Ozempic & Neck Wrinkles?!

[Robin_38]

Just glanced in a storefront window and...bam! Crepey neck! I used to run a bath and body place, so I know a thing or two. Time to pull out all the stops. I thought I was drinking enough water but apparently not! Game on, neck skin!

I always say, a little extra padding keeps you looking young!

I have a fix for that!

I swear I'm getting a double chin. Part of me is grossed out, the other part is thrilled the scale is finally moving!

From what I've read, surgery is the only thing that really works for loose skin.

It's not the Ozempic, folks. It's age, genetics, and not enough fluids that are causing that. Ozempic just speeds up what was already coming.

Ugh, same here, but with my forehead. Now that some weight is gone, I have these lines that were hidden before. Can't go back now, though!

Yep, dealing with the same neck situation. My doc prescribed a strong retinoid cream last month, hoping it helps. Supposedly takes a while to see results.

What's everyone using for neck creams and serums? I'm on the hunt for some recommendations.

 

[BrookEdit]

Honestly, a neck lift is the only permanent solution. The results are incredible!

I'm not sure it's the meds causing it. We're all staring at our phones all day, creating these horizontal lines on our necks! Add weight loss and getting older, and of course, you're going to see them. I had luck with red light therapy on my forehead.

Has anyone had issues with stretch marks after losing weight? I'm worried about that.

I did get some, but I read that prescription retinoid cream can help make them fade. I'm hoping the same stuff I'm using on my neck will help with that too.

I've noticed my face looks totally different since losing about 35 pounds. Didn't expect that!

I didn't realize that would happen either. It's like I found my jawline again!

 

[Snack-Dude]

I agree with JustAF and Robin_38. Sometimes the weight loss reveals bone structure you haven't seen in years. It can make you look younger!

That great feeling of losing food thoughts — felt like a miracle — didn't last long. Maybe 6 months. Switched to Wegovy, slightly better, but food thoughts came back, just not as wild. Works great to keep me from binge eating though. Small meals fill me up fast. Never had surgery and glad I didn't.

Crepey neck from rapid weight loss is skin elasticity lagging behind the fat reduction - the supportive structure shrinks faster than collagen remodels to the new volume. GLOW and similar collagen peptides operate on a 3-6 month remodeling timeline, not 6 weeks, so the 6-week run timeline is too short to evaluate efficacy for structural change.
