Medical Weight Loss in Sarasota, FL
We don't just prescribe medication. We medically manage your entire transformation.
Successful weight loss isn't just about the number on the scale. Alison Chafin, APRN-C creates personalized medical weight loss plans that focus on sustainable fat loss, preserving lean muscle, minimizing side effects, and helping you feel healthier and more confident every step of the way.
LOSE FAT. PRESERVE MUSCLE. FEEL YOUR BEST.
Why Our Program Is Different
Most programs focus on prescribing medication. At Injections & Co., we focus on helping you achieve healthier, long-term results through personalized medical care.
Every patient responds differently to GLP-1 medications, which is why Alison creates an individualized plan based on your body, goals, and progress. Throughout your journey, you'll receive ongoing medical supervision, personalized dosing adjustments, nutrition guidance, and recommendations that support long-term success rather than short-term results.
Personalized Dosing
Every patient responds differently to GLP-1 medications. Rather than automatically increasing your dose on a predetermined schedule, Alison carefully adjusts treatment based on your appetite, progress, side effects, and goals. Many patients achieve excellent results without needing the highest dose.
Preserve Lean Muscle
Healthy weight loss isn't just about losing pounds. Losing lean muscle can reduce strength, slow metabolism, and make long-term weight maintenance more difficult. That's why Alison emphasizes adequate protein intake, resistance training, and healthy lifestyle habits to help preserve lean muscle while reducing body fat.
Comprehensive Support
Your relationship with us doesn't end after your prescription. Alison follows your progress, answers questions, helps manage side effects, adjusts your treatment when appropriate, and supports you through every stage of your weight loss journey. You're never left to navigate the process alone.

WHAT IT TREATS
Looking Great Is Part of Feeling Great
Significant weight loss can improve your health, energy, and confidence. As body fat decreases, however, some people notice changes in facial volume or skin quality. Because Alison specializes in both medical weight loss and facial aesthetics, she can help you plan for those changes with personalized recommendations designed to maintain a healthy, natural appearance.
At Injections & Co., we look at the whole picture. As your body transforms, Alison Chafin, APRN-C can help you maintain natural facial balance with personalized recommendations that may include Sculptra, dermal fillers, Dermal PRP, Botox, Aerolase laser treatments, and medical-grade skincare. Our goal is never to make you look different, only refreshed and confident in your results.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Medical Weight Loss in Sarasota - Frequently Asked Questions
-
The most common side effects of GLP-1 medications include nausea, mild digestive discomfort, and decreased appetite, particularly during the initial dosing phase. These typically improve as your body adjusts. Alison Chafin, APRN-C reviews your full health history before starting any program to ensure it is appropriate for you.
-
Program length varies by individual. Most clients begin to see meaningful results within the first 4–8 weeks and continue the program for several months to reach their goal weight. Long-term success depends on building sustainable, healthy habits alongside medication.
-
Not necessarily. Every face is different. Some patients benefit from collagen stimulators like Sculptra, while others may be better candidates for dermal fillers, Botox, laser treatments, or a combination approach. During your consultation, we'll develop a personalized plan based on your facial anatomy and goals.
-
Results vary depending on the medication, starting weight, dosing, and lifestyle factors. Clinical trials for Tirzepatide showed average weight loss of up to 20–22% of body weight. Semaglutide trials showed average losses of 15%. Combining medication with healthy nutrition and regular movement produces the best outcomes.
-
Yes. We serve clients from Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Venice, Osprey, Siesta Key, and throughout the Gulf Coast region of Florida.
-
Yes. Significant weight loss, whether from GLP-1 medications or lifestyle changes, can reduce facial fat and make natural signs of aging more noticeable. Some people experience flatter cheeks, deeper smile lines, or a more hollow appearance.
-
Both medications are administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous (under the skin) injection, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. We provide full instructions so you can self-administer your doses comfortably at home.
-
Plateaus are a normal part of the weight loss process and happen to almost everyone. When your progress slows, we reassess your dosing and discuss nutrition and activity adjustments. GLP-1 medications are most effective when paired with a balanced diet and consistent exercise - our team will guide you through this.
-
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite and slows digestion, while Tirzepatide activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, making it a more powerful option with greater average weight loss outcomes in clinical trials. Alison Chafin, APRN-C will help determine which medication is best suited for your goals and health history during your consultation.
-
Unlike online prescription services that ship medication with little to no oversight, Injections & Co. provides a fully supervised program. Alison Chafin, APRN-C monitors your progress, adjusts your dosing, and checks in regularly to ensure your program is working safely and effectively.

"I've struggled with my weight for years and felt like I had tried everything without lasting success. After starting the GLP-1 weight loss program at Injections & Co., I finally found something that worked. The process was simple, the team was incredibly supportive, and I never felt judged. Within weeks, my cravings were under control, I was eating less without constantly thinking about food, and the weight started coming off. Beyond the weight loss, I have more energy, better confidence, and feel healthier than I have in years. If you're tired of starting over and want a medically supervised program with real results, I highly recommend giving Injections & Co. a try."
