In this 30-second moment from Bringing Medical Rigor to Longevity with Kay Durairaj, MD, FACS, our founder, Alex Thiersch speaks with one of the leading voices in aesthetic medicine about early clinical trial work exploring GLP-1–related facial changes. Dr. Kay shares a critical question now being studied: Can preventative treatment at the start of a GLP-1 journey stop facial fat loss before it begins—and can intervention later help reverse it once changes occur? It’s an early look at where clinical aesthetics is heading: more data, more rigor, and more responsibility in how we treat metabolic and facial aging together. This is exactly why AmSpa membership is ongoing—supporting providers as the science, regulation, and standards of care continue to evolve. 🎧 Full episode: Bringing Medical Rigor to Longevity with Dr. Kay Durairaj.
