In our previous article, we explored the 2024 trending topic of Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy—its effectiveness, cost, and potential side effects. Today, we’ll dive into the potential impact of Wegovy on skin elasticity and recommend skincare solutions to address the sagging skin issues it may cause. Packed with essential tips, this article is a must-read for anyone considering Wegovy. 😊
How Does Wegovy Affect Skin Elasticity?
Many individuals who successfully lost over 10 kilograms using medications like Semaglutide (marketed as Ozempic), which contains the same active ingredient as Wegovy, reported significant skin sagging and signs of accelerated aging. In fact, this phenomenon has even given rise to a new buzzword: “Ozempic Face.”
What Is Ozempic Face?
“Ozempic Face” refers to the facial sagging or aging caused by Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic, a medication originally developed for type 2 diabetes. Patients often report that their facial skin appears looser and droops after using Ozempic. Experts warn that although Wegovy contains a higher dose of Semaglutide than Ozempic, both can accelerate skin aging and reduce elasticity. As a result, users are advised to proceed cautiously when considering Wegovy for weight loss.
Skin Elasticity Loss Beyond the Face
While online discussions often highlight facial sagging or changes in the buttocks, other areas such as the thighs and chest are also at risk. These regions, which may appear fuller during weight gain, often lose elasticity and look older after significant weight loss.
Dr. Oren Tepper, a plastic surgeon based in New York, explains, “Facial fat acts as a friend, maintaining a youthful plumpness. After weight loss, despite a potential biological rejuvenation, the face often appears older.”
While medications like Semaglutide (Ozempic) or Wegovy are major contributors to skin sagging, the rapid pace of weight loss itself is a key factor in reduced skin elasticity.
Alternatives to Reduce Wegovy’s Side Effects
Dr. Andrew Kraftson, an endocrinologist at the University of Michigan, advises a slower treatment approach with lower doses to minimize excessive skin sagging. Meanwhile, endocrinology expert Dr. Nate emphasizes that maintaining healthy lifestyle habits while losing weight is crucial to preventing “Ozempic Face” and “Ozempic Butt.”
Key strategies include:
- Adequate sleep
- Staying hydrated
- Maintaining skin moisture
- Regular treatments for lifting and skin tightening
These measures can help restore skin elasticity and minimize sagging.
