In the ever-evolving world of wellness and aesthetics, people are looking for more than just surface-level solutions. They want results—real ones. Whether it’s shedding stubborn weight or restoring youthful skin, the demand for safe, effective, and sustainable treatments is at an all-time high.
Enter two of the most talked-about innovations in beauty and wellness: Skinny Shots (Semaglutide injections) and RF Microneedling. When paired, they offer a dynamic inside-out approach—helping you not only feel better but look better, too.
In this blog, we’ll break down how these two treatments work, who they’re best for, what you can realistically expect, and why they’re a perfect pairing for anyone serious about total transformation.
Why Combine Skinny Shots and RF Microneedling?
Let’s get straight to the point. Skinny shots help you from the inside—tackling weight loss, blood sugar regulation, and appetite suppression. RF Microneedling works on the outside—stimulating collagen, tightening skin, and smoothing out imperfections.
When used together, they can:
- Help you lose weight and prevent skin laxity that often comes with it
- Enhance your confidence by supporting both wellness and aesthetics
- Offer a holistic transformation—because feeling great and looking great should go hand-in-hand
What Are Skinny Shots?
Skinny shots, especially those made with Semaglutide, are FDA-approved injections originally designed to treat type 2 diabetes. However, they quickly became a game changer in medical weight loss thanks to their ability to:
- Mimic the GLP-1 hormone to reduce appetite
- Slow digestion, helping you feel fuller longer
- Promote steady, safe weight loss over time
At Prime MedSpa, our Skinny Shot program is fully personalized. We start with a medical consultation to determine if you’re a good fit, then tailor your doses and track your progress weekly to ensure safe, sustainable results.
Best for you if:
- Your BMI is 27 or higher
- You struggle with cravings or portion control
- Diet and exercise alone haven’t worked
- You’re looking for a long-term, non-surgical solution
What Is RF Microneedling?
Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling combines the collagen-inducing effects of microneedling with skin-tightening radiofrequency energy. It’s a go-to treatment for:
- Acne scars and fine lines
- Enlarged pores and uneven skin tone
- Loose or sagging skin after weight loss
- Dull, aging, or textured skin
Tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin while delivering heat deep into the layers, triggering a natural healing process that boosts collagen and elastin. The result? Firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin over time.
Best for you if:
- You’ve recently lost weight and want tighter skin
- You’re battling acne scars, wrinkles, or uneven texture
- You want noticeable results without surgery or downtime
