration.”
Introducing VOL.U.LIFT
Intentionally formulated by plastic surgeon, Dr Marc Ronert, with a volumising complex plus patent-pending XOSM Technology, this multidimensional formulation works in 4D, leveraging next generation ingredients to address facial changes commonly associated with GLP-1 use, including skin deflation, deep wrinkles, dehydration and density by:
- Replenishing lost facial volume
- Helping to redistribute subcutaneous fat
- Supporting the reshaping and refinement of facial contours
"GLP-1 induced skin aging is a new phenomenon that is affecting patients in different ways. However, to date there are no targeted solutions that address the distinct range of skin concerns that accompany these treatments. This is why I developed VOL.U.LIFT, the first and only GLP-1 4D Skin Rebound Complex to combat the specific facial changes that result from GLP-1 usage, addressing the appearance of facial deflation, sagging, crepey skin texture, dehydration and wrinkles."

Key ingredients
XOSM Technology
- Propriety, patent-pending technology that boosts formula performance while protecting and nourishing the skin’s barrier with smart-encapsulated antioxidants ectoin, vitamin C and astaxanthin-rich micro-algae
- A non-essential amino acid, L-ornithine amino acid visibly plumps skin, improving the appearance of sunken, deflated skin and promoting a fuller looking face
- A powerful antioxidant known for its anti-aging and soothing benefits, bakuchiol visibly reduces lines and wrinkles, improves the appearance of skin firmness and texture quality
- Next generation hyaluronic acid combined with silicium improves hydration, plumping the skin to restore the appearance of volume
- Biomimetic to human collagen fragments, plant collagen fragments visibly lift skin, improving sagging and deflated skin
- Rich in ferulic acid and linoleic acid, Kangaroo Paw Extract helps to visibly firm skin, reducing the appearance of sagging, lines and wrinkles
Whilst VOL.U.LIFT offers an ideal topical solution for GLP-1 users, it can also be used as a preventative treatment prior to starting GLP-1 agonists, or for anyone looking to improve the appearance of facial volume loss, sagging skin and texture quality.
