During your initial consultation you will meet with a nurse practitioner to discuss your medical history. The provider will review the medication that is right for you, explain how to works and any side affects you may experience. 

Wipe the top of the vial with an alcohol wipe. 

Draw up correct dosage prescribed in the syringe doing your best to minimize air bubbles. 

Wipe your inner thigh (the fatty part) with the same alcohol wipe where you plan to inject. 

Pinch your thigh (where you wiped) and swiftly push the needle into the skin at a 45-90 degree angle while holding the middle of the syringe and WITHOUT pushing down on the plunger. You do not want to push the medication out before the needle is in your skin. 

Once the needle is fully in your thigh, push the plunger injecting the medication into your skin. 

Wait 3 seconds before removing the needle from your thigh once you have pushed the plunger completely into the syringe.  

Apply pressure over the injection site for 5 seconds. 

MIC stands for the three ingredients it’s made up of: Methionine, Inositol, and Choline.

Methionine is an essential amino acid that acts as a lipotropic agent which: assists in the breakdown of fats within the liver; helps to lower cholesterol thereby preventing excess fat buildup in the liver and throughout your body’s circulatory system; is helpful in preventing and relieving fatigue; lowers triglycerides, and is useful in some cases of allergies by virtue of its ability to reduce histamine release.

Inositol is a lipotropic agent that helps your liver to remove fat from your body. It promotes the health of cell structures and nerve synapses; aids in the metabolism of fats; helps reduce blood cholesterol; and participates in the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to control mood and appetite.

Choline is an essential nutrient that helps to support the liver in its processing and excretion of chemical waste products. Moreover, it is required for the transport and metabolism of fats and cholesterol, which is important for the healthy support of the endocrine, cardiovascular, and hepatic systems. Choline prevents fat and cholesterol from accumulating on one part of your body and uniformly distributes this fat to various regions in the body where it can be metabolized to produce energy.

MIC is typically combined with other vitamins to synergistically enhance its fat burning abilities. These include Vitamin B12, B-complex, and L-carnitine.

Vitamin B12 is a key ingredient in so many of our bodies processes. B12 plays a significant role in the replication of DNA, the normal functioning of the nervous system, and the formation of blood cells. The vitamin B-12 injection has been shown to provide these key benefits: boosts energy and overall metabolic rate; assists in the burning of stored body fat; detoxifies the body; increases red blood cell production; maintains a healthy liver; helps regulate sleep, mood, appetite and energy; works synergistically with other nutrients to improve health; and slows aging.

"Skinny shots" are Lipo injections. They combine amino acids (MIC) with other vitamins that tell your body to burn fat for energy. 

Lipo injections can be taken weekly and work best along with a proper diet and exercise.
