Towns with skinny shots & weight-loss injections in Rhode Island
How this list is built: clinicians from the federal NPI registry (NPPES), mostly physicians plus some nurse practitioners and physician assistants, whose primary specialty fits weight care and whose registry record lists an address in Rhode Island. The registry does not confirm who prescribes GLP-1 medications, who is taking new patients, or which insurance an office accepts.
Skinny shots in Rhode Island: what is in the syringe
“Skinny shot” is a marketing name for two different injections. Many med spas mean a lipotropic shot: B12 with amino acids such as methionine, inositol, and choline, sold as MIC. No large trial shows those cause meaningful weight loss, and the NIH B12 fact sheet notes extra B12 does nothing once your levels are normal.
The other meaning is a prescription GLP-1 such as Wegovy or Zepbound. In STEP-1, people on semaglutide lost 14.9% of body weight over 68 weeks. Before you pay, ask which drug is in the shot and who prescribes it. The clinicians below come from the federal NPI registry.

Where can I get skinny shots in Rhode Island?
