The ReStart shot has helped many people lose weight, and maintain their newly slimmed physique. If you’ve been struggling to lose weight with diet and exercise alone, this might be a great way to reach your goals and enjoy renewed body confidence.
What You Should Know About ReStart Shot
A ReStart shot is a weight loss treatment method that functions like the GLP-1 hormone found in your intestines. The ReStart shot mimics the effects of GLP-1 hormones by regulating your blood sugar levels and controlling how quickly you get hungry. This process reduces your appetite, thereby managing your food consumption rate, and allowing you to lose weight. The ReStart shot works similarly to other injectable medications for weight loss, but it’s important to know all the details about what to expect during your weight loss treatment.
Eligibility Criteria
The ReStart shot is administered to people with a BMI (body mass index) of over 30kg/m2. The shot can also be administered to people with 27kg/m2 BMI who suffer from weight-related diseases. These diseases include Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. The shot is mainly allowed for people over 18 years old. You may not be eligible for the shot if you have a history of the following health conditions:
- Medullary thyroid cancer
- Gallbladder diseases
- Pancreas related issues
- Multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2
How ReStart Shot is Administered
You will receive the Restart shot in the abdomen, arm, or thigh. This is a once-weekly injection starting from the prescribed date. The injection may last weeks or months depending on the dosage of your prescription. The injection itself is a compounded shot of Tirzepatide and Semaglutide.
You may want to administer your shots at home, and we can take you through the whole process to make you comfortable. Side effects are minimal but may include nausea, acid reflux, constipation, and diarrhea.

Dr. Andrews Plastic Surgery also offers options for weight management like personal training and EmSculpt!
