If you’re ready to finally achieve your weight loss goals, we have a solution that can break through the plateau by targeting the root causes of obesity: the Skinny Shot.
The Skinny Shot is an innovative approach to weight loss that harnesses the power of GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP injections, FDA-approved medications proven to help individuals achieve sustainable weight loss. Designed for those who seek a reliable and effective solution, the Skinny Shot is more than just a temporary fix — it’s a step toward a new you and a healthier lifestyle.
¿Qué es el
¿Skinny Shot?
The Skinny Shot es un tratamiento médico para bajar de peso que usa semaglutida, el ingrediente activo de los medicamentos recetados como Ozempic y Wegovy, para ayudarlo a lograr una pérdida de peso segura y efectiva. La semaglutida, que se desarrolló originalmente para ayudar a las personas con diabetes tipo 2 a controlar con éxito sus niveles de azúcar en sangre, es un medicamento aprobado por la FDA que ha demostrado ser extraordinariamente eficaz para controlar el peso a largo plazo, especialmente cuando los métodos tradicionales no han dado resultado.
How GLP-1 Medications Promote Weight Loss
The Skinny Shot is a non-insulin medication that promotes weight loss by mimicking a hormone in the body that regulates blood sugar, food intake and appetite. Known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, these drugs activate GLP-1 receptors in the brain, sending signals that curb hunger and help you feel fuller for longer with smaller portions. GLP-1/GIP medications offer a dual-action approach by also stimulating glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors, which can be more effective in helping you lose weight.
- Delays gastric emptying, so you feel satisfied longer
- Reduces appetite and food cravings
- Improves your body’s response to insulin
The Skinny Shot is a holistic approach to health and wellness that targets the root causes of obesity and weight gain, making it easier to eat healthier, stick to a reduced-calorie diet and resist powerful food cravings, helping you reach your weight loss goals safely and effectively.

Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) shows that 42% of adults (2 in 5) are considered obese, while 30% (1 in 3) are overweight. This is worrying because obesity contributes greatly to weight-related health concerns such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, which are among the leading causes of preventable death in the United States. Excess weight can also negatively impact your self-esteem and quality of life, interfering with things like mood, mobility and normal functioning.
If you’ve tried unsuccessfully to lose weight with diet and exercise, you’re not alone. A significant number of adults struggle with excess weight or obesity. GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP medications are valuable tools that can improve your health and help you achieve and maintain meaningful weight loss.
Por lo general, se receta a pacientes que cumplen con los siguientes criterios:
- Have obesity with a BMI of 30+
- Have excess weight with a BMI of 27+ and at least one weight-related health problem, such as type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol
- Are pre-diabetic or have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
- Have high A1C levels that increase diabetes risk

Qué esperar durante el tratamiento
GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP medications are administered as a once-weekly injection beneath the skin (subcutaneously) of the abdomen, thigh or upper arm. Injection sites should be rotated regularly to reduce the risk of pain, bruising or swelling in any one area. The specific timing and dosage of your injections may be based on your unique needs, but most treatment plans follow a similar schedule:
- Starting Dose — You will begin with a starting dose, typically 0.25 mg.
- Incremental Increases — As your body adjusts to the medication, the dose will be gradually increased every four weeks for optimal results.
- Maintenance Dose — Eventually, you will achieve a maintenance dose. This is typically 2.5 mg but may vary depending on how you respond to the medication.
Throughout your weight loss journey, it’s crucial to follow all instructions provided by our team and included with your medication. This includes proper administration guidelines, injection techniques and safe disposal of used pens or needles. To ensure the best results and a treatment plan that adapts to your evolving needs, we will schedule regular follow-ups to discuss your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your dosage.

¿Veo los resultados?
Most patients using GLP-1s and GLP-1/GIPs start to see results within a few weeks of treatment. However, more visible weight loss may become apparent after 12 weeks. This is when you might feel lighter and notice that your clothes are fitting differently. With each passing month, you should experience a steady decrease in your overall body weight. The pace at which patients lose weight can vary, but the best results are achieved by combining the use of medication with healthy lifestyle changes, like a balanced diet and exercise.
GLP-1s are currently one of the most effective weight loss drugs available. While individual results may vary, many patients report losing 1-2 pounds every week. One notable study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that those using GLP-1 medications lost an average of 14.9% of their body weight over a 68-week period, compared to 2.4% for the placebo group. Other studies and clinical trials have consistently found similar results.
Are GLP-1 Medications a Sustainable Weight Loss Solution?
GLP-1 medications work by mimicking the action of GLP-1, a hormone that regulates appetite and calorie intake, which can lead to substantial weight loss. When paired with a reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity, its effects contribute to sustained weight management. However, the key to achieving long-term success is permanently adopting improved lifestyle habits and continuing to eat healthy and exercise even after treatment.
Maintaining your weight loss after weight loss injections may involve:
- Ongoing nutritional guidance
- Regular physical activity
- Behavioral support
- Continuous medical monitoring
At PURE, our goal is to set you up for long-term success and help you embrace a healthier lifestyle. Our team will work with you to ensure that you can maintain your results and avoid the rollercoaster effect often seen with fad diets, fasting and other weight loss gimmicks.
Posibles efectos secundarios
GLP-1s have been proven safe and effective for weight management. However, as with any medication, it does carry the risk of potential side effects. These are important to be aware of, even if you don’t experience them. The most reported side effects include:
- Gastrointestinal issues, such as bloating, diarrhea, vomiting and nausea
- Stomach discomfort, fullness or pain
- Temporary decrease in energy levels
- Redness, itching or redness at the injection sites
- Loose skin caused by rapid weight loss, often seen in the face or buttocks
The side effects of GLP-1 medications are typically mild and improve as your body gets used to the medication. However, rarely, serious side effects may occur. Talk to your doctor right away if you develop a fever, severe stomach pain, chills, lightheadedness, weakness, confusion or blurred vision. These may be signs of pancreatitis, hypoglycemia or an allergic reaction.
At PURE, we believe that informed patients are empowered patients. That’s why we prioritize patient education, providing you with comprehensive information about your treatment, the mechanisms of GLP-1s and GLP-1/GIPs, their benefits and potential side effects. Our resources are designed to answer your questions and help you feel confident about your treatment plan. If you have any concerns about the Skinny Shot or your results, don’t hesitate to reach out and our team will respond so you are supported throughout your weight loss journey.
