How to Add a Body Contouring Service for GLP-1 Weight-Loss Clients

If you're considering adding body contouring to your clinic to serve GLP-1 weight-loss clients, here's a practical rundown of what's actually involved, in order.

1. Check the demand is real in your area

Nationally, GLP-1 use grew almost 10-fold between 2020 and 2025 and now sits at roughly 2% of Australian adults on a monthly dose, but local demand still depends on your area and existing client base. Start with your current clients, if you already run a skin or beauty clinic, some of them are very likely already on a GLP-1 journey. See the full GLP-1 clinic opportunity breakdown for the source and detail.

2. Choose the right technology

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-invasive option that treats stubborn fat and loose skin without needles or downtime, and one machine can cover both face and body. Compare options on our machine models page and see the 15D UltraTherapy machine if you want face and body in a single unit.

3. Get trained for this specific client group

Treating a client mid-GLP-1-journey or one who's already lost significant weight isn't the same as a standard body contouring case, settings and technique differ for an already-slim, post-weight-loss face versus stubborn body fat, as covered in our "Ozempic face" article. Make sure training covers both, it should come included with the machine, not be an extra cost.

4. Price it and model the numbers

GLP-1 clients often return across several sessions spread over months, not a single visit, factor that into your pricing and scheduling. Use our break-even calculator with your own hours, package cost and pricing to see a realistic payback timeline before committing.

5. Market it to the right client base

Be specific in how you talk about it: body contouring and skin tightening that supports a weight loss journey, not a weight-loss treatment itself. Clients researching "loose skin after weight loss" or "Ozempic face" are actively looking for a clinic that can help, see our full breakdown of the opportunity for the language and positioning that works.
