GLP-1 RA medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are transforming more than waistlines—they’re reshaping beauty standards and creating new challenges and opportunities in skin care. Rapid weight loss can lead to loose skin, facial volume loss, and dehydration, making professional esthetics care more important than ever.

This episode of ASCP Esty Talk explores how skin care pros can support clients through these changes with treatments that restore, tighten, and celebrate their evolving bodies.

ASCP Esty Talk with hosts Ella Cressman and Maggie Staszcuk  

Produced by Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP) for licensed estheticians, ASCP Esty Talk is a weekly podcast, hosted by licensed estheticians, Ella Cressman, ASCP Skin Deep Magazine contributor, and Maggie Staszcuk, ASCP Program Director.
