The Skinny Shot - Semaglutide and Tirzepatide Testimonials
What Is The Skinny Shot?
The Skinny Shot is a highly popular weight management solution designed to help you meet your personalized wellness goals. At Contour Dermatology, we specialize in the use of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide — more commonly known by the brand names Ozempic® and Mounjaro®.
These injectable medications were originally formulated for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide mimic the hormone GLP-1, which is secreted in the gut as a response to eating. The medications help control type 2 diabetes by prompting the body to make more insulin, which lowers blood sugar.
However, people who go on Semaglutide or Tirzepatide to treat their type 2 diabetes tend to lose weight — not a bad side effect for most of us. Better yet, research has shown that the drug has the same effect on those who don’t have diabetes.
Why? The Skinny Shot acts as an appetite suppressant by sending signals to the brain that cause you to feel fuller for longer, making it easier to stick to your wellness goals.
The Key Benefits of Semaglutide — The Skinny Shot
The Skinny Shot’s unique formula is designed to support your body’s natural metabolic processes while offering consistent fat-burning and energy-boosting benefits*, including:
- Managed cravings: The medication controls appetite by reducing hunger and cravings throughout the day.
- Weight loss: Reduced appetite means less caloric intake, promoting substantial weight loss.
- Energy boost: Some Skinny Shot formulas contain a combination of essential vitamins known for boosting energy levels.
- Safe and effective: The Skinny Shot has an excellent safety profile, especially when provided by the board-certified medical team at Contour Dermatology.
Contour’s Semaglutide Weight Loss Program
At Contour Dermatology, we want to help you reach your weight management goals safely and effectively. We provide comprehensive guidance and oversight to our Semaglutide and Tirzepatide clients.
Contour’s Semaglutide Weight Loss Program generally takes about three to six months. Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect:
- Lab work: Upon scheduling your first consultation, our front office will provide a lab slip**. Please complete your lab work beforehand, as we will review the results during your initial consultation.
- Initial consultation: Your journey begins with a 30-minute consultation with a specially trained Nurse Practitioner or Physician’s Assistant. This step allows us to establish a baseline for your overall health and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for treatment. We’ll also discuss your weight loss goals, medical history, and any conditions affecting your eligibility.
- Treatment plan: Once approved, we’ll create a personalized treatment program where you’ll learn about potential side effects and receive tailored recommendations for lifestyle and dietary changes to help maximize your results.
- Injection appointments: Your treatment plan will include weekly 15-minute injection appointments scheduled for the same day and time each week.
- Follow-up consultations: You’ll also have follow-up consultations every three months to monitor your progress. Depending on how you are doing, you may be scheduled for another set of labs.**
Am I a Good Candidate for Semaglutide Treatments?
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are both highly effective at helping our clients lose weight, but The Skinny Shot is not right for everyone. Before recommending these injectable medications, we take a detailed medical history along with lab work to assess your overall health. We also measure your body mass index (BMI) and check for any preexisting conditions.
To be a candidate for Semaglutide, you must:
- Be overweight or obese.
- Have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher.
- Have a BMI of 27 to 30 with an accompanying health condition, such as heart disease, high cholesterol or Type 2 diabetes.
As part of our Semaglutide Weight Loss Program, we tailor your dosing and adjust treatments as needed, ensuring your overall safety throughout your experience with us.
Who Is NOT a Good Candidate for Semaglutide?
When our team takes your medical history, we’ll discuss potential side effects and adverse events. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are not recommended for people with certain conditions. We will let you know if you are not a good candidate for either drug at your initial consultation.
Does The Skinny Shot Actually Work?
A number of studies have confirmed the effectiveness of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for weight loss. In one such study, 2,000 obese adults were put on the same diet and exercise regimen. One group supplemented their weight loss program with Semaglutide, while the other group did not. After 68 weeks, participants on lifestyle changes alone had lost 2.4% of their body weight. Those taking Semaglutide had much better results — half lost 15% of their body weight, and nearly a third lost 20%.*
Used in conjunction with diet and exercise, Semaglutide and Tirzepatide can help you lose weight and even reduce your risk of cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
However, these drugs are not a stand-alone solution. Studies have shown that unless people maintain their exercise program and eat healthily, they tend to regain the weight they have lost once they stop taking Semaglutide or Tirzepatide.
You should think of this medication as a way to kick-start and accelerate weight loss. You’ll need to remain diligent about working out and proper nutrition after you stop taking the medication.

** Insurance covers Semaglutide and Tirzepatide as a diabetes medication only. People who wish to use the drug to lose weight must pay out-of-pocket for the treatments and the lab work. Please consult your health insurance provider for more information on coverage. We are unable to do this for you. We use a generic version of the drug to help keep the price as low as possible.
