As the popularity of Ozempic and other GLP-1 weight-loss medications rises, users are experiencing a side effect called 'Ozempic face,' where rapid weight loss results in a gaunt appearance. The primary cause is not the medication itself, but the quick loss of fat and muscle, leading to skin changes such as deflation and wrinkles. This phenomenon has sparked growth in the skincare market, with new treatments and supplements catering to those affected by these effects, highlighting a growing demand for solutions to address skin elasticity and anti-aging.
"Patients on GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic often experience rapid weight loss, which leads to noticeable changes in facial skin such as deflation, deep wrinkles, dehydration and density loss."
"When fat and muscle volume drop quickly, the skin can't always bounce back, leading to a prematurely aged appearance. These skin changes are not unique to Ozempic."
