Preparation for a Lipo Slim shot

There are no specific preparation instructions to receive Lipo Slim shots. In general, blood tests may be ordered, and you may be advised to stop smoking and taking certain medications for a defined period. Your practitioner will go over all the risks and side effects of these shots and obtain an informed consent. 

​

Administration of a Lipo Slim shot

Lipo Slim shots may be administered in the arm or other regions with excess subcutaneous fatty tissues like the buttocks, thigh, or abdomen. The shots are basically pain-free apart from a stinging sensation or a little prick observed when they are administered. The shots are usually given by a medical doctor or a dietitian in weight loss clinics or medical spas for energy and fat metabolism. Your medical practitioner may likely recommend shots up to twice per week for several weeks. This may be for a couple of months at a time or until you attain your desired weight loss goal. Your physical health, activity level, and age may all be factors in determining the frequency of your treatment. When taken in conjunction with a diet and exercise plan, skinny shots may help achieve up to a 5- to 10-pound weight loss.

• Manage stress

• Exercise regularly

• Cut down sugars and processed foods
