A needle being prepped before injectionBikini season is almost here, are you ready?

Let’s face it, sometimes you need a little boost to lose fat and gain muscle. Sure, you’re doing everything you know to do, eating well on our program and working out, but you need a little edge.

That’s where our injections come in.

Now before you get scared, realize that these are nearly painless, and the benefits far outweigh a tiny shot.

If you work out on a regular basis, you might like our Lipo Sport. This fat burner speeds up your metabolism so you can burn more fat, and even enhances your workouts. The bonus? It’s only $40.

What if you need a little more fat burning power? There’s Lipoden ($30), which expedites the breakdown of fat during metabolism and gets it out of the body. As an added bonus, it’s promotes liver health. These are ideal twice a week at most.

And have you ever heard of L-carnitine? It’s found in things like red meat, but we all know you can’t eat too much of that due to the adverse health effects. Instead, you can get this $30 injection that serves as a natural appetite suppressant and fat burner. You can also get these up to twice a week at most.

Weight-Loss Myths Debunked

A scale with the words "lose weight now" on it

If you’ve tried to lose weight at any point in your life, you’ve no doubt seen the plethora of articles, tips, tricks, pills, and potions out there. Every time you turn around there is another study that contradicts the last one, and you hear so many “bad” words, you can’t tell what’s what. Bad carbs, bad fats, clean foods, cheat meals – it can all be so confusing!

So, we’re here to simplify things for you by debunking some common weight loss myths you may have heard out there.

Myth #1: The best way to measure your progress is with the scale.

FALSE. You could be losing muscle or water weight, not fat. The scale can go up or down by several pounds a day just from the foods you eat, how much salt you intake, hormonal changes, or because of the time of day you weigh. For example, if you eat a ton of bread, pizza and salt – you’ll no doubt be retaining a lot of water. And women especially know about the changes their bodies go through during certain times of the month, and can gain or lose several pounds in a week as a result. Sure, the scale is great for accountability, but getting your body fat measured and checking your measurements should be priority, too.

Myth#2: Only morbidly obese people need a medically supervised program.

FALSE. Anyone with at least 5 pounds to lose can benefit from our program. Think about it – aren’t you sick of the yo-yo dieting and roller coaster ride of emotions that goes along with it? If you’re not a Doctor or Nurse, Dietician or Nutritionist specializing in weight loss, you probably don’t know everything there is to losing weight and the human body. So why not trust an expert to guide you along on your journey? Click here to learn more.

Myth #3: Anyone should be able to lose weight if they just eat right and exercise.

FALSE. We do several tests to check thyroid function, glucose levels and kidney function, because sometimes healthy eating and exercising aren’t enough. Sometimes you need a little extra help, and there may be underlying issues you’re unaware of that are stalling your progress. Besides, what is healthy or clean eating? That’s such a broad, vague statement, and there are so many conflicting messages out there – it’s easy to get overwhelmed or confused.

But we are here to help.

What is hyaluronic acid?

It’s already found naturally in the human body and skin, however as we age, it decreases more and more. This is similar to how collagen and elastin break down as we age.

The facts about Botox

A woman using lip glossYou have probably heard horror stories about anti-aging surgeries and injections. You’ve likely seen the pictures and heard the testimonials. But what you need to know is that those are very rare and blown-out-of-proportion cases. And many times, they weren’t performed by a properly trained and certified technician or nurse.

So in the spirit of transparency, we’d like to educate you on what you really need to know about BOTOX, and what it can do for you to turn back the hands of time.

Over 11 million people have had a Botox treatment, and have realized that they do NOT paralyze your face muscles. This is probably the biggest misconception out there, that you won’t be able to make facial expressions – this couldn’t be further from the truth.

We want to make our patients look younger, happier and healthier – not like fake dolls with expressionless faces. You can still smile, look surprised and won’t look like you’ve had work done to your face or neck. These injections improve and soften the look of frown or smile lines, crow’s feet and wrinkles – all with no downtime.

As if that wasn’t great enough, the results have been shown to last as long as 4 months, and you can see results in as little as one week to 10 days!

This product is actually the #1 most-prescribed product of its kind in the U.S., and for good reason.

It just works.

There‘s even a 95% satisfaction rate for most patients surveyed.
