Towns with skinny shots & weight-loss injections in Virginia
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 Virginia. The registry does not confirm who prescribes GLP-1 medications, who is taking new patients, or which insurance an office accepts.
Skinny shots in Virginia: 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.

Questions about skinny shots & weight-loss injections in Virginia
Where can I get skinny shots in Virginia?
Lipotropic and B12 "skinny shots" are not FDA-approved for weight loss. FDA-approved GLP-1 medicines for weight management include Wegovy and Zepbound. They need a prescription from a Virginia-licensed clinician who evaluates you. The 934 clinicians listed by town above come from the federal NPI registry. Ask each office what it prescribes.
Can I see a clinician by telehealth for a GLP-1 prescription in Virginia?
Some Virginia clinicians see patients by video. The clinician must hold a Virginia license and must evaluate you before deciding whether an FDA-approved GLP-1 fits. Ask each office how it sees patients.
Do you need a prescription for skinny shots in Virginia?
Yes. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound all require a prescription from a licensed Virginia clinician. There is no legal over-the-counter GLP-1. The FDA advises patients to get a prescription from their doctor and fill it at a state-licensed pharmacy.
Does Virginia Medicaid cover GLP-1 medications for weight loss?
As of April 2026, Virginia Medicaid covers GLP-1s for weight loss (prior authorization typical). Employer and private plans set their own GLP-1 coverage, so confirm your specific plan.
