Weight Loss Injections
in Scottsdale, AZ

Scottsdale Skinny® shots refer to weight loss injections that work similarly to a popular diabetes medication like semaglutide, by regulating appetite and reducing food intake. These weekly injections help patients feel full sooner, leading to significant weight loss.

We adjust the dosages and create comprehensive programs to ensure that people lose unwanted pounds over time. Our weight loss medication can achieve impressive changes, especially if the patient combines it with a healthy diet.

Semaglutide is a new FDA-approved drug for chronic weight management. It's taken as a weekly injection and works by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1 that targets areas of the brain that reduce appetite.

Studies have shown that people using semaglutide lose significantly more weight than individuals who only diet and exercise. On average, patients lose around 15% of their mass over 2 years while taking semaglutide. Overall, this drug represents a new advancement in medical weight loss treatments.

Taking it together with lifestyle changes like improved diet and exercise may help patients lose weight even more. Semaglutide weight loss injections are provided as a standalone treatment, but patients can always combine them with lifestyle changes.

Our practice supports people through the entire weight loss journey, starting from the first pounds lost and ending with body contouring in our QUAD-accredited surgical suite. After achieving their target weight, patients can address their aesthetic concerns with cosmetic procedures to complete the transformation.
