How the Skinny Shot Works 

The most basic explanation of weight loss is to burn more calories than you consume. But for many, eating less can feel miserable. And that’s where our Skinny Shot comes in. It works by tricking your body into eating less and feeling full longer. That way, you can eat a modified diet, while maintaining steady exercise, and finally see results. Other benefits include: 

  • Delays how quickly the stomach digests food, so you still feel full from smaller meals 
  • Slows intestinal motility, so you feel full longer 
  • Lowers blood sugar by reducing blood sugar production in the liver 
  • Stimulates insulin secretion by the pancreas 

Skinny Shot

Artemedica’s Skinny Shot mimics your body’s appetite hormone, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which causes reduced appetite. As a result, these injections helps individuals see significant results in lowering and managing their weight, specifically for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight.

Skinny Shot PLUS

Artemedica’s Skinny Shot Plus works in the same way as our original Skinny Shot: it mimics the appetite hormone to fool your body into feeling satisfied with less food. But our Skinny Shot Plus also targets another appetite hormone, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), for greater effectiveness.

Skinny Shot MAX 

Our Skinny Shot MAX is a gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon receptor agonist that also targets the appetite hormone, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). By targeting 3 hormones instead of 1, our Skinny Shot Max works 3x as hard as our original Skinny Shot. As a result, initial studies saw patients lose up to 24.2% of their initial body weight after 48 weeks.

Skinny Shots at Artemedica 

Promising weight loss with a one-and-done injection probably sounds too good to be true, right? Absolutely. Which is why Artemedica’s Skinny Shot isn’t a one-time treatment. Instead, our Skinny Shot is a weight loss program that combines 1x weekly injections with proper diet and exercise.  

During your initial consultation, your provider will conduct a physical exam to determine whether the program is right for you. They’ll measure your height, weight, BMI (body mass index) and order blood tests. 

They’ll then create a customized treatment plan tailored specifically for your body and weight loss goals. They will also take the time to discuss the pros and cons of Skinny Shots as a treatment option, what results you can expect, and next steps so you can make a confident, well-informed decision

If you are approved for the program, you’ll be enrolled promptly and will need to visit the Artemedica clinic weekly for injections and progress check-ins.

Am I a Good Candidate for the Skinny Shot? 

Both men and women 18 years of age or older can be considered a good candidate for Artemedica’s Skinny Shot. But the best candidates will also: 

  • Have overall good health 
  • Are obese (BMI of 30 kilograms per square meter (kg/m2) or greater) or overweight (BMI of 27 kg/m2 or greater) 
  • Have at least one weight-related condition (such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol) 
  • Have a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity 
  • Not smoke or drink excessively 
  • Have realistic expectations for their results  
  • Understand the risks associated with Skinny Shot injections 

Cost of Skinny Shot Injections 

Skinny Shots are priced per month, so costs vary by patient. Your cosmetic goals will determine how many months you will need to be enrolled in the weight loss injection program. During your initial consultation, you and your injector will discuss how long you will need to be enrolled.

Alternative and Complementary Procedures at Artemedica 

Artemedica’s Skinny Shot is an excellent weight loss solution for individuals with obesity or overweight. However, it isn’t appropriate for individuals looking to lose just a couple of pounds or for those who want to target specific, stubborn fat pockets. But there are alternatives. 

CoolSculpting 

Coolsculpting is a revolutionary body contouring and fat reduction treatment that uses cryolipolysis, otherwise known as fat freezing, to freeze the fat cells in the treated area. And Artemedica was the first practice in the North Bay to offer this innovative solution.

CoolTone 

CoolTone is an innovative body contouring and muscle enhancing treatment that uses Active Magnetic Pulse stimulation to trigger muscle growth. This magnetic muscle stimulation induces powerful muscle contractions that the body could not otherwise do on its own.

EMSCULPT

EMSCULPT uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to create powerful induced muscle contractions not achievable through exercise. This results in stronger, thicker muscles and a more sculpted physique.

Kybella

Kybella uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule, to breakdown and absorb fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys these fat cells, resulting in reduced fullness under the chin.

Roderic Wallace Trusts Dr. Victor Lacombe

“Probably one of Dr. Lacombe’s greatest assets is his intuitive understanding of what it takes to create a very natural yet aesthetically pleasing result. In my case, a brow lift opened up my eyes, a subtle lift to the tip of my drooping nose dealt with the negative effects of gravity, a small chin implant balanced a newly sculpted neck and stronger jaw line… yes, a number of procedures done at one time, but oh so worth it in the long run. I can enthusiastically endorse Victor as one of the finest plastic surgeons around.*”
