What Weight Loss Injections Can Do for You

Weight loss injections are prescription medications that help regulate appetite, blood sugar, and satiety signals in the brain and gut. When combined with nutrition and movement, they can support meaningful weight reduction and improvements in waist circumference and metabolic markers. Weight loss injections can help address:

  • Persistent weight gain despite diet and exercise
  • Visceral abdominal fat that impacts health
  • Weight-related risk factors such as prediabetes
  • Difficulty maintaining weight loss after initial success

Using carefully supervised weight loss shots in Denver and Fort Collins, the goal is steady, supported progress that protects your health and your lean muscle mass.

NEO resolving chronic back pain

“I had chronic back pain before I started EmSculpt Neo treatment. I could never bend over without having a lot of pain. Now, even three months after treatment, I can move freely without issue! I can lie on the floor or the couch, do workouts, and stand for long periods of time without any back issues whatsoever. I highly recommend this treatment.”

I immediately felt comfortable

Most of my life, I was happy with my C-cup breast size. But after having four children and turning 41, my breasts were small and sagging and barely an A-cup! I made a consultation appointment with Dr. Duncan because of her 20+ years of experience, and at my initial consultation, I immediately felt comfortable. Dr. Duncan listened to me and took the time to answer all of my questions. I consulted with two other plastic surgeons, who both recommended an implant size larger than that of Dr. Duncan. I would have been very unhappy with breasts larger than I have now!! I definitely made the right choice in selecting Dr. Duncan for my breast augmentation.

Everything went smoothly and healed up great

“I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Duncan about a month and a half ago. Everything went smoothly and healed up great! I had to get a septoplasty as well with a different doctor, and she was so great with accommodating for that. Little to no bruising anywhere, just a scar where my nose was opened, but with scar cream it is fading slowly. I love my new nose!”

Experience the Expertise of a Global Aesthetic Leader

Science Driven, Not Trend Driven

Dr. Duncan closely follows clinical research on GLP-1 and GIP-based medications and understands both their benefits and limitations. Recommendations are made thoughtfully, focusing on metabolic health rather than chasing a number on the scale.

Body Composition at the Center

Because skeletal muscle drives metabolic rate, your program integrates InBody and ShapeScale measurements to monitor muscle, fat, and visceral fat. This aligns weight loss injections in Denver and Fort Collins with strategies that protect strength and long-term energy.

Integrated Support and Regenerative Tools

Your plan may include topical KineMyte, metabolic wellness guidance, and, when appropriate, body-contouring procedures once weight is stable. This integrated approach creates results that feel good medically and look natural in the mirror.

Compassionate, Clear Guidance

Our nurses and medical staff help you understand expectations, side effects, and lifestyle adjustments. Patients often describe feeling informed, supported, and never judged, even if they have struggled with weight for many years.

The Advantages of Choosing Weight Loss Injections

  • Reduced hunger and fewer cravings
  • Improved portion control and satiety
  • Support for lowering visceral abdominal fat
  • Better blood sugar regulation and metabolic markers
  • A structured framework for sustainable lifestyle change

Who Benefits Most From Weight Loss Injections?

You may be a candidate if you have a body mass index in the overweight or obese range, struggle with weight-related health concerns, and have not achieved desired results with lifestyle change alone. During your consultation, your medical history, medications, lab work, and goals are reviewed to ensure that weight loss shots in Denver and Fort Collins are both appropriate and safe for you.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation that includes body composition analysis, discussion of medical history, and clear education about how medication-assisted weight loss works. Together, you and the team decide whether injections fit your goals and lifestyle.

  1. Baseline measurements and lab work are obtained when needed.
  2. A specific injection type, dose, and schedule are selected for you.
  3. You learn how and when to administer injections or schedule in-office dosing.
  4. Nutrition, activity, and protein intake plans are reviewed to protect muscle.
  5. Follow-up visits and scans track progress and adjust dosing over time.

Recovery and Results

There is no traditional recovery period, but your body does adapt to these medications. Some patients notice temporary side effects such as nausea, a change in appetite, or digestive shifts, which often improve with dose adjustment and time.

Weight usually decreases gradually over months. Results are strongest when injections are paired with consistent nutrition habits, resistance training, and sleep support. For many patients, the combination creates a foundation for maintaining improvements even if medication is reduced later.

More About Weight Loss Injections

Weight loss injections include several categories, and the exact option is chosen based on your health, response, and goals:

  • GLP-1 agonists: Help regulate appetite and blood sugar through gut hormone pathways.
  • GIP and GLP-1 combination medications: Target multiple metabolic pathways for more robust appetite control.
  • Metabolic or vitamin support injections: May complement other therapies in selected patients.

Exploring Additional Options for Complete Rejuvenation

  • Metabolic wellness programs: Comprehensive, lifestyle-centered plans focused on body composition and metabolic markers.
  • Biometric scanning with InBody and ShapeScale: Tracks muscle, fat, and visceral fat for precise monitoring.
  • KineMyte topical serum: Supports improved body composition and muscle preservation during weight loss.
  • Body-contouring after weight loss: Surgical or non-surgical options to refine shape once weight is stable.

Weight Loss Injections Frequently Asked Questions

Will I regain weight if I stop injections?

Some regain is possible if lifestyle changes are not in place. Our focus is on building habits, protecting muscle, and creating a plan that supports you beyond the medication.

Can injections replace diet and exercise?

No. They are a tool, not a substitute. Your best results come when medication-assisted therapy is combined with nutrition, movement, and strength training tailored to your needs.

Can I use injections if I plan surgery later?

In some cases, yes. Weight loss injections may help you reach a more stable, healthy weight before body-contouring surgery. Timing and safety are evaluated individually.

Are weight loss injections covered by insurance?

Coverage varies widely. Our team can provide documentation for you to discuss with your insurer and review alternative options if coverage is limited.
