Semaglutide works by stimulating insulin release and reducing the secretion of glucagon, a hormone that increases blood glucose levels
It is also an antioxidant, and thus, works to alleviate its oxidative stress in skin, thus aiding cellular renewal, bettering skin texture and giving it a young-looking quality

Therefore, there are limited clinical trial data with semaglutide use in pregnant women
