As weight loss medications like GLP-1 antagonists (e.g., Ozempic) become more popular, many patients are focusing on improving their diet and overall health. This trend presents a valuable opportunity for aesthetic practices to emphasize the importance of skin nutrition. While diet and hydration are essential, proper topical nutrient delivery is equally important for maintaining healthy skin.
One key example is Vitamin C. Though beneficial when ingested, it doesn’t reach the skin in meaningful concentrations through diet alone. To reap its full benefits—such as fighting free radicals, brightening dull skin, and reducing signs of aging—Vitamin C must be applied topically. C-Stem®, a top-rated Vitamin C serum, has been clinically proven to deliver impressive results, including:
- 60% improvement in uneven skin tone and discoloration
- 60% reduction in wrinkles
- 60% boost in radiance and brightness
- 54% increase in skin elasticity
C-Stem® also contains synergistic ingredients that help reduce blemishes, enlarged pores, and redness, promoting an overall smoother, more vibrant complexion.
In addition to Vitamin C, post-biotics play a critical role in skin nutrition. Our 4-Defy Gel Cream formula combines post-biotics with barrier-strengthening ceramides, peptides, and powerful antioxidants that outperform Vitamin C in combating environmental skin damage. Key ingredients include:
- Postbiotic Complex: Nourishes the skin’s microbiome, replenishing moisture and promoting an even complexion.
- Ceramide NP: Strengthens the skin barrier, leading to a more hydrated and resilient appearance.
- Tripeptides: Clinically proven to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles while improving skin firmness and texture.
- Ergothioneine: A potent antioxidant that protects the skin from environmental stressors and reduces visible signs of aging.
As a board-certified dermatologist for over 40 years, I emphasize the importance of skincare for areas below the chin line. For these areas, Ultra Firming Neck and Chest provides all-in-one benefits, offering visible improvement with just one product. Remember, daily application of SPF is also essential for protection in these areas.
Additionally, I recommend our Revitalize + Restore Microbiome Shampoo for scalp health, particularly for those experiencing hair loss due to weight loss medications. This shampoo helps optimize the scalp microbiome, improving scalp condition and boosting hair volume. It’s a great option to combat hair thinning often seen with weight loss treatments.
Finally, many patients ask how to extend the effects of in-office treatments at home. Hydra-Firm Gel Mask delivers a topical oxygen boost that significantly improves skin elasticity. Clinical studies show a 34% increase in skin elasticity in just 4 weeks of use.
For patients using weight loss medications, focusing on the right skincare products is essential. By incorporating nutrient-rich topical products, we can help support their skin as they transform their bodies, ensuring a radiant, youthful appearance that complements their overall health journey.
