This results in higher levels of free, biologically active androgens, which can: Increase sebum production by sebaceous glands Promote follicular hyperkeratinisation (abnormal skin cell turnover) Contribute to the inflammatory processes underlying acne lesions When GLP-1 medications facilitate significant weight loss and improve insulin sensitivity, these hormonal disturbances may partially normalise
In recent years, the therapeutic footprint of this class has grown: long-acting agents (e.g., liraglutide, semaglutide) and next-generation dual/triple agonists (e.g., tirzepatide) have demonstrated superior glycemic control, weight reduction, and cardiovascular benefits in adults with T2DM (Yao et al., 2024)
They use the same active ingredients as their non-compounded counterparts and start from $199 a month
