GLP-1 and GLP/GIP Injection Basics
Administering GLP-1 and GLP/GIP involves a simple injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection). Our team guides you through the process to ensure you’re confident and comfortable about self-injection.
The needles used for GLP-1 and GLP/GIP are tiny, ultra-thin ones. Most patients don’t feel them entering the skin, so it’s very different from vaccinations, such as flu shots.
We explain injection techniques in detail. The main injection sites are the abdomen and thigh, with the upper arm being a less common option. Some evidence suggests that the body might absorb this medication better when injected into the abdomen. However, many patients enjoy great success with other injection sites as well.
We might recommend lightly pinching the skin in your chosen injection area, which helps ensure it goes into the fat but not deeper tissues like muscles.
We also explain how to vary your injection sites. It’s often best to rotate between a few different areas. For example, if you inject the left lower belly one week, we might suggest switching to the right side next week.
In addition, we provide detailed guidance about how to handle and dispose of your syringes.
We’re here to support you every step of the way, from your first at-home injection to your maintenance doses months later.
