What Is LJC’s Signature Skinny Shot Program?

The Signature Skinny Shot by LJCSC features medically monitored semaglutide (GLP-1) and tirzepatide (GLP-1 and GIP) injections and recommended appetite-suppressing supplements to help you achieve your weight loss goals.

Semaglutide, sold under the popular brand names Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Rybelsus®, and tirzepatide, sold under the brand names Mounjaro® and Zepbound®, mimic natural hormones that regulate blood sugar, curb appetite, and spur significant weight loss—especially when combined with our supplement regimen, regular exercise, and a healthy diet. 

Here’s how our 3-step Signature Skinny Shot program works:

1. On-Demand Orientation. Log in to join an orientation and browse our library to familiarize yourself with our program and how it works wonders on your waistline.  
2. Virtual Medical Consultation. Meet with our Skinny Shot Medical Director, Gerald Haas, MD, who will create your personalized treatment plan based on your medical history, initial bloodwork, concerns, and weight loss goals.  
3. Start Losing Weight. Once approved, begin your transformation by accessing the online portal and visiting our practice to collect your signature Skinny Shot swag (weight loss medications, recommended supplements, and program supplies). Continue to access the portal for ongoing support—from refills to guidance, check-ins, and more.

“In March of this year I began a “Skinny Shots” program through La Jolla Cosmetics. This has been a wonderful experience. After gaining weight over the past 2 years and finding it impossible to lose, I gave the Skinny Shots program a try. It has been the most successful program I could have hoped for. In less than 6 months, I have lost almost all of my excess weight. Dr. Haas who is leading the program is delightful to work with as are all the staff. Everyone is so supportive, caring and accommodating. I cannot say enough about how well this program has worked for me and I would recommend it to anyone who is struggling with weight loss.”
