What Are Lipotropic Injections?
Lipotropic injections contain lipotropic factors — nutrients that support the liver’s ability to metabolize fat. “Lipotropic” means fat-loving: these compounds prevent abnormal fat accumulation in the liver by enhancing fat mobilization and export. At House of Aesthetics, the lipotropic injection is the Skinny Shot ($35) — a formulation combining three MIC compounds with B12.
B12 Injection vs Lipotropic Skinny Shot — How to Choose.
Both are $35 and take 5 minutes. The difference is the formulation — pure B12 vs B12 + MIC lipotropic compounds. Your NP will advise at your walk-in appointment.

Benefits of B12 & Lipotropic Injections.
B12: Energy & Fatigue Reduction
B12 is a critical cofactor in mitochondrial energy production. Deficiency is one of the most common overlooked causes of persistent fatigue — especially in metformin users, PPI users, and vegans. Effects felt within 24–72 hours of first injection. Monthly maintenance sustains elevated serum B12 and consistent energy levels.
B12: Neurological Function & Mental Clarity
Essential for myelin sheath synthesis — the protective coating around nerve fibers. Suboptimal B12 causes brain fog, difficulty concentrating, mood changes, tingling extremities, and progressive neurological decline. B12 injections restore optimal neurological support at near-100% absorption.
B12: Red Blood Cell Production
B12 is required for proper RBC formation. Deficiency causes megaloblastic anemia — abnormally large, dysfunctional red cells that impair oxygen delivery, producing fatigue, shortness of breath, and pallor. IM injection corrects the underlying mechanism that oral B12 often fails to address.
Lipotropic: Hepatic Fat Metabolism
The MIC compounds support the liver's ability to process and export dietary fat — the primary lipotropic action. For patients with sluggish fat metabolism, regular Skinny Shots support the hepatic fat processing that diet and exercise require for consistent results.
Lipotropic: Insulin Sensitization
Inositol is a documented insulin sensitizer — supporting glucose regulation and metabolic efficiency. Particularly beneficial for patients with insulin resistance or PCOS in weight management programs. Inositol's insulin sensitization effect is one reason patients report reduced carbohydrate cravings.
Lipotropic: Liver Health via Choline
Choline deficiency alone causes hepatic steatosis (fatty liver disease). The Skinny Shot's choline content supports liver health as a clinical benefit alongside its metabolic effects — particularly relevant for patients with fatty liver concerns or who are managing metabolic syndrome.
What to Expect — Your Injection Appointment.
Both the B12 injection and Skinny Shot take approximately 5 minutes. Walk-in friendly. No appointment or deposit required. Return to all activities immediately.
How Often to Get B12 & Lipotropic Injections.
B12 — Deficiency Correction: Weekly
For confirmed B12 deficiency or pernicious anemia: weekly injections for 4–8 weeks to saturate body stores, then monthly maintenance. Serum B12 peaks 24–48 hours post-injection and sustains elevated levels for approximately 3–4 weeks.
B12 — Wellness Maintenance: Monthly
For energy optimization and general wellness (no confirmed deficiency): monthly injections maintain consistent B12 levels. Inner Circle members receive one complimentary B12 injection per month — making monthly B12 maintenance free within the membership.
Skinny Shot — Active Weight Management: Weekly
For active weight management protocols: weekly or bi-weekly Skinny Shots. MIC lipotropic compounds are water-soluble and metabolized quickly — regular administration maintains fat metabolism and liver support effects. Most patients see measurable lipotropic results after 4 weeks of consistent weekly use.
Skinny Shot — Maintenance: Monthly
After achieving target weight or metabolic goals, monthly Skinny Shots maintain liver function and fat metabolism support. Many patients also transition to alternating B12 one month and Skinny Shot the next for broad coverage. Your NP will advise the right protocol for your goals.

Lipotropic injections are injectable formulations containing lipotropic factors — nutrients that support the liver’s fat metabolism function. At House of Aesthetics, the lipotropic injection is the Skinny Shot — MIC compounds (Methionine, Inositol, Choline) plus B12. Methionine supports hepatic fat mobilization. Inositol supports insulin signaling and fat metabolism. Choline supports phospholipid synthesis and liver fat export. B12 supports the energy metabolism that underpins all metabolic processes.
Lipotropic injections support fat metabolism and liver function — they do not directly cause weight loss on their own. The Skinny Shot adds MIC lipotropic compounds that support the metabolic processes involved in fat processing, liver health, and insulin signaling. Most patients use lipotropic injections as an adjunct to diet, exercise, and/or GLP-1 medications. Many report improved energy, reduced fatigue, better exercise capacity, and reduced carbohydrate cravings. Individual results vary significantly.
After one month of weekly lipotropic injections (4–5 shots), patients commonly report: measurably improved energy levels (often week 1), reduced afternoon fatigue, improved exercise recovery, and — combined with appropriate caloric management and exercise — more consistent weight management outcomes. Some patients report reduced carbohydrate cravings through inositol’s insulin sensitization. Lipotropic injections produce best results as part of a comprehensive protocol, not in isolation.
B12 Injection: Pure methylcobalamin B12. Best for energy, neurological health, B12 deficiency, pernicious anemia, metformin/PPI users, vegans, and general wellness. Inner Circle members receive this free monthly.
Skinny Shot — Lipotropic Injection: B12 + Methionine + Inositol + Choline. Everything the B12 injection does, plus fat metabolism support, liver function optimization, and insulin sensitization. Best for weight management programs, GLP-1 medication adjunct, and metabolic health goals.
For active weight management: weekly or bi-weekly Skinny Shots, transitioning to monthly for maintenance. MIC lipotropic compounds are water-soluble and metabolized quickly — regular administration maintains fat metabolism and liver support effects. For B12: monthly for wellness, or weekly for 4–8 weeks to correct confirmed deficiency. There is no accumulation concern with either formulation at standard injectable doses.
Yes — MIC lipotropic compounds (Methionine, Inositol, Choline) are recognized nutrients with well-characterized safety profiles. B12 is a water-soluble vitamin. Common mild side effects: injection site soreness (12–24 hours, resolves without treatment), brief warmth or flushing immediately after injection, occasional acne with regular use. Rare: mild nausea (brief, self-resolving). Serious reactions are uncommon. All injections at House of Aesthetics are administered by licensed NPs or RNs with health intake screening at every visit.
Yes — lipotropic injections and GLP-1 medications (semaglutide/Ozempic/Wegovy, tirzepatide/Mounjaro/Zepbound) work through completely different mechanisms and are commonly combined. GLP-1 medications suppress appetite and regulate glucose; lipotropic injections support fat metabolism and liver function. B12 addresses the fatigue many GLP-1 patients experience. Most patients who combine both report improved metabolic outcomes. Inform your NP of all current GLP-1 medications at intake.
