Why Slim Shot™ Is Different
Not all weight loss is smart weight loss. GLP-1 medications like semaglutide can be highly effective for reducing appetite and supporting weight loss. However, rapid weight loss can sometimes lead to the loss of lean muscle mass alongside body fat. That’s why the Greenwich Medical Spa Slim Shot™ Program provides patients with a more comprehensive approach to medical weight loss.
Every Slim Shot™ Membership Includes:
✓ Physician-guided medical weight loss care
✓ Comprehensive lab review and monitoring
✓ FREE Emsculpt Neo Session ($700 Value)
✓ FREE Nutrition Session with an IBG Registered Dietitian ($300 Value)
✓ Personalized nutrition guidance
✓ Muscle preservation support with FREE training and fitness sessions with select partners
✓ Ongoing progress monitoring
Our goal is simple: Help patients lose fat, preserve muscle, and create healthy habits that support long-term success.

How Semaglutide Works for Weight Loss
Semaglutide helps with weight loss by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. It slows digestion, reduces hunger, and increases feelings of fullness, leading to a natural reduction in calorie consumption. When combined with healthy lifestyle changes, semaglutide can result in significant and sustained weight loss.
Our Slim Shot™ weight loss program consists of semaglutide Wegovy injections and ongoing support that is ideal for anyone who has struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.
Patients interested in enjoying the benefits of the Slim Shot™ weight loss program will meet with our medical professionals for assessment. If you are found to be a good candidate for this program, you will simply inject Slim Shot™ semaglutide once a week. We will continue to see you regularly to monitor your progress and celebrate with you as you achieve your weight loss goals.
Get to Know the Slim Shot™ Weight Loss Program:
At GMS, Slim Shot™ semaglutide treatment is prescribed conservatively to ensure the safety of every patient. We work closely with you during the first consultation to understand your goals, ensure you are a qualified candidate, and educate you on semaglutide treatment and what you can expect during your weight loss journey.
Slim Shot™ is a comprehensive weight loss program, and we will help you set realistic expectations, as well as provide guidance and additional recommendations to help you achieve your goals.
The First Consultation
Your first consultation at Greenwich Medical Spa is where the magic begins for your weight loss journey. During this time, we’ll dive deep into your goals, qualifications, and the incredible potential of our semaglutide treatment and weight loss program. It’s our chance to get to know you and create a customized and comprehensive body confidence plan, tailored specifically for you. We’ll even take some photos before your treatment and complete your first weigh-in, so we have all the information we need to track your progress.
Once we identify you as a qualified Slim Shot candidate, we’ll move forward with ordering some lab work to assess if our semaglutide treatment is the right fit for you.
If you’ve recently had lab work done within the past 3 months, feel free to bring it with you, and we can assess it during the consultation. This will help us expedite the process, so you can start treatment sooner if you qualify.
Prescription & Treatment
Based on your assessment, we will provide your semaglutide prescription and thoroughly train you on sterile injection techniques, so you can administer your weekly injections in the comfort of your own home.
Each week, you will perform your Slim Shot semaglutide injection on the same day at home.
Monthly Visits
Once a month, we’ll schedule a check-in appointment with you at one of our GMS locations in CT, NY or virtually (if you’re not near a location that offers in-person Slim Shot visits) to ensure that you’re thriving and feeling amazing. During these visits, we’ll have the opportunity to assess your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your dosage. We’ll also closely monitor your weight loss journey to celebrate your achievements and keep you on track.
These visits will always include:
- Before & After Photos
- Weigh-In
- Dedicated time with our expert practitioner to address any concerns, discuss any changes you might be experiencing, and ask any questions you may have
We’re here to listen, support, and provide the guidance you need for a successful weight loss journey.

Am I A Slim Shot™ Candidate for Semaglutide Injections?
At Greenwich Medical Spa, our Slim Shot™ Medical Weight Loss Program is designed for individuals looking to lose weight, improve body composition, and enhance their overall health and well-being. If you are an adult with a BMI greater than 24 and have struggled with traditional weight loss methods, semaglutide injections may be an effective solution.
Unlike many weight loss programs that focus solely on the number on the scale, Slim Shot™ emphasizes fat loss, muscle preservation, nutrition, and sustainable lifestyle habits that support long-term success.
Frequently Asked Questions About Semaglutide for Weight Loss
What is Slim Shot™ ?
Slim Shot™ is a once-weekly at-home injection containing semaglutide. At GMS, we prescribe Wegovy, which is safe and FDA-approved.
How do semaglutides and GLP-1s work to help you lose weight?
Semaglutides work to hep you lose weight by slowing down the digestive process so that after eating, you feel full longer. A semaglutide suppresses appetite and cravings and lowers glucose levels. In the body, semaglutide imitates GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1), which is a natural substance produced when you eat that stops you from feeling hungry, instead creating feelings of fullness. Because a semaglutide reduces feelings of hunger, it will usually cause you to eat less. When combined with a healthy diet and exercise, a semaglutide may help you lose weight.
What are the benefits of the Slim Shot™ weight loss program?
The Slim Shot™ program leads to increased feelings of fullness and fewer cravings, which can aid in weight loss. As part of the program, you’ll experience:
• Reduced cravings and appetite
• Sustainable weight loss support
• Personalized nutrition guidance
• Muscle preservation strategies
• Increased accountability and coaching
• Improved body composition tracking
• Comprehensive support from medical and nutrition professionals
When does the Slim Shot™ semaglutide program start working for weight loss?
Within the first week of your Slim Shot™ protocol, you should start noticing increased ease in sticking to your healthy eating plan. Full effects are typically achieved around the eighth week of semaglutide injections, but with your lowered overall appetite, you can start losing weight slowly and safely right away.
Does the Slim Shot™ semaglutide injection hurt?
Slim Shot™ is injected under the skin of your thigh, stomach, or upper arm with a fine needle and causes most patients little discomfort. You will be able to self-administer your weekly shot without difficulty.
Is Slim Shot™ Semaglutide a safe weight loss program?
Semaglutides and GLP-1s are safe for most patients, and we require that you attend regular follow-up appointments with our practitioners. Following your initial consultation, you will return in six weeks, then once a month for four months, and every three months after that.
There are a variety of conditions that are contraindicated with semaglutides like Slim Shot™. We will discuss these thoroughly during your consultation and at the follow-up appointments.
Is the Slim Shot™ weight loss program a fit for everyone?
Semaglutides like Slim Shot™ are recommended for patients with a BMI > 25 who have been unsuccessful in losing weight via lifestyle interventions.
Can you lose muscle while taking semaglutide?
Yes. Rapid weight loss can result in the loss of both body fat and lean muscle mass. At Greenwich Medical Spa, we emphasize nutrition, protein intake, resistance training, and muscle preservation strategies to help patients maintain healthy muscle while losing weight.
Why is nutrition important while taking GLP-1 medications?
Proper nutrition helps support energy levels, preserve lean muscle mass, manage side effects, and improve long-term weight loss success. Every Slim Shot™ patient receives a complimentary nutrition session with a registered Dietitian.
What makes the Slim Shot™ Program different?
Slim Shot™ combines physician-guided medical weight loss with nutrition support, muscle preservation strategies, Emsculpt Neo technology, and ongoing coaching to help patients achieve healthier, more sustainable results.
