Prescription Weight Loss Injections: What to Expect

Our Skinny Shot program uses FDA-approved GLP-1 medications that mimic naturally occurring hormones to regulate appetite, support fat loss, and promote metabolic health. These injections are typically administered weekly and are part of a structured plan that includes:

Weekly prescription weight loss injections
Monthly in-person check-ins to track progress and adjust dosing
Ongoing dietary and lifestyle counseling

Patients love that they feel fuller longer, have fewer cravings, and report feeling like they’re not “dieting” at all. Results build over time, with many seeing meaningful changes in energy, confidence, and body composition.

How The Skinny Shot Supports Surgical Outcomes

Being at or near your goal weight before procedures like liposuction, tummy tuck, or a mommy makeover leads to better results and lower complication risks. Our Skinny Shot program helps you reduce subcutaneous fat and visceral fat, which has traditionally been untouched by surgery. That’s why we often recommend this as part of a total-body plan—before, during, or after surgery.
