Looks like semaglutide patent expires in 2032. We will likely see lots of generics very soon after.

HELPS WITH drug addiction, and alcohol too, thats why big alcohol have been trying to restrict glp-1s and weed too.

Kind of feel like it's the opposite, actually. Everyone I've ever seen who uses a GLP-1 long term looks significantly aged compared to their counterparts.

Dropping the weight rapidly makes your skin sag, that could be one of the reasons. Or maybe that fluffy round cheeks just plain look younger than hollows.

A plump face always looks younger, it stretches out your skin and makes wrinkles less obvious.

Children (are supposed to) have higher proportional fat reserves than adults as a general rule, in humans the fat is partially stored in the face.

Extra fat hides wrinkles really well and loose skin gives people an aged saggy look. The latter mostly goes away with time.

You thought the prices were insane already? Now the absurdly rich control-freak assholes will monopolize supply for themselves, causing obscene pricing due to shortages just so they can stay in control a few more years.
