Physicians near Reston, VA to ask about skinny shots
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 Reston, VA. The registry does not confirm who prescribes GLP-1 medications, who is taking new patients, or which insurance an office accepts.
Skinny shots in Reston, VA: 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 Reston, VA
Where can I get skinny shots in Reston, VA?
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 32 clinicians listed above come from the federal NPI registry. Ask each office what it prescribes.
Is a skinny shot the same as Ozempic?
Not always. "Skinny shot" is a marketing name for two different injections. One is a lipotropic or B12 shot, often labeled MIC, which no large trial shows causes meaningful weight loss. The other is a prescription GLP-1 such as Wegovy or Zepbound. Ozempic is semaglutide, approved for type 2 diabetes. When an office in Reston, VA offers a skinny shot, ask which drug is in it and who prescribes it.
