Skinny Shot Q&A

What is the skinny shot?

Skinny shots, also called lipotropic injections, contain a mixture of B vitamins, amino acids, and other nutrients administered via an intramuscular (IM) injection. These shots support weight management and fat loss while boosting your metabolism and making it easier to eliminate excess weight.

If you’re a candidate for skinny shot injections, we can administer them as part of your medically supervised weight loss program.

What are the benefits of skinny shots?

The benefits of skinny shots include:

  • Faster weight loss
  • Reduced body fat
  • Enhanced metabolic rate
  • Improved body composition
  • Mood improvements
  • Highly effective, lasting results

The shots are simple, effective solutions that perfectly complement custom diet plans and exercise programs.

Am I a candidate for skinny shots?

If you carry excess weight or body fat, skinny shots could be the solution for you. Our team weighs you, determines your body mass index (BMI), checks your vital signs, completes a physical exam, reviews your medical history, and orders blood work and other diagnostic tests. We then tailor a medical weight loss plan that best suits you.

Authentic Balance offers personalized nutrition plans, fitness plans, erectile dysfunction (ED) treatments for men, and injections of semaglutide, tirzepatide, and vitamin B12, among several other treatments.

What should I expect when receiving skinny shots?

You receive your skinny shot in the Authentic Balance office during your regular weight loss appointments. While you might feel a tiny pinch during the injections, it lasts just a second. Our staff injects skinny shots into muscle tissues. Depending on your needs, you could receive these shots once or twice a week.

When will I notice the results of skinny shots?

You might notice the results of skinny shots within several days to weeks. Our team determines how often to administer the shots to optimize your results. You can expect to lose 1-5 pounds weekly during a medically supervised weight loss program at Authentic Balance, depending on your specific plan and how well you adhere to it.
