Weight Loss Injections FAQs: Everything You Need to Know

At Esthetic Solutions, we know that weight management can be challenging, and many patients are now turning to weight loss injections as a safe, effective, and medically supervised option. Below, we’ve answered the most frequently asked questions about weight loss injections to help you better understand how they work, what to expect, and whether they may be right for you.

What are the weight loss injections?

Weight loss injections are FDA-approved medications delivered via injection that support weight management by reducing appetite, regulating blood sugar, and enhancing metabolism. Popular examples include GLP-1 injections, such as: semaglutide and tirzepatide. Weight loss injections help patients lose weight by improving metabolism, and supporting long-term weight management.

How do I get weight loss injections?

To get weight loss injections, you’ll need a consultation with a licensed provider. At Esthetic Solutions, we assess your medical history, weight loss goals, and overall health before prescribing a customized treatment plan. These injections are not available over the counter—they require medical supervision to ensure safe and effective use.

How do weight loss injections work?

Weight loss injections work by targeting appetite regulation, metabolism, and how your body processes food. Many of today’s injections, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, mimic natural hormones that help control hunger, slow digestion, and improve blood sugar balance. This makes it easier to reduce calorie intake and support steady, healthy weight loss.

Do weight loss injections work?

Yes, weight loss injections do work when combined with lifestyle changes like balanced nutrition and regular activity. Clinical studies show that patients using GLP-1 medications often experience significant and sustainable weight loss compared to diet and exercise alone.

How much are weight loss injections? / How much do weight loss injections cost?

The cost of weight loss injections depends on the medication, dosage, and length of treatment. At Esthetic Solutions, we provide a personalized treatment plan and transparent pricing during your consultation. Since these injections are medically supervised, the investment includes professional guidance and ongoing monitoring.

It’s important to choose a provider with medical expertise to ensure your treatment is safe, tailored, and monitored throughout your weight loss journey. Our expert team provides medical supervision, customized dosing, and ongoing support to help you achieve safe and effective results.

Are weight loss injections safe?

Yes, weight loss injections are safe when prescribed and monitored by a qualified medical provider. At Esthetic Solutions, all functional wellness treatments are overseen by experienced professionals to ensure safety, proper dosage, and ongoing support. Side effects are generally mild and temporary, but safety always depends on individual health factors and following medical guidance.

What are the best weight loss injections?

The best weight loss injections are GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, which have shown significant success in clinical studies. The right option for you will depend on your health profile and goals, which we determine during your consultation at Esthetic Solutions.

How long can you take weight loss injections?

Most patients can take weight loss injections long-term, as ongoing use helps maintain results and prevent weight regain. Duration varies per patient and is guided by medical supervision to ensure effectiveness and safety.

What are the different types of weight loss injections?

The main types of weight loss injections include:

  • GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide and tirzepatide)

  • Vitamin and metabolic boosters (such as B-12 injections)

  • Other FDA-approved medications used for weight management under provider supervision.

Do weight loss injections hurt?

Most clients describe them as a quick, mild pinch similar to an insulin shot upon receiving weight loss injections. At Esthetic Solutions, we guide you on comfortable self-administration and provide tips to reduce any discomfort.

How effective are weight loss injections?

Weight loss injections are highly effective when combined with lifestyle changes. Studies show that GLP-1 injections can help patients lose up to 15–20% of their body weight, making them one of the most effective medical weight loss treatments available today.

What are the side effects of weight loss injections? Do weight loss injections have any side effects?

Yes, weight loss injections can have side effects, but most are mild and temporary. The most common side effects include nausea, stomach upset, constipation, diarrhea, or decreased appetite. Some patients may also experience fatigue, headaches, or mild injection site reactions such as redness or tenderness. Serious side effects are rare but can occur, which is why medical supervision is essential when starting weight loss injections. At Esthetic Solutions, our team closely monitors each client, adjusting dosage and providing guidance to minimize discomfort and ensure safe results.

For most people, the benefits of improved weight management outweigh the risks, especially when injections are part of a personalized, supervised treatment plan.

How long do weight loss injections last?

The benefits of weight loss injections last as long as you continue treatment and maintain healthy lifestyle habits. Results may diminish if treatment stops, which is why ongoing support from your provider is essential.

How often do you take weight loss injections?

Most weight loss injections are taken once weekly, although some may require daily dosing depending on the medication type. Your provider at Esthetic Solutions will create a schedule that fits your health plan.
