What are Weight Loss Shots?

Weight loss shots are a medical treatment designed to help reduce appetite and promote healthy weight management. These injections work by mimicking naturally occurring peptide hormones that regulate hunger and blood sugar levels. With weekly administration, the treatment helps patients feel full faster, decreases food cravings, and supports more balanced eating habits, enhancing the effectiveness of lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.

Why Choose Beck Aesthetic Surgery for Weight Loss Shots?

Dr. Beck’s highly trained team is known for combining surgical excellence with aesthetic sensitivity. With a background in reconstructive surgery, a commitment to cutting-edge medical care, and a reputation for personalized attention, we ensure your treatment plan is rooted in safety and strategy. Our weight loss approach is not only effective but also deeply tailored to your individual goals, lifestyle, and health history.

Benefits of Weight Loss Shots

  • Decreased appetite and reduced food cravings
  • Increased feeling of fullness with smaller meals
  • Enhanced insulin response and blood sugar stability
  • Support for sustained weight management
  • Boost in energy and well-being as weight decreases
  • Non-addictive treatment with minimal downtime

Am I a Good Candidate for Weight Loss Shots?

If your BMI is 30 or higher—or 27 with related health concerns like high blood pressure or Type 2 diabetes—you may be an excellent candidate for weight loss shots. Ideal candidates are those looking for medical support after other methods have not produced lasting results. During your consultation, our team will review your health background, current medications, and overall goals to create a treatment plan that’s safe and effective for your body.

What to Expect During Weight Loss Shots

Treatments are administered weekly in our Charlotte office, typically through a small, painless injection in the arm, thigh, or abdomen. Over time, the dosage may be adjusted to optimize your results. You’ll also receive expert follow-up care, including consultations with our medical team to monitor progress, adjust plans, and support your overall wellness. Our treatment packages may include skin assessments and aesthetic consultations to address potential skin laxity from weight loss.

Weight Loss Shots Recovery and Results

Most patients experience little to no downtime. Mild side effects, such as temporary digestive discomfort, may occur but are typically short-lived. You may notice a difference in appetite within the first week, with visible weight changes occurring within a few weeks. Patients often report feeling more energized and motivated as results progress. With consistent treatment, healthy eating, and regular movement, many experience transformative improvements in both health and confidence.
