What Are IM Shots?

IM Shots involve a quick intramuscular injection—most often into the deltoid muscle of the arm or the vastus lateralis in the thigh—using a hypodermic needle and syringe to administer nutrient-rich compounds. These muscular injections penetrate deeper than subcutaneous tissue, helping bypass digestive barriers and deliver active ingredients directly to the bloodstream.

What To Expect During Your Appointment

Preparation

Your provider will locate the injection site, typically in the upper arm, hip, or thigh (e.g., gluteal muscle, deltoid, or vastus lateralis), and clean the skin with alcohol.

Injection

A small needle is inserted at the proper angle (typically 90 degrees) to inject the contents into the muscle tissue. The appointment typically runs around 5 minutes.

Aftercare

You may feel slight pain or soreness at the site. A piece of gauze may be applied to minimize bleeding or inflammation.

You’ll be able to resume your day immediately with minimal interruption.
