Ozempic and Its Influence on Facial Appearances
Ozempic, and other like GLP-1 agonist medications were primarily used for managing type 2 diabetes and now more commonly known as a weight loss miracle, can have some negative effects on facial appearance, commonly referred to as “Ozempic face.” This term denotes the changes in facial appearance due to significant weight loss, including a reduction in facial fat. This reduction can result in a more pronounced facial structure, sharper cheekbones, and a potentially more aged appearance due to the loss of natural plumpness provided by facial fat. These effects vary among individuals and depend on various factors, such as dosage and duration of medication use. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and to address any concerns regarding side effects.
What is Ozempic Face?
Think of “Ozempic face” as the changes you see in someone’s face when they’ve lost a bunch of weight. This can mean more visible lines and wrinkles, a bit of saggy skin, and cheeks that look more hollow. Basically, it can make someone look older because their face might lose some of its plumpness and smoothness.
