The term "Ozempic face" refers to the sagging, gaunt, aged look that some Ozempic users develop due to the loss of facial fat following drastic weight loss with the drug. Ozempic is a semaglutide, which is used to treat diabetes and has been effective for weight loss. The rapid weight loss caused by Ozempic can lead to saggy, loose facial skin, making a person look older than they actually are. This phenomenon is not specific to Ozempic and could occur with any medication or lifestyle change that results in rapid weight loss. To prevent Ozempic face, it is recommended to slow down the speed of weight loss, stay hydrated, and maintain a good protein intake while using the medication. Treatments for Ozempic face may include facial fillers, skin tightening treatments, or face-lift surgery
. The ingredients of Ozempic include semaglutide, which is a human GLP-1 receptor agonist, and the solution also contains a peptide backbone produced by yeast fermentation
