WEIGHT loss jabs have become the latest fad for changing your appearance.
It seems as though half of Hollywood is using Ozempic in an effort to slim down.
And the trend isn’t limited to A-listers, more and more people are opting for weight loss drugs to shed some pounds.
TikTok user Bridget (@simplybridget12) shared her glow up in a viral video.
To illustrate her dramatic transformation, she included a before and after comparison.
In the first image, the TikToker showed a close up of her fuller face with rounded cheeks.
After administering Ozempic, Bridget’s face appeared slimmer, with a more defined jawline.
She turned to show her followers her now sculpted chin and sharp cheekbones.
Bridget revealed that she lost over eight stone since she began using the weight loss jab.
However, not everyone was impressed with her new slimmer-looking face.
“OMG, the Ozempic face. It’s too obvious. It looks dry, worn, and aged,” wrote one viewer.
” You will have to wait for more side effects. I’m so sorry.”
Bridget explained that haters have told her she looks closer to 60 after her weight loss.
She added that it took her a year and three months of use before she saw results.
The TikToker revealed that she felt like she had “regained” her life back.
She also shared unbothered attitude towards haters, writing: “I don’t care, I love it”.
Other followers shared their enthusiasm for the dramatic change in appearance.
Ozempic – an expert’s view
Dr Mitra Dutt, a GP from Lloyds Pharmacy Online Doctor, says: “Mounjaro works by activating two hormonal receptors (GIP and GLP-1), which enhance insulin production, improve insulin sensitivity and work to decrease food intake.”
Saxenda, which contains the active ingredient liraglutide, is another weight loss jab that’s been available on the NHS since 2020.
While Mounjaro is hailed as the “King Kong” fat jabs, a new weight loss drug dubbed “Godzilla” looks set to displace it.
Containing the active ingredient retatrutide, slimmers trying the drug lost up to 29 per cent of their weight in less than a year.
By comparison, trial results showed semaglutide, known as Ozempic, could lead to 15 per cent weight loss and tirzepatide, aka Mounjaro, to 23 per cent.
Retatrutide acts on three different receptors in the brain, “turbocharging” calorie burning while dulling hunger pangs.
Existing weight-loss jabs only suppress appetite, whereas the new treatment also speeds up metabolism.
The new drug is still undergoing clinical trials so it’s not yet known if it will be made available on the NHS.
“Wow, doesn’t even looks like the same person, I know it is, wow,” said one TikTok user.
“Sign me TF up because you look amazing.” wrote another impressed viewer.
“Jealousy, you are glowing,” commented a third supportive person.
“Everyone’s face changes after weight loss, no matter how you lose it. You look great in both pictures,” pointed out another follower.
“Wow, I know you are beyond excited, congratulations,” said one commenter.
