“Skinny Shot” (GLP-Based Weight Loss Injections)

“Skinny Shot” is a non-medical term commonly used to describe GLP-1 & GIP injections, such as Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, when prescribed for weight management.

GLP medications:

  • Reduce Food Cravings & Control Appetite
  • Control Blood Sugar
  • Slow Gastric Emptying
  • Improve Metabolism
  • Promote Feelings of Satiety
  • Promote Weight Loss

Semaglutide

Sold under the brand names Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Rybelsus®, Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.

Semaglutide helps your body produce more insulin when your blood sugar levels are too high. It also works in the GI tract by slowing gastric motility, which means food stays in your stomach longer and prolongs the feeling of fullness.

Semaglutide is often selected for patients who:

  • Are new to GLP-1 medications
  • Prefer a well-established treatment option
  • Want a gradual, structured approach to weight management

Tirzepatide

Sold under brand names like Monjaro and Zepbound, Tirzepatide is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and weight management. It targets multiple hormonal pathways involved in appetite and glucose regulation.

The result? You feel fuller faster, and cravings are reduced. It’s a powerful option for sustainable weight loss.

Tirzepatide is often selected for patients who:

  • Have not achieved desired results with GLP-1–only therapy
  • Experience significant appetite dysregulation
  • Require a more advanced medical weight management option

Supportive Injections for Metabolic & Wellness Support

Personalized Plans

Every patient receives an individualized consultation to determine whether prescription medications, supportive injections, or lifestyle interventions may be appropriate. Treatment plans are based on:

  • Medical history

Skinny Shot FAQs

The Skinny Shot is a GLP-1-based weight loss injection such as Tirzepatide or Semaglutide used to help regulate appetite & support metabolic health.

Yes, GLP-1s have been extensively studied in clinical trials and are considered safe when monitored by a healthcare provider. 

Without insurance a GLP-1 prescription at a pharmacy can cost upwards of $1000 a month.

At CN Medical we offer 1, 3, and 6-month package pricing at a fraction of the cost of most pharmacies. We also accept flexible payment options like Cherry and CareCredit to make treatment more accessible. 

Weight loss depends on many factors, and each person responds at a different rate.

Most patients begin noticing visible weight loss within 4–6 weeks, once the body adjusts to the medication and dosing is optimized.

A weight loss rate of 1–2 pounds per week is generally considered safe and sustainable. Faster weight loss may increase the risk of muscle loss, nutritional deficiencies, or other negative outcomes, and is not reccommended. 

GLP medications help regulate appetite and metabolism. If discontinued, appetite may return to baseline and weight regain can occur.

Long-term success depends on building healthy nutrition & exercise habits while on the medication.

Many of our patients transition to a low maintenance dose or micro-dose to support metabolic function and help maintain their achieved goal weight.

Adults stuggling with weight management despite traditioinal methods of diet & exercise may benefit. A consultation is required to determine eligibility based on medical history and health goals.
