What this video covers
I got a DM the other day where they shared a before and after of a friend 6 months into a GLP1 side by side. And they asked me why she looked about 10 years older despite losing close to 40 lbs. And this isn’t actually about the weight loss. It’s a specific explainable thing that’s happened to her skin.

Key points, in the speaker’s own framing
- I got a DM the other day where they shared a before and after of a friend 6 months into a GLP1 side by side.
- And if you’ve been on a GLP1 for a while or you’ve been around anyone who is, you’ve probably noticed this happening to some extent.
- OMIC face gets talked about like it’s just an unfortunate side effect.
- The benefit of increasing your dose slower isn’t just fewer side effects.
- and a slightly longer timeline that your skin can actually keep pace with is a completely reasonable thing to ask your doctor about adjusting towards.
- And I’ve spoken about protein and GLP-1s in the context of muscle before, but it also applies for a zmpic face.
