Addressing Under-Eye Hollows, Jowls, and Ozempic Face with Dr. Pamela Kulback
At K2 Restorative Medicine and Med Spa in Trussville, Alabama
Facial volume loss is one of the most common and frustrating signs of aging. For many patients, it shows up as sunken under-eyes, sagging jowls, hollow temples, or a tired, drawn appearance. And now, with the rise of rapid weight loss from medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, even younger patients are noticing the effects of sudden facial thinning, commonly referred to as Ozempic face.
At K2 Restorative Medicine and Med Spa, Dr. Pamela Kulback offers two powerful, non-surgical solutions to restore lost volume and rejuvenate your appearance: DermaPRP Biological Filler and Sculptra. These advanced treatments are ideal for natural-looking results and long-lasting improvement in skin texture, firmness, and facial balance.
What Is DermaPRP Biological Filler?
DermaPRP is a regenerative, injectable filler created using your own blood. The process begins with a simple blood draw, from which Dr. Kulback isolates the platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a golden-colored substance rich in growth factors and healing proteins. This PRP is then processed into a thicker, gel-like consistency that mimics the behavior of traditional dermal fillers. It is injected into areas of volume loss, most commonly under the eyes, to restore fullness and improve skin quality over time.
Unlike synthetic fillers, DermaPRP is 100 percent natural and biologically compatible with your body. It works by stimulating your own collagen production and tissue regeneration, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Why the Under-Eye Area Needs Special Attention
The under-eye area is one of the first places to show signs of aging. As collagen and fat decrease, the skin under the eyes becomes thinner and more translucent, making hollowing, puffiness, and dark circles more noticeable.
DermaPRP is especially effective for:
- Improving the appearance of under-eye bags
- Reducing hollowing or tear trough volume loss
- Brightening dark circles caused by thin, crepey skin
- Tightening and firming loose or aging tissue in the lower eyelid area
Because DermaPRP is derived from your own cells, there is no risk of allergic reaction, and the result is a very natural, refreshed look that is not puffy or overfilled.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a unique, biostimulatory injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid, a compound that helps stimulate your body to produce collagen. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that provide immediate plumping, Sculptra works gradually. Over a period of weeks to months, it rebuilds the skin’s underlying structure by triggering the natural collagen-building process. Dr. Kulback uses Sculptra to treat areas of moderate to severe volume loss in the:- Midface and cheeks
- Lower face, including jowls and marionette lines
- Jawline and chin
- Temples and sides of the face
What Is Ozempic Face?
Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications have changed the weight loss game for many people, but they come with a tradeoff. Rapid weight loss can lead to facial volume loss, especially in areas where fat naturally cushions the face, like the cheeks, temples, and jawline. The result can be a gaunt or sagging appearance that makes you look older, even though your body is healthier. This is commonly referred to as Ozempic face, and it affects both men and women. Common complaints include:- Sunken cheeks
- Hollow temples
- Loose skin along the jawline
- Increased appearance of jowls
- Fine lines around the mouth and nasolabial folds
Combining DermaPRP and Sculptra for Full-Face Rejuvenation
While DermaPRP is excellent for delicate areas like the under-eyes, Sculptra shines when it comes to deeper tissue restoration. Dr. Kulback often combines these two treatments to achieve a full-face rejuvenation that restores natural proportions and supports the skin from within. In the case of our featured patient, Dr. Kulback used DermaPRP to fill and smooth under-eye hollows and reduce visible bags. She then used Sculptra along the jawline and lower face to address sagging, soften jowls, and restore youthful facial definition. The result is a refreshed, lifted, and natural transformation that does not rely on synthetic filler or surgery.

Real Results: Before and After Transformation
These before and after photos speak for themselves. This patient came to Dr. Pamela Kulback looking to improve under-eye hollows and lift sagging along the jawline. Using DermaPRP biological filler under the eyes and Sculptra in the lower and midface, Dr. Kulback achieved a refreshed, natural-looking transformation.
In the before photos, the under-eye area appears hollow and shadowed, and there is visible skin laxity along the jawline. In the after images, the eyes look smoother and more awake, while the cheeks and jawline appear lifted, fuller, and better defined. Her overall expression looks brighter, softer, and more youthful, without any signs of puffiness or artificial volume.
This is a powerful example of how regenerative injectables like DermaPRP and Sculptra can work together to restore natural beauty and facial balance in a subtle but significant way.
