Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight has never been easier with The Skinny Shot.

Lose up to 20% of your body weight, the easy way.

My husband and I received our first Skinny Shot two months ago and I have already lost 17 pounds. Our provider at Be Youthful Aesthetics explained in great detail about how it works to make us comfortable with proceeding with this treatment option. It has honestly been one of the best decisions I’ve made because it is so easy. Our weight loss from this treatment has inspired us to start exercising and make other better decisions for our health. Dr. K monitored our progress and administered dosages based on our needs to achieve our goals. Thank you so much to the Be Youthful Team! ”

What is The Skinny Shot (GLP-1) and how does it work?

The Skinny Shot is an injectable that is used to help people lose weight. It is a version of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is produced naturally in the body when food is consumed to help control appetite and regular blood sugar levels.

In other words: the Skinny Shot ‘tricks’ your body into thinking it is full, allowing you to eat less, lose weight, without even noticing it!

Besides regular exercise, the most important aspect of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is a diet where less calories are consumed than the calories burned. The Skinny Shot makes weight loss easier than ever by reducing your appetite.
