        You had me until ozempic. Ozempic will make most people look younger, not older.

        Ozempic, like most insulin-sensitizing medications, slows aging for the vast majority of people, even if you were already totally healthy before taking it. The exception is people who have contraindications to ozempic like having thyroid cancer or kidney problems.

          Yeah I think “ozempic face” is just when people over 55 suddenly lose a bunch of weight, quickly. It looks like they have instantly aged into a mummy but it’s amazing what a little extra fat will do to smooth you out.

          plus at that point you are too old for everything to spring back into place without surgeries. not saying it won’t, but it will take time
