Often referred to as "Ozempic Face," this rapid depletion of deep fat pads—paired with the significant collagen drop-off during menopause—can leave the skin looking gaunt, hollowed, or sagging. At The Piazza Center, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between a healthy body and a youthful face. Our 360-degree protocol combines clinical science with aesthetic artistry to restore your structural integrity.

Understanding "The Deflation"

According to Dr. Piazza, rapid weight loss creates a "structural deficit." To fix it, we must address the Canvas (the skin surface) and the Frame (the underlying support) simultaneously.

The GLP-1 Impact: Rapid fat loss hits the medial cheek and temporal fat pads first, leading to a "sunken" appearance.
The Menopause Factor: Women can lose up to 30% of their skin’s collagen within the first five years of menopause, causing the skin "envelope" to lose its snap.

Phase 01

The Canvas

Advanced Skincare for Elasticity & Longevity

A specific protocol to signal the skin to "tighten the envelope" and restore the healthy radiance that rapid weight loss can dim.

The Menopause Essential Skinbetter Mystro™ Revive

Engineered for post-menopausal skin to improve visible quality and redness.

The Collagen Builders Alastin Restorative

TriHex Technology® clears "aged" elastin fibers so your skin produces new collagen.

The "Messenger" Serum Plated Intense Exosomes

Tells nutrient-depleted cells to behave like young cells again.

"While we rebuild the foundation in the clinic, your 'homework' is what maintains the glow. I consistently suggest a high-quality Vitamin C and Retinoid for nearly everyone. We recommend Skinbetter Alto Advanced or Revision 30% THD, paired with Skinbetter AlphaRet at night."

— Hayley Ruegg, RN, Master Injector

Phase 02

The Frame

Restoring Support & Contour with Biostimulators

Rebuilding the foundation by moving away from "spot-filling" and focusing on Full Facial Balancing—restoring support to the midface and jawline.

Our Volume Restoration Toolkit:

Sculptra®: The "gold standard" for GLP-1 volume loss. Stimulates natural collagen for a restoration that never looks "over-filled."
Supportive Dermal Fillers (Voluma®): High-density fillers that mimic the support of bone and fat pads to lift.
Neuromodulators (Botox® & Dysport®): Relaxing the "depressor" muscles to create a natural, non-surgical lift.

Note: Patient of Hayley achieved results with fillers, biostimulators and neurotoxins (NOT A GLP-1 case study).
