The Skinny Shot Side Effect No One Talks About: Your Skin

GLP-1 medications (aka “the skinny shot”) have taken the world by storm. Celebrities are raving, people everywhere are dropping weight, and the results are inspiring. But here’s what doesn’t make it into the highlight reel: what happens to your skin after rapid weight loss.

When your body loses fat, it’s not just in the “problem areas” you were targeting. That fat loss also happens in your face, which can:

• Diminish youthful contours and fullness

• Make features look deflated or hollow

• Create skin laxity, crepiness, and changes in texture

Weight loss is an amazing accomplishment, but these changes can feel discouraging. So what can you do to restore your glow and confidence?

The Collagen Connection

When your face loses volume, it’s not just fat that disappears- collagen production slows down, too. Collagen is the protein that keeps your skin plump and resilient. Less collagen means sagging, fine lines, and an overall tired appearance.

The Game-Changer: Sculptra

Long before GLP-1s were trending, experts developed Sculptra to help patients experiencing facial fat loss due to severe illnesses like HIV. This treatment isn’t new or experimental; it’s trusted, proven, and FDA-approved.

Sculptra works by stimulating your body to rebuild its own collagen, restoring:

• Natural fullness

• Smooth skin texture

• A youthful, soft appearance

Instead of temporarily filling areas, Sculptra encourages your skin to do the work, making results long-lasting and beautifully subtle.

Bringing Back Your Confidence

Your weight loss journey is something to celebrate. If changes in your face are making you feel less like yourself, there are options. From collagen stimulators like Sculptra to tailored skincare and other treatments, we can create a plan that makes you look as vibrant as you feel.
