Lipo shots, fat burning injections, and MIC injections are some of the most asked-about tools in medical weight loss at our Miami Lakes, FL clinic. If you’ve seen them on social media or heard a friend mention them, you probably want to know what they really do — and what they don’t.

At Miami Lakes Med Spa, Dr. Sabrina Gonzalez, DNP, APRN and Medical Director Dr. John Serpa, MD use these shots as part of a bigger plan. That plan often includes GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy with semaglutide or tirzepatide, smart nutrition, and steady movement. The shots are a support, not a shortcut.

This guide breaks down what’s inside the syringe, who benefits most, what results look like, and how the shots fit with Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and other medical weight management options.

What Are Lipo Shots and MIC Injections?

Lipo shots are intramuscular injections that mix several nutrients linked to fat metabolism. The classic blend is called MIC — short for methionine, inositol, and choline. Most formulas also add B vitamins, including B12, for energy support.

Here’s what each ingredient does in plain terms:

• Methionine: An amino acid that helps the liver process fats.
• Inositol: A sugar-like compound that supports how cells use insulin and handle fat.
• Choline: A nutrient your liver needs to move fat out of cells.
• B12 and B-complex: Vitamins tied to energy, mood, and red blood cell health.

Together, these support the systems your body already uses to burn fat. They don’t melt fat on their own. Think of them as oil for the engine — useful only if the engine is running.

What Lipo Shots Can Actually Do

When paired with a real weight loss plan, fat burning injections may help in a few clear ways. Patients across Miami Lakes, Hialeah, Miami Gardens, Miramar, Pembroke Pines, and Doral often report these benefits:

• More steady energy. The B12 component can lift fatigue, especially if your levels run low.
• Better workout consistency. Feeling less tired makes it easier to walk, lift, or hit the gym.
• Support for liver fat processing. Choline and methionine give your liver building blocks to handle dietary fat.
• A weekly anchor for accountability. Coming in for your shot keeps your plan top of mind.

For many patients on semaglutide or tirzepatide, the shots round out a complete metabolic optimization plan. The GLP-1 medication handles appetite. The shot supports energy and liver function. Diet and movement do the rest.

What MIC Injections Cannot Do

Honesty matters here. There’s a lot of hype online, and we want you to set the right expectations before your first visit.

Lipo shots do not:

• Burn fat in a specific spot. You can’t target your belly or thighs with a shot.
• Replace a calorie deficit. If your eating habits don’t change, the scale won’t either.
• Match the appetite control of GLP-1s like Wegovy or Mounjaro.
• Work instantly. Don’t expect dramatic results in a week.

If a clinic promises 10 pounds of fat loss from injections alone, that’s a red flag. Real weight loss comes from steady habits backed by the right medical tools. The shots are one of those tools — not the whole toolbox.

How We Use Lipo Shots at Miami Lakes Med Spa

Our pricing model changed in April 2026. We moved away from the old monthly subscription to a simpler pay-per-visit model. Every visit now includes a complimentary lipo shot — no extra fee, no upsell.

Here’s what weekly visits cost:

• Semaglutide: $75 per week
• Tirzepatide 2.5–7.5 mg: $95 per week
• Tirzepatide 10–12.5 mg: $125 per week
• Tirzepatide 15 mg: $150 per week

Your weekly visit with Dr. Sabrina Gonzalez or our trained medical team covers a quick check-in, your GLP-1 dose, and your lipo shot. That keeps the process simple and predictable. Financing is also available through Cherry, CareCredit, or Klarna if you want to spread out the cost.

Are Fat Burning Injections Right for You?

Good candidates are adults who are already serious about losing weight and want extra support. You might be a strong fit if you:

• Are starting or already on semaglutide or tirzepatide therapy
• Feel low on energy despite a decent diet
• Want a structured weekly touchpoint with a medical team
• Have no allergies to B vitamins or the MIC blend

The shots may not be right for you if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain kidney or liver conditions. Always share your full health history at your free consultation. Dr. John Serpa, MD oversees all medical decisions, so you’re never guessing about safety.

Patients from across South Florida — including Miami Lakes, Hialeah, Doral, and Pembroke Pines — choose us for transparent pricing and a real medical model. No gimmicks, no per-unit surprises, just clear care.

Realistic Timeline and Results

Here’s a fair look at what to expect when lipo shots are part of your plan:

• Week 1–2: Many patients feel a small lift in energy. Appetite control comes from your GLP-1, not the shot.
• Week 3–6: Weight starts to trend down on the scale, usually 1–2 pounds per week with a good diet.
• Month 2–3: Clothes fit looser. Bloodwork often shows better triglycerides and liver markers.
• Month 4–6: Cumulative fat loss becomes visible. Most patients on tirzepatide see noticeable change by this point.

Individual results may vary. Sticking with the plan is the single biggest factor. Skipping weeks slows progress more than any product choice.

Fat burning injections are a helpful piece of a smart weight loss plan — not a miracle. When paired with GLP-1 therapy, balanced eating, and weekly accountability, they support steady, lasting change. At Miami Lakes Med Spa, every weekly visit includes a complimentary shot, so you get the support without the surprise bill.
