Lopilato made her first guest appearance in the television series Chiquititas in 1997 at the age of 10 and then she made her debut in the television series Mi familia es un dibujo in 1998 at the age of 11, and continued working as a child model and starring in TV commercials, which is something she started at the age of 5. In 1999, she was chosen to play her first big role, Luisana Maza in Chiquititas at the age of 12, a popular television series created by Cris Morena. That role made Lopilato famous in her country.
