Ep #29 GLP-1 Weight Loss and Facial Changes: What Patients Should Know
2026-05-07 | 42 mins.
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide can drive significant weight loss, but some patients notice facial changes.

Dr. Sandy Skotnicki, Marlo, and Dr. Sasha High, an obesity medicine specialist, discuss the health impacts and facial changes from weight loss.

They explore how these medications work, why they’re so effective, and why facial changes—often called “facial deflation”—can occur due to fat loss, especially in the midface.

Listeners will learn:
How GLP-1 medications drive significant, sustained weight loss and improve overall health
Why is facial volume loss a natural consequence of weight loss, not a direct drug side effect
Which patients are more likely to notice changes (age, rate of weight loss, baseline facial structure)
The difference between superficial and deep fat loss, and why the face is often affected first
The psychological impact of looking “tired” or “aged” due to volume changes
How to approach treatment with thoughtful, conservative aesthetics using Hyaluronic acid fillers and Sculptra biostimulator and discuss the timing of these procedures

The key takeaway: GLP-1 medications can significantly improve health, but patients may experience changes in facial appearance due to fat loss. These changes are typically manageable rather than universal, and an informed, individualized approach can help address concerns about both medical and aesthetic outcomes.

Ep #28 Facial Redness 101: What’s Really Causing your Red Skin?
2026-04-23 | 30 mins.
Facial redness is incredibly common, but it has many causes. In this episode, Dr. Sandy Skotnicki and Marlo discuss these causes. They focus on rosacea, which is the most common culprit.

This episode explores different types of facial redness. They discuss why rosacea develops. Genetics, immune dysfunction, and vascular reactivity all play a role. The conversation also covers the emotional impact of visible redness and the importance of a proper diagnosis.

Listeners will learn:
How to differentiate rosacea from sun damage
The role of triggers like heat, alcohol, stress, and skincare
Why skin barrier repair is the foundation of treatment
Which ingredients (like ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid) actually help calm redness
How technologies like Bioderma’s Rosactiv™ target blood vessel reactivity
Consider medical treatments when needed. Prescription creams like brimonidine can reduce facial redness. Ivermectin can help with inflammation. Oral therapies may help persistent symptoms. In-office procedures, such as laser or light-based treatments, may also be recommended by your doctor.
The role of laser and light treatments for persistent redness

The key takeaway: Managing facial redness needs a personal approach. Combine gentle skincare, avoid your unique triggers, and seek targeted medical help for the best results.

Healthy skin begins with understanding what your redness is telling you.
