Want to Avoid Ozempic Face? There's a Cream for That.

“From her plastic surgeon perspective, Dr. Doft explains the role of skin care thusly: If you take care of your skin today, it’ll be that much better for potential surgeries, like a face lift, down the road. ‘It’s like if you have a suit from Zara and a suit from Loro Piana. You can have each beautifully tailored, but the Loro Piana suit is going to look so much better, because the fabric is so much better,’ she says. So, in the interest of preserving the skin’s quality as much as possible, she recommends ‘excellent skin care’ as well as in-office treatments to help thicken the skin when patients go on a GLP-1—usually, that’s a combination of microneedling with radiofrequency, and CO2 laser or Fraxel. […] A bottle of Dr. Doft’s retinol-, peptide-, and epidermal growth factor-powered serum Strategy by Doft New York is $300.
