What is Ozempic Butt? Dermatologist Explains Everything You Should Know
Have you seen the articles about ozempic butt? In today's video, I go into detail.
Ozempic is a drug that has been on the market primarily for the treatment of type two diabetes. Individuals with type two diabetes are not producing enough insulin to manage the sugar that is in their blood vessels from their diet.
That inappropriate storage of sugar often leads to fat accumulation, which leads to other microvascular complications can lead to blindness, neuropathy, increased risk of heart attack, stroke, all cardiovascular disease, even cancers may be at higher risk when you are at a type two diabetic level.
Individuals who are taking ozempic, they tend to eat less because they have less of an appetite. This is really good when you have type two diabetes, because those individuals can't process the food in the right way. And they have inappropriate fat accumulation and appropriate energy storage. And they're not using the sugar in the right way.
They also found that individuals who are taking this drug often lost weight from it. And so it was natural that celebrities jumped on the trend, and started to take ozempic to lose weight.

Dermatologist Reacts to Phil's My Pharmacist Tips!
Dermatologist Reacts to Phil's My Pharmacist Tips from TikTok!
Phil's My Pharmacist is a compounding pharmacist, which is not all too common these days.
Most old school pharmacies regularly did compounding: raw materials were delivered and they would mix it up for the patient right there.
There are a handful of pharmacists that continue to do this today, and I love my experience with them.
In this video, I react to three of his popular videos from TikTok and give my perspective as a dermatologist on the following topics:
-Acne Scars
-Puffy Eyes / Bags Under The Eyes
-How to reduce risk of sunburn
