The Signature Skinny Shot by LJCSC features medically monitored semaglutide (GLP-1) and tirzepatide (GLP-1 and GIP) injections and recommended appetite-suppressing supplements to help you achieve your weight loss goals.

Semaglutide, sold under the popular brand names Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Rybelsus®, and tirzepatide, sold under the brand names Mounjaro® and Zepbound®, mimic natural hormones that regulate blood sugar, curb appetite, and spur significant weight loss—especially when combined with our supplement regimen, regular exercise, and a healthy diet.

Here’s how our 3-step Signature Skinny Shot program works:

Skinny Shot FAQs

Q: Am I a good candidate for the LJC Signature Skinny Shot?

A: While every Skinny Shot journey is unique, our patients treated with semaglutide or tirzepatide have experienced the following weight loss patterns, on average: Month 1 (6.6 to 10.6 pounds), Month 2 (13.8 pounds), Month 3 (18.1 pounds), and Month 4 (21.4 pounds). Our most successful Skinny Shot patients combine their medications with healthy lifestyle practices.

Q: What is included in the Skinny Shot program?

A: Some patients taking semaglutide may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, or headaches.  Most side effects can be managed and improved over time. Very rarely, pancreatitis, kidney dysfunction, or medullary thyroid cancer (animal studies only) may occur. We work with you to make your weight loss journey as easy and rewarding as possible. 

Q: I’m not comfortable with self-injections. Can I come in for weekly shots?

A: If needles make you nervous, don’t stress! Although we provide detailed written and video tutorials on how to self-inject, you can visit LJCSC for weekly onsite injections administered by our medical pros if that makes you more comfortable.

Q: Does insurance cover weight loss injections?

A: We do not accept insurance for semaglutide or tirzepatide injections. Some outside providers may accept insurance for patients with a BMI over 30 or a BMI over 27 with comorbidity. 

A: Absolutely! Our recommended supplements contain a natural extract, are 100% plant-based, and are completely free of synthetic chemicals. When paired with weight loss injections, they curb hunger pangs and help you reach your goal more quickly. For some people, they may even reduce the need to increase semaglutide dosage over time.

Q: Are appetite-suppressing supplements safe?

“In March of this year I began a “Skinny Shots” program through La Jolla Cosmetics. This has been a wonderful experience. After gaining weight over the past 2 years and finding it impossible to lose, I gave the Skinny Shots program a try. It has been the most successful program I could have hoped for. In less than 6 months, I have lost almost all of my excess weight. Dr. Haas who is leading the program is delightful to work with as are all the staff. Everyone is so supportive, caring and accommodating. I cannot say enough about how well this program has worked for me and I would recommend it to anyone who is struggling with weight loss.”
