What Are Weight Loss Shots?

Weight loss shots are a category of injectable medications designed to help individuals manage weight by curbing appetite and enhancing metabolic function.

Initially developed for blood sugar regulation, these medications were found to have a secondary benefit: reducing cravings and prolonging feelings of fullness.

Administered weekly under medical supervision, weight loss shots are a powerful tool for individuals seeking to improve their health and achieve a healthier body composition.

How Do They Work?

  • Our weight loss shots interact with natural signaling pathways in the body that regulate hunger, insulin, and digestion
  • By mimicking certain hormones, they help slow gastric emptying, stabilize blood sugar levels, and trigger earlier satiety—all of which can reduce daily caloric intake
  • As a result, many patients experience steady and significant weight reduction over time
  • When integrated into a personalized plan that includes nutritional guidance, physical activity, and ongoing support, these injections can lead to a total body weight loss of up to 15% or more in eligible individuals

Am I a Good Candidate for Weight Management Shots?

You may be a candidate if you:

  • Have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher
  • Have a BMI of 27 or higher with associated health concerns (such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes)
  • Are unable to lose weight through diet and exercise alone
  • Are committed to adopting healthier habits as part of your plan
  • Are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or living with certain medical conditions

A comprehensive consultation with our expert team will include reviewing your health history, current medications, and treatment goals to determine your eligibility. Patients with a history of specific endocrine tumors or certain types of cancer may not be candidates.

What is the Treatment Process Like?

If deemed a candidate, you’ll begin with a low starting dose of weight management injections, gradually adjusted under medical supervision. The injections are typically administered once a week, either in-office or at home after appropriate instruction.

Most patients report manageable tolerability and minimal discomfort at the injection site (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm). Follow-up visits help track progress and optimize treatment plans.

Recovery and Results

There is no downtime associated with weight loss shots. Patients can resume normal activities immediately after each injection. Mild side effects, if present, may include nausea or bloating, especially during the first few weeks of dose adjustment. These effects typically resolve as your body adjusts.

Over several weeks to months, patients may notice:

  • Reduced portion sizes
  • Fewer food cravings
  • Increased energy levels
  • Visible body composition changes
  • Improved self-confidence

Results are most successful when paired with healthy lifestyle practices and regular follow-up care.
