What Are Weight Loss Injections?
Weight loss injections, also known as lipotropic injections or “skinny shots,” are medical treatments designed to enhance fat burning, boost metabolism, and increase energy. At The Health & Wellness Center in St. Louis, MO, our injections contain a blend of amino acids, B12 vitamins, minerals, and peptides that support your body’s fat-processing abilities while preserving lean muscle. Administered by Dr. Secil Schodroski, these injections are ideal for patients whose diet and exercise efforts need an extra boost.
Benefits of Weight Loss Injections
Our weight loss injections offer numerous advantages to support your wellness journey:
- Accelerated Fat Burning: Lipotropic ingredients target stubborn fat deposits.

Our Weight Loss Injection Options
We offer a range of medically supervised weight loss injections tailored to your needs:

- Phentermine: A medication that reduces hunger signals by affecting brain neurotransmitters.
