Who wouldn't like to remove excess fat from their face and get a younger-looking, more beautiful skin? All the better if the treatment is cheap and non-surgical. A new cost-efficient laser treatment is trending these days as a solution to your skin sagging woes: Shrink wrapping.
Several people are opting for this treatment, which melts fat and tightens skin in just one hour. The shrink treatment is mainly popular among those battling the 'Ozempic face'.
What is Ozempic face?
As we age, skin sagging, loosening, and wrinkles are quite natural. The Ozempic face refers to the facial changes that happen with rapid weight loss. It is characterised by sunken cheeks, new wrinkles, and loose skin on the face and neck. Facial changes can also occur as a result of some surgeries.
Why are people opting for shrink wrapping?
Most existing treatments, such as facelift or liposuction, involve surgical procedures, which are often too expensive or intimidating for many patients to pursue. Therefore, those wanting to remove the excess fat and tighten their skin are turning to a new device called the iLaser, which 'shrink wraps' the skin without any invasive procedures.
What shrink wrapping does
It is the fascia, sheets of connective tissue that are found below the skin, that holds everything together. In the case of shrink wrapping, the lasers take these fibres, connective tissues and the layers of the face, thus leaving you with a new pair of foundations.

The device uses light to cause precise heat trauma to the skin. In the process, it sucks the fat too, which helps with the extra problem of bulge that's hanging on in specific areas.
Also, only a single session is required for the treatment. The difference is usually seen within the first week, after the compression wrap comes off, with peak results at about six months.
