Meta Advertising Policies

Meta Ads removed Weight Loss and Cosmetic Products and Procedures as a separate category in its Health and Wellness advertising policy, detected on July 23, 2026. Weight loss and weight gain product ads are now covered under a general Health and Wellbeing category with the same 18+ age targeting requirement. The policy also removed specific prohibitions on ads that imply negative self-perception or declare a perfect body type, replacing this language with a reference to unnamed prohibited claims outlined elsewhere in the policy.
