Why More GLP-1 Users Are Turning to Med Spa Treatments—And What to Try First

If you’ve been on a GLP-1 medication, you’ve probably already noticed that your clothes fit better, cravings are more manageable, and the scale is finally moving in the right direction. But you might have noticed a few other things: Your face looks different. Your skin feels thinner. And some areas—like under the chin or around the stomach—just aren’t responding as you’d hoped. 

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. More people on GLP-1s are turning to Med Spa services to complement their weight loss and feel more confident in their skin. Here’s why it’s happening—and what treatments you should try first. 

Weight Loss & Aesthetics: The GLP-1 Connection

GLP-1 medications mimic a natural hormone that curbs appetite, stabilizes blood sugar, and supports weight loss. But rapid or significant weight loss—especially over a short period—can lead to aesthetic changes like: 

• Loose or sagging skin 
• Facial deflation or hollowing 
• More visible wrinkles or fine lines 
• Stubborn fat deposits that won’t budge, even with diet and exercise 

These changes are normal, but they can sometimes feel frustrating after all your hard work. That’s where Med Spa treatments come in—they’re designed to address these side effects without surgery or significant downtime.

Why GLP-1 Users Are Flocking to Med Spas

Med Spa treatments are a natural next step for many on a GLP-1 journey. Here’s why:  

1. They Boost Confidence

You’ve worked hard to lose weight. Now, you want your reflection to match how great you feel. A little Botox® or filler can go a long way in helping you look more refreshed, youthful, and confident. 

2. They Target What Diet Can’t

Even with medication, some areas don’t always budge. That “last little bit” of belly fat? Or the fullness under your chin? Treatments like CoolSculpting® can help target those spots without a single crunch. 

3. They Tighten Loose Skin

Let’s be honest: skin isn’t always as snappy as we want it to be—especially after a certain age. Treatments that use radiofrequency technology give your skin a gentle lift and firm things up—no scalpel required.

Not Sure Where to Start? Try These Med Spa Favorites

Botox® for a Smoother Look

• Treatment time: 10–15 minutes 
• Results last: 3–4 months 

If weight loss has made your fine lines more noticeable, Botox® can help. It relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, leaving you looking fresh—not frozen. 

Juvéderm® to Add Volume Back  

• Treatment time: 45-60 minutes 
• Results last: 12-18 months 

Losing facial fat can make you look tired—even if you’re feeling better than ever. Juvéderm® helps bring back youthful volume to the cheeks, lips, and jawline while smoothing out folds and creases. 

CoolSculpting® for Stubborn Fat

• Treatment time: 60 minutes 
• Permanent results (with healthy habits) 

If you’ve got areas that just won’t shrink no matter how healthy you eat or how many steps you get in, CoolSculpting® might be your solution. It freezes and eliminates fat cells without surgery. Popular areas include the belly, love handles, and upper arms. 

Venus Legacy™ for a Firmer Skin 

• Treatment time: 30–60 minutes 
• Gradual results over 3–6 months 

Radiofrequency treatments like Venus Legacy™ help lift and firm areas where skin may have lost elasticity after weight loss—like your stomach, neck, or thighs. It’s a non-invasive way to tone and smooth without going under the knife.
