While it’s been knocking around among A-listers, elites and movie stars for a number of years, Ozempic has now become a well-known thing for helping with weight loss.

A number of celebrities have since spoken out about the impact the injectable had on their health. Ozempic’s primary purpose is actually for treating people with Type-2 diabetes and in the UK, this is all it is currently approved for on prescription.

While the drug is not currently FDA-approved for weight loss, the similar Mounjaro is available on the NHS for weight-loss treatment.

The injectables are different but do share similarities and both may potentially cause what is often referred to as ‘Ozempic face’. Aside from the obvious difference in size, this is one of the physical body changes that people say can be an indicator of using the drug.

Dr Carolina Goncalves, from Pharmica, previously told LADbible that this ‘very rare side effect’ can happen when some of the body fat lost is fat from the face.

Essentially, ‘Ozempic face’ can occur when rapid weight loss causes sagging in the cheeks and particularly around the mouth.

Dermatologist Dr Michele Green told DailyMail.com that Ozempic depletes the subcutaneous fat – the visible layer just under the skin that you can pinch.
