"Ozempic is a medication in the class known as GLP-1 receptor agonist. These medications have transformed the lives of many people, especially those who struggle to lose weight, to lose body fat despite diet and exercise. In addition to their effects on weight loss, they also have a variety of other positive health effects for people. Some of those effects are secondary to the weight loss. Other positive effects are independent of the weight loss. GLP-1 receptor agonists make you not have much of an appetite, not think about food, not even really feel like eating, and make you feel full faster. That's kind of the gist of how they help with weight loss. Some people lose a lot of weight and they lose a lot of weight very quickly."

Ozempic & Hair Loss – What’s the Real Story?

"With the rise in GLP-1 receptor agonist medications for diabetes and weight loss, an increasing number of patients are finding themselves asking the question, why is my hair shedding so much? Why am I losing so much hair ever since going on these medications? These are a class of medications originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, but now they're widely used for weight loss as well. These medications work by mimicking a natural hormone that your body produces called GLP-1. This hormone works to regulate insulin, digestion, and appetite. The results, people can lose quite a bit of weight. Sometimes 10% or more of their body mass. But with that amount of weight loss, you can experience in some cases some side effects that you might not be expecting, such as an increase in the amount of hair loss."

"Ozempic is a huge thing right now and I do think that part of what we're seeing is definitely due to weight loss. But weight loss is not all of it."

"I got my mom on Ozempic and it was a game changer for her but then she did get off because she does love to eat, right, she's a live to eat person, and then immediately gained the weight back. Her knees were killing her again, all of it just started happening again. She was pre-diabetic and so she decided to go back to a new clinic and they gave her a newer medication and she feels like she's not losing the weight as fast as she did when she originally started taking it. The problem with these medications is that if you go on a medication, take a drug holiday for whatever reason, and then you restart it, they become less effective. People don't realize that. They start a medication, they stop it, they start it, they stop it, they think that they can restart at any point and have the same reaction and just as easily lose the weight. It doesn't happen. People have to be ready to make the changes and to take it seriously when they initiate these medications because it can potentially reduce the success later on."

Microdosing Ozempic? Instant BBLs? Iani Silveira, FNP-BC, Shares Celebrity Beauty Secrets

"Micro dosing Ozempic, it's dosing it to a small amount that's enough to control your hunger but not enough to create the hunger loss where you're losing hair, your lack of laxity in your skin, you're losing all this fat. I think weight loss needs to be healthy and it needs to be enough where you're seeing the results for you to start becoming healthy too. It does control that gluttonous person in our head from wanting to eat all the cookies and all the cupcakes. There's also this whole thing about how it stops inflammation in your body, which is kind of the issue that most of us have. Having a little bit of Ozempic or the semaglutide, it controls you from not wanting to eat those foods that are so inflammatory. When you overdose on something it causes diarrhea, it causes nausea, it causes headaches, dehydration. But when you micro dose it, it's not enough to take your hunger."

"Ozempic is approved as a weight loss drug but sometimes it's prescribed to individuals that are already at a good BMI but just want to lose a little bit more weight. It's naughty because people that need the drug are not getting it. What happens is if you lose vast amounts of weight in a short period of time you lose the facial fat within the face, and it seems to be the case that people that are on Ozempic or similar drugs are losing fat in their face at a faster rate than you would normally. If you lose fat in your face you end up with Ozempic face, which is a face that's a lot more aged, has more fine lines and wrinkles, and can even get droopiness in that face as well. The fat pads within the face are what hold everything into place. If you suddenly start losing fat in those compartments things start coming down and you almost have a skeletonized appearance. If you lose that volume you end up getting descent, and any skin deterioration is going to be a lot more visible when you've lost that fat. One of the tips to avoid Ozempic face is to lower your dose of Ozempic because if you're on Ozempic you're going to be on it for a very long time."
