Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Alex Kim

Sourced directly from Dr. Alex Kim's social posts and replies.

What is the 'Ozempic body' and how can it be treated?
The 'Ozempic body' is a real phenomenon resulting from rapid weight loss, characterized by volume loss in the face and stubborn loose, sagging skin around the abdomen that diet and exercise alone cannot fix. This condition is completely treatable. Dr. Kim notes that Beverly Hills patients address skin laxity with treatments including targeted skin tightening, tummy tucks, and facelifts.

How are keloid scars treated with corticosteroid injections?
Keloid scars can be painful, stubborn, and tough to clear up. Dr. Kim offers corticosteroid injections as a quick, in-office treatment performed every 3 to 4 weeks. These injections work beneath the skin surface to stop extra tissue growth, calm inflammation, flatten the scar, and target pain and itching fast. Consistency in treatment is key to seeing the best flattening results.
