Losing weight is one of the most important things many people can do for their long-term health.
Excess body fat contributes to inflammation throughout the body and increases the risk of serious health conditions including:
- - Type 2 diabetes
- - Heart disease
- - High blood pressure
- - Fatty liver disease
- -joint problems
- - Sleep apnoea
This is why medications such as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro® have become such important tools for many patients. These GLP-1 medications can help people lose weight, improve metabolic health, reduce inflammation, and lower the risk of future illness.
At Skinfresh, we believe these medications can be extremely valuable when used appropriately. We are not anti-GLP-1 medication. In fact, for many patients they can be life-changing.
What Is "Ozempic Face"?
As more people achieve significant weight loss, many are noticing changes in their facial appearance.
The media has called this "Ozempic Face," but the reality is that these changes can occur after any substantial weight loss, whether from medication, diet, exercise, or weight-loss surgery.
When we lose body fat, we often lose facial fat too. This can result in:
- - Hollow cheeks
- - Sunken temples
- - More visible lines and folds
- - Increased skin laxity
- - A tired or gaunt appearance
Ironically, patients may be healthier than ever but feel their face no longer reflects how well they feel.
We Don't Judge — We Help
At Skinfresh, our philosophy is simple.
Health comes first.
