How Do Weight Loss Injections Work?
Depending on personal weight loss needs and goals, we may recommend the following lipotropic injection treatments for Frisco, TX patients:
- Skinny Shot injections combine methionine, inositol, and choline (giving them the name "MIC injections") and Vitamin B12 to help kickstart your metabolism and enhance the weight loss process. This option also helps boost your energy, detoxify your liver, keep cortisol levels low, and burn fat.
- Lean Machine injections include sermorelin, a bio-identical hormone that helps safely stimulate the natural production of growth hormone within the body. This can help to enhance energy and sleep quality, increase lean body mass, and offer an overall rejuvenating effect on your body.
These weight loss shots work in tandem with a healthy diet plan and regular exercise to help you reach your goals. We may recommend routine visits with our team to track your progress and monitor your weight loss efforts.
