Frequently Asked Questions
What is a skinny-shot?
The skinny-shot is a medication that mimics a hormone in your body called GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. It is used for weight loss and blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes.
How do skinny-shots differ from other weight loss medications?
The skinny-shot works by mimicking the effects of the GLP-1 hormone, which increases insulin secretion, slows down gastric emptying, and reduces appetite. Unlike other weight loss medications that may focus solely on appetite suppression, and offers a multi-faceted approach to weight management.
Can I take a skinny-shot for just a certain area?
The skinny-shot is an injectable medication that works systemically, meaning it affects the entire body rather than targeting specific areas. It helps reduce overall body weight by decreasing appetite and caloric intake.
How long does the procedure take?
The injection itself is quick, usually taking just a few minutes. However, the full course of treatment and its effects on weight loss can take several weeks to months, depending on individual response and goals.
We also offer Skinny-shots that you can inject at home.
Is there any downtime?
Since the skinny-shot is administered via injection, there is no downtime or recovery period needed. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the injection. Some individuals may experience mild side effects such as nausea, which usually diminish over time.
How much does the skinny-shot cost?
The pricing depends on your individual needs and goals, we recommend coming in for a free consultation to really narrow in on an exact price for your particular case!
