If you’ve had weight loss due to bariatric surgery or through an intense diet and exercise regime, you may have noticed that while you can easily slip into your skinny jeans, your face and neck looks somewhat deflated and wrinkles have appeared out of nowhere.
Weight loss drastically affects the number on your scales, but what many people forget is that it also affects their face as well.
Dealing with facial changes after weight loss can lower your self-esteem, cause stress, and anxiety. But there’s no need to worry about your face. You don’t need to go under the knife either to restore your confidence.
Here are your five must-have non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments after weight loss. Even better, we offer them here at Timeless Cosmetics!
Wrinkle relaxers
When you lose a lot of weight, you can get facial wrinkles. This usually happens because the fat cells that cushion your face decrease and the chemicals in your body struggle to keep up. Wrinkle relaxers (or anti-wrinkle injections) helps restore your face’s youthful appearance by temporarily softening and smoothening the look of wrinkles and fine lines on your face and neck.
Both men and women can use wrinkle relaxers. The treatment usually takes around 15-30 minutes and the results usually last up to 4 months.
There’s no need to worry about looking frozen and not being able to smile, you can still make facial expressions after having wrinkle relaxers; you just won’t see the wrinkles. We’ve busted some more myths and misconceptions about wrinkle relaxers for you, here.
Do you want to know more about wrinkle relaxers, we also have a quick guide on everything you need to know about it here.
Dermal Fillers
Weight loss can leave your face looking saggy and deflated. This usually happens because of a lack of volume. Dermal fillers soften your face and add volume to it by hydrating and treating deep wrinkles to reduce the appearance of sagging. Some people even call it a ‘liquid facelift’!
Dermal fillers can be used on other problem areas such as your neck and hands. You may have also lost volume in your lips after weight loss. Dermal fillers can add some extra plump and firmness to them.
Dermal filler treatments take approximately 30 minutes and the results typically last for 6-12 months depending on the type of filler used and the depth injected.
You can also combine dermal fillers with wrinkle relaxers for a more polished and defined look. Read more about dermal fillers here.
Non-Surgical Double Chin Removal
There’s an assumption that by losing weight, your double chin will disappear forever. Maybe that’s what you hoped for. But you’ve lost all the weight and your double chin is still there. Maybe the fat in your double chin has reduced but you are now left with an unflattering neck?
The Non-Surgical Double Chin Removal can help you get rid of your double chin forever without going under the knife.
The injection contains the synthetic version of deoxycholic acid. Our bodies naturally make deoxycholic acid to break down dietary fat. When the injection is injected below the chin, the acid destroys the fat cells there, leaving you with a sexier and slimmer neck profile. Once fat cells are destroyed, they are gone forever!
The injection also eliminates any fat deposits in your chin so they don’t need to be sucked out through liposuction or cut out via other facial surgical procedures.
The procedure takes approximately 20-45 minutes and depending on the severity of your double chin, up to four treatments may be needed.

Fractora
Fractora improves the appearance of your wrinkles after weight loss
Do you want a treatment that improves the appearance of your wrinkles after weight loss and slows down the effects of aging?
Fractora revitalises your body’s collagen (a major structural protein in your skin) to promote the restructuring of your skin’s tissue and improve its appearance. It does this by delivering radio frequency (RF) energy through an array of pins to the sub-dermal tissue of the treatment area. The treatment kickstarts your skin’s natural repair process, removes damaged skin, and promotes new collagen growth to reduce wrinkles and slow down your aging process.
Popular places to treat are facial areas that have fine or deep wrinkles such as your cheek area or the side of your face, around your mouth, jawline, and neck.
There are three categories of treatment for Fractora: light, moderate, and deep treatments. Our cosmetic team will advise you on the best treatment for you. Treatment results are usually visible within two weeks. You can read more about Fractora here.
We recommend having Fractora done during the cooler months. Here’s why. We also have some tips to prepare you for your first Fractora treatment here!
Microdermabrasion
You know exfoliating is good for you. Why not use it to rejuvenate your skin after weight loss?
Microdermabrasion smoothens and improves your skin’s surface by exfoliating it and removing dry, dead skin cells. Doing this can reduce your fine lines, wrinkles, and lessen the appearance of scars and stretch marks!
Microdermabrasion also goes a step further. It stimulates and speeds up your body’s natural production of collagen, elastin, and fibroblast activity to improve your skin’s appearance and slow down further signs of aging due to weight loss.
Are you also passionate about your skincare? Microdermabrasion makes your moisturisers, creams, and lotions more effective by allowing them to be more easily absorbed by your skin. It also helps to improve your blood circulation as well to give you glowing skin.
