Dermatologist Shereene Idriss explains Ozempic face, the facial sagging that happens when people lose weight too fast on GLP-1 drugs. Slow weight loss, lower doses, and treatments like Alera or microcurrent devices can help prevent or reduce the sagging.
Ozempic face is a thing that I have seen in my practice. What is it? It's when people are taking now Ozempic or Mounjaro or these medications that make them lose weight, they lose weight rapidly. And as you get older, I've always said this from 2018, it's your face or your ass. You gotta pick. You gotta pick your face or your ass as you get older. And you can't have it both ways. And when you decide to lose the ass, your face is going to fall too. So what can you do to avoid the fall? We don't need judgment in this community. So before I get DM saying just don't take oic, people are going to do it. How can you avoid it? Going slowly, making sure you're not trying to go at the highest dose to lose the weight the fastest. And if you are going to do something in office, a tightening treatment like alera, because every 10 pounds or so your face is going to take a hit. But if you do it slower, it's going to be less of a hit. You can also be on top of it at home with like a new face device using microcurrent that can also help.
