Episode 104 – Ozempic Face: How to Avoid it and Treat it
Worried about Ozempic® face? Thinking about trying a GLP-1 medication but afraid of looking older or losing facial volume? In this episode of the HealthiHer Podcast, Dr. Amy Brenner and skincare specialist Mary Jane HusVar explain the real reason facial changes happen during weight loss and what you can do to prevent them.
