Lipotropic injections are a popular method for weight loss by boosting your body’s natural fat-burning processes. We offer these specialized injections at Beverly Hills-Wilshire Cosmetic Institute in Beverly Hills, CA, as part of our weight loss programs. Lipotropic injections are formulated with a combination of essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, that work together to enhance liver function and increase the metabolism of fat.
Please note that while this is an effective treatment, individual results may vary.
Stubborn body fat tends to build in regions like the hips, inner thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and neck. While exercise is often unable to resculpt these areas, lipotropic injections cause patients to reduce excess fat in these regions and more.
Lipotropic injections primarily target the liver, which metabolizes fat. These typically contain methionine, inositol, choline, and vitamin B12. These components help break down fat in the body, convert it into energy, and prevent the accumulation of excess fat in the liver. By supporting the liver’s detoxifying function and improving metabolism, these injections assist in more effective fat loss when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Lipotropic injections also come with a host of additional benefits. These include a natural increase in a patient’s thought process, healthier skin and nails, an improvement in mood, and better hair follicle growth. But there are more:
Some benefits can be more difficult to notice but are just as helpful. On an internal level, fat is removed from the liver, and the amount of water weight gained is decreased, as is the amount of cholesterol in the body. Estrogen levels are better regulated, and the risk of gallstones is lessened.
Receiving lipotropic injections is straightforward. After a consultation with Dr. Hassid, who will evaluate your health history and weight loss goals, we will create a customized plan for you. The injection itself is administered intramuscularly, typically in the arm or thigh, but other patients may opt for the hip or buttocks.
The process is quick and relatively painless, taking only a few minutes. Depending on your specific needs, injections can be administered weekly or bi-weekly. Dr. Hassid will monitor your progress and adjust the dosage for optimal results.
Most patients tolerate lipotropic injections well, but some may experience mild side effects such as redness or swelling at the injection site, mild nausea, or an upset stomach. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own.
The effects of lipotropic injections vary depending on individual metabolism and lifestyle. Generally, the energy-boosting effects of vitamin B12 can be felt within a few days, while the fat-burning effects may take a few weeks to become noticeable, especially when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
For optimal results, many patients receive lipotropic injections once a week or bi-weekly. The frequency will depend on your specific weight loss goals and your body’s response to the treatment.
Yes, lipotropic injections can be safely combined with other weight loss treatments. At Beverly Hills-Wilshire Cosmetic Institute, we often incorporate these injections into a broader weight loss plan that may include dietary changes, exercise, and other medical interventions to help you achieve your goals.
