If you’re taking a GLP-1 medication and the scale has stopped moving, don’t panic. Plateaus are actually very common during weight loss. Here are a few reasons why it may be happening:

1. Your body has adapted
As you lose weight, your body requires fewer calories to function. What once created a calorie deficit may now be your maintenance level.

2. You’re not eating enough protein
GLP-1 medications reduce appetite, which can sometimes lead to under-eating protein. Prioritizing protein helps maintain muscle and keeps your metabolism working efficiently.

3. Lack of strength training
If you’re only relying on diet or cardio, you may lose muscle along with fat. Strength training helps preserve muscle and supports continued fat loss.

4. Your dose or treatment plan may need adjustment
Sometimes your provider may need to reassess dosage, nutrition, or lifestyle habits to help you continue progressing safely.

Plateaus are normal, but they’re also a sign to reassess your routine and optimize your approach.

Plateauing on GLP-1 medications? Here’s why it happens.

GLP-1 medications can be incredibly effective for weight loss, but many patients experience a plateau after the initial results. This doesn’t mean the medication has stopped working—it usually means your body has begun adjusting to the changes.

Common reasons for plateauing include:
• Your metabolism adapting to a lower calorie intake
• Loss of lean muscle slowing fat burning
• Not adjusting nutrition or activity as weight decreases
• Hormonal and metabolic changes over time

At Skin Suite Medspa, we focus on a whole-body approach to help patients achieve sustainable, long-term results.

If you’ve hit a plateau, it may be time to reassess your treatment plan.

Let me explain! 👇🏽✨

Jowls develop when we lose collagen and elasticity in the lower face, causing the skin around the jawline to sag. The good news is there are several treatments that can help lift, tighten, and restore structure to this area.

1. PDO Threads
PDO threads are placed under the skin to physically lift sagging tissue while stimulating collagen production. This helps tighten the jawline and improve the appearance of jowls with minimal downtime.

2. Dermal Filler
Strategically placed filler can restore lost volume in areas like the cheeks and jawline. By adding structure and support, filler helps lift the lower face and soften the appearance of jowls.

3. Sculptra
Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production over time. This gradually improves skin firmness and helps restore facial structure, making it a great option for long-term rejuvenation.

4. Skin Tightening Treatments
Treatments that stimulate collagen and tighten the skin—such as microneedling or RF-based therapies—can improve skin elasticity and reduce sagging in the lower face.

My Favorite Aesthetic Treatments & Why ✨

If you’re looking for treatments that truly transform the skin while still keeping natural, beautiful results, these are two of my personal favorites here at Skin Suite.

1. Microneedling
Microneedling is one of the best treatments for improving overall skin health. By creating tiny micro-channels in the skin, it stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production. Over time, this helps improve acne scars, fine lines, texture, enlarged pores, and overall skin tone, leaving the skin smoother, firmer, and glowing.

2. Filler + PRP
Combining dermal filler with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) gives you the best of both worlds. The filler restores volume and structure, while PRP uses your body’s own growth factors to improve skin quality, collagen production, and healing. This combination works beautifully for areas like the under eyes, smile lines, and facial balancing, giving natural-looking rejuvenation.

Here are 4 ways we treat under eye hollowness depending on the cause:

• Tear Trough Filler – Strategically placed filler restores lost volume and reduces shadowing for a brighter, well-rested appearance.

• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) – Uses your body’s own growth factors to improve skin quality, crepey texture, and mild hollowing over time.

• Midface/Cheek Filler – Sometimes the issue isn’t just under the eye. Restoring support in the midface can naturally reduce hollowing and improve overall facial balance.

• Skin Tightening or Microneedling – If thinning skin is contributing to the hollow look, collagen-stimulating treatments help strengthen and thicken the area gradually.

Not all under eye concerns are treated the same — some are volume loss, some are pigmentation, and some are structural. A proper consultation makes all the difference.

Let’s build a plan tailored to your facial anatomy.

Here are some of the most common areas we treat , and how we approach them:

• Lip Treatment – Whether you want subtle hydration or enhanced volume, lip filler can restore shape, balance, and definition while keeping results natural.

• Nasolabial Folds – The lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth can soften beautifully with dermal filler and collagen-stimulating treatments for a refreshed look.

• 11’s (Glabellar Lines) – Those vertical lines between the brows respond best to Botox to relax the muscle and prevent deep creasing over time.

• Marionette Lines – Downward lines from the corners of the mouth can create a tired appearance. Filler or facial balancing techniques help lift and soften this area.

• Jowls – Loss of collagen and volume can cause sagging along the jawline. We address this with filler, PDO threads, or skin tightening treatments to restore structure.

• Under Eye Hollowness – Tear trough filler can help reduce shadowing and restore a brighter, well-rested appearance when appropriate.

Every face is unique — which means treatment should be customized, not copied.

4 Signs You May Need a Nefertiti Lift ✨

If you’ve been staring at your side profile lately… this is for you.
1. Your jawline isn’t as sharp as it used to be
If your face and neck are starting to blend together, the platysma muscle may be pulling downward — softening your definition.
2. You notice vertical neck bands
Those lines that pop out when you talk or strain? Relaxing them with neurotoxin smooths the neck and refines the contour.
3. Your lower face looks heavier in photos
Sometimes it’s not filler you need — it’s relaxing the downward pull that’s weighing the lower face down.
4. You want lift but aren’t ready for filler or threads
The Nefertiti Lift is a non-surgical, low-downtime way to subtly sculpt and elevate the jawline and neck.

This treatment uses strategically placed Botox/Dysport along the neck and jawline to create a smoother, more defined profile. Results typically appear within 7–14 days.
