Cost guide
Lipo-C injections: cost, benefits and how they compare to a GLP-1
Reviewed by the FaroRx clinical team · Updated September 2026
The short answer
Lipo-C is a lipotropic injection combining methionine, inositol, choline and B12 to support fat metabolism and energy. At a medspa, single shots typically run $25–$75 each, which adds up to $100–$300 a month. FaroRx supplies Lipo-C at $129 per month including the vial, supplies, provider review and shipping, self-administered at home.
Lipo-C vs a GLP-1
| Lipo-C | Compounded semaglutide | |
|---|---|---|
| Main effect | Fat metabolism and energy support | Appetite suppression and weight loss |
| Evidence for weight loss | Supportive; modest | Strong clinical trial data |
| Frequency | Weekly at home | Weekly at home |
| FaroRx price | $129/mo | From $159/mo |
Who Lipo-C suits
People who are already eating and training well and want metabolic and energy support, people who cannot take a GLP-1, and people using it alongside a GLP-1 for B12 support during rapid weight loss.
The FaroRx safety note
FaroRx medications are prescription-only. A licensed provider reviews your intake, medical history and medication list before anything is prescribed, and can decline if a treatment is not appropriate for you. Nothing here is medical advice.

Does Lipo-C work without dieting?
