So if you're losing fat from everywhere else, you're going to lose it from your face and you've got this, I think it's called the ozempic face.

Yes.

And they're trying, there's a whole marketing campaign directed towards that and they're trying to get on the front foot on their GLP ones.

You can.

It's difficult and I don't think it would be on its own.

It's certainly off-label for most of the bar stimulators, but there is some research looking at using bar stimulators and radiofrequency needling and high-focus ultrasound to treat stretch marks.

It's about trying to get, you know, a stretch mark has lost most of its elastin and collagen.

You're trying to, you know, get that back into that area.

But I don't know how successful they are.

I don't think it's a brilliant treatment, but there certainly is some research and some treatments behind that.

I would do your research on who's injecting you and make sure that they have the skill set not only to assess you properly, recommend the treatment that you need, not what your friend had but what you need.

be able to manage any sort of adverse event that is going to hopefully not occur, but they know how to deal with that.

And they're treating you holistically and it's not focused on price.

So they give you what you need, not what you want.

again, it would vary between person to person.

So some people who've had lots of sun damage and are smoking and are doing all sorts of bad things in their skin and they live in, you know, they don't wear sunscreen and they've really hammered their skin will probably start earlier than somebody who has been looking after their skin and

has had other treatments and has a good diet, reducing carbohydrate, reducing UV exposure, not smoking.

So it does vary from person to person.

Also, skin type will vary as well.

Genetics.
