In this video, I will share with you the science behind these “new miracle drugs” - Ozempic and Wegovy and whether you can get an unusual appearence called 'Ozempic Face'. These are both a drug called semaglutide, and work by mimicking the effects of a hormone called (GLP-1) in the body, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels and aids in weight loss.
Ozempic was given to Diabetes patients, and after reports of considerable weight loss, the same laboratory created Wegovy, the same medication but a version made for non-diabetes to lose weight. People taking Ozempic/ Wegovy have reported these Unusual symptoms:
- A hollowed-out appearance on their face
- More wrinkles and lines across, making them look older
- Loose and saggy skin
And we hear all over the media the so-called “ozempic face”. However, its more of a side effect of losing weight quickly, here is why...
When we lose weight, we start to lose the stores of fat around the body (the classic belly fat), but we also lose fat around organs and across our face. If the weight loss occurs very quickly, our skin may not have enough time to adjust to the changes in our body, causing loose, sagging skin, especially in areas where there was a lot of fat or muscle mass before the weight loss. This would occur to anyone going to a sudden loss of weight and is not linked to a specific side effect of a drug.
