I have always said it, and it often surprises people when they hear it. Skinny people do not always age well. While weight loss is incredibly beneficial for overall health, it often accelerates visible aging in the face.
As we age, the face naturally loses fat, collagen, and underlying structural support. The facial fat pads that once provided softness and contour gradually diminish and shift downward. When significant weight loss is added to this process, those changes become more pronounced, often leading to skin laxity, hollowing, and a deflated appearance, particularly in the lower face.
For those in Indianapolis, Fishers or Avon who are seeking a solution to skin sagging, jowls and crepey skin, we have found an amazing option that we call the Rejuvenation Ritual. Let me explain what it includes and why it works.
At SHarper, Morpheus8 is a long standing favorite and a cornerstone of our approach to skin tightening. It remains one of the most effective technologies available for stimulating collagen, targeting jowling and submental (under chin) fat and improving skin firmness through radiofrequency microneedling. Our team performs more Morpheus8 treatments than any other practice in the state, year after year, which has given us an unmatched level of experience in understanding who benefits most and how to optimize results. However, for patients who have experienced weight loss, tightening alone is rarely enough.
Weight loss patients often need both skin tightening and volume restoration, which requires a more thoughtful strategy. As a board certified obesity medicine physician, I have spent years studying the effects of weight loss on facial aging and refining an approach that addresses these changes comprehensively. This led to the development of what we call the SHarper Rejuvenation Ritual.
The Rejuvenation Ritual is a layered approach that is unique to SHarper. It combines skin tightening with Morpheus8 and advanced injectable techniques designed to support the skin from within. We use a biostimulant such as hyperdilute Radiesse injected as a ‘subdermal wash’, allowing fibroblasts to attach and form a collagen lattice that improves firmness and elasticity over time. This is paired with a slightly diluted hyaluronic acid filler that restores subtle volume and integrates seamlessly under the skin without adding bulk.
By addressing both structure and skin quality, the Rejuvenation Ritual creates results that look natural, balanced, and appropriate for patients who have undergone weight loss. It reflects the philosophy that defines SHarper: advanced science, deep clinical experience, and customized treatments designed to meet patients exactly where they are in their journey. We are the only practice to offer this innovative technique. To determine if you’re a candidate, schedule a complimentary consultation with us by clicking here.
