Abstract: Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are increasingly prescribed for obesity and type 2 diabetes, resulting in rapid or massive weight loss (MWL) that can profoundly affect facial adipose tissue (AT) and skin homeostasis
Further loss requires additional interventions while the medication works to maintain achieved results
Types of GLP-1 Medications Offered: Compounded GLP-1, generic Liraglutide, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Ozempic Accepts Insurance: No *Editors Note: Compounded GLP-1s mimic GLP-1 receptor agonists and are designed to offer similar benefits but are not FDA-approved and might come with additional risks than the FDA-approved treatments
