Supporting your skin from within In recent months, medications like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro have changed the conversation around weight loss. For many, they've been life-changing, helping people lose weight more efficiently than ever before. But there's a side of the journey that isn't talked about enough: what happens to the skin. When weight is lost quickly, the skin doesn't always keep up. It can appear looser, less firm, and in some cases, more aged - particularly around the face, neck, abdomen and arms. The arms, in particular, are often one of the first areas where people notice changes in skin firmness. It's not a failure of the treatment, it's simply biology. Skin needs time, support, and the right conditions to adapt. What many people don't realise is that timing matters. Supporting the skin while you're actively losing weight can make a significant difference to how it responds. Waiting until the end, when laxity has already developed, often means you're trying to correct rather than prevent. Muscle also plays a key role. Maintaining or building muscle during weight loss helps provide structure beneath the skin, supporting a firmer, more toned appearance. Without it, the skin has less to "hold onto." This is where modern skin and body treatments can play a valuable role. Non-surgical options such as collagen-stimulating therapies, skin tightening, and targeted body contouring treatments are designed to work alongside your weight loss journey - not after it. At Unique Skin and Body, the focus is not just on how you look after weight loss, but how you feel in your skin - every step of the way. Caring for the whole family Living and working in our regional area, the team at Bairnsdale Osteopathy gets to know families. They see babies, children, teenagers, and the parents carrying the load through the many seasons that come with it all. Motherhood is often spoken about in terms of what is given: time, energy, care. But Bairnsdale Osteopathy also like to acknowledge what is carried, both the physical and mental load. The constant, often unseen, awareness of everyone else's needs. In the clinic, they see this every day. They see babies who aren't quite comfortable after birth, or aren't sleeping well. Children navigating growth, coordination, and the bumps and knocks of everyday life. And they see parents, often running on empty, putting themselves last, and just getting on with what needs to be done. Bairnsdale Osteopathy's intention is to take the time to listen, to understand what's going on, and to gently support the body in finding its way back to balance. Because whether it's a baby, a child, or an adult, the body is always adapting. And when it's given the right support, it has a remarkable ability to settle and heal. Motherhood places unique demands on the body. Pregnancy, birth, feeding, lifting, carrying, and then the ongoing demands of daily life. These experiences don't just come and go; they can stay with us in how we move, how we feel, and how our system copes over time. Osteopathy offers a space to slow down, be listened to, and support the body at any stage of life. This Mother's Day, it might be a chance to pause and think about that, not just how much is given, but what support is needed to keep us going. As a small gesture, Bairnsdale Osteopathy is offering 25 per cent off initial osteopathic consultations with Dr Eva Morgan through May and June for those who mention this article when booking. You can get in touch via the Bairnsdale Osteopathy website or phone/text 0493 795 342. The team at Bairnsdale Osteopathy takes the time to listen to its patients and get to know the families that are visiting them. They see babies, children, teenagers and the parents that carry the load of caring for them. 10 DALMAHOY STREET, BAIRNSDALE | 0492 855 715 UNIQUESKINANDBODY.AU GIVE MUM THE GLOW SHE DESERVES Advanced HIFU skin tightening and facial sculpting Dermal Therapist | Advanced Skin & Facial Massage Specialist BOOK AN APPOINTMENT Experienced practitioners offering a gentle treatment approach for the whole family including newborns & children.
