“Ozempic Face” is another viral beauty buzzword doing the rounds this year, but what does it really mean and how/why does it happen? In this episode of After Hours Skin Clinic, consultant dermatologists Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid break down why Ozempic and Wegovy users are seeing dramatic changes to their faces, how rapid weight loss affects skin, and what you can do to prevent or reverse it. From the science of how weight loss injections like Ozempic actually work (and what it has to do with lizards!), to why they’re being used by people who aren’t overweight, Emma and Ellie explore the full picture. They cover everything from the right way to use them to coping with the side effects. They explore the little-known benefits the drugs have on common skin conditions as well as the best cosmetic treatments to restore skin volume, With insider insights into private healthcare, prescription shortages, and the safest treatment options, this episode is everything you need to know about the pros and cons of weight loss injections and avoiding the hollowed-out look associated with “Ozempic Face.” Have any questions?
