First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether Sculptra, a cosmetic injectable, can improve loose skin on the belly in people taking GLP-1 weight loss medications. Twenty women with mild to moderate skin laxity will receive Sculptra injections. Fifteen are on GLP-1 drugs, and five are not, to compare results.

Active substance

Poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra Aesthetic)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a non-surgical option to tighten loose skin after weight loss from GLP-1 drugs.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 20 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and the treatment is cosmetic, not a cure.
