    The Truth About "Ozempic Face" & Hair Loss | Dermatologists Explain GLP-1 Skin Side Effects

    Are weight loss injections like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy secretly destroying your skin barrier, or are they the future of treating chronic inflammation? In our premiere episode, Dr. Sam and Dr. Ryan clear up the massive cultural conversation surrounding GLP-1 medications and reveal exactly why dermatologists are prescribing them. We are looking past the mainstream weight-loss hype to explain how these medications are fundamentally repairing metabolic health—with the potential to treat everything from severe psoriasis and joint pain to Alzheimer's disease. We also give you the unvarnished medical truth you aren't getting anywhere else about the side effects. In this episode, we cover: The reality of "Ozempic Face" and why facial volume loss happens.
