Each formula has a dedicated bilingual detail page with ingredients, a poster animation, and a video. Browse at /services/iv-therapy.

The clinic does not publish session lengths on its website, so don’t assume a standard time — IV therapy is described as a relaxing experience with patients comfortable during the infusion. Ask staff when you book via /book; the published price floor is $120.

The clinic does not publish a walk-in policy for IV therapy, so booking ahead is the safe choice — use the Athena scheduling link for your location on /book, or call East (915) 320-7707 / West (915) 503-2878. IV therapy starts at $120 and vitamin shots start at $15.

The clinic does not publish a recommended cadence — frequency depends on the formula you choose and your health goals, and the care team helps you pick a plan at your visit. Prices start at $120 per session and vitamin shots start at $15. Book a consultation at /book.

Vitamin shots start at $15. They’re a quick in-clinic visit — an intramuscular injection delivers vitamins into the muscle where they’re absorbed into the bloodstream — with the same IV & IM Collection formulas available as shots. IV therapy starts at $120. Details at /services/iv-therapy.

IV therapy infuses vitamins and nutrients through a vein over a relaxing session (starting at $120); vitamin shots are a quick intramuscular injection in the clinic (starting at $15). Every formula in the 17-formula IV & IM Collection is available in both formats, so you can pick the experience that fits your schedule. See /services/iv-therapy.

The medical weight management program is $50 per week or $180 per month. It combines GLP-1 medications (semaglutide, tirzepatide) with nutrition and fitness coaching and vitamin support shots, under clinical supervision. Details and the BMI self-qualify tool are at /services/weight-management.

Yes, under clinical supervision. The weight management program offers semaglutide and tirzepatide alongside nutrition and fitness coaching, vitamin support shots (MIC B12, L-Carnitine), and an on-page BMI calculator so you can check whether you qualify — typically a BMI over 27 with weight-related conditions — before booking. See /services/weight-management.

Prescription eligibility is typically tied to a BMI over 27 with weight-related conditions such as diabetes, but the care team makes the final call at your visit. The weight-management page includes a BMI self-qualify calculator you can use before booking. Program pricing is $50/week or $180/month. See /services/weight-management.

The weight management program is published as cash pricing — $50 per week or $180 per month — and the clinic does not publish insurance coverage for GLP-1 medication. Coverage depends on your specific plan; call East (915) 320-7707 or West (915) 503-2878 and staff will verify your benefits before you start. See /services/weight-management.

Nutrition and fitness coaching are built into the program alongside GLP-1 medication — the medication is one part of a supervised plan that includes lifestyle coaching and vitamin support shots. Pricing is $50 per week or $180 per month. See /services/weight-management.

Yes. The clinic’s hormone therapy covers testosterone therapy, estrogen therapy, thyroid therapy, and ED treatments starting at $5 per dose. Testosterone injections address fatigue, brain fog, and low libido; estrogen therapy helps hot flashes and mood swings; thyroid management covers TSH and T4 levels. See /services/hormone-therapy.

Yes. Premier Clinic performs school and sports physicals plus the immunizations and screenings schools require: TDAP ($90), Flu ($45), COVID ($40), Tuberculin ($30), 10-panel drug test ($35), and titers ($115). Details at /students.

A titer is a blood test that checks immunity to a disease — often required by schools and healthcare programs instead of re-vaccination. At Premier Clinic titers cost $115. The in-house lab (Mon–Fri 8am–3pm, Sat 8am–12pm, no appointment needed) performs on-site collection. See /students.

Yes. A 10-panel drug test is $35 at Premier Clinic, often required for school programs, sports, or employment. Tuberculin skin tests ($30) and the other school-required immunizations are also available. See /students.

Premier Clinic partners with the El Paso Independent School District to give EPISD employees dedicated care at the Central clinic (1014 N Stanton, El Paso, TX 79902) — walk-ins always accepted Monday–Thursday 8am–4:30pm — plus access to the East and West locations.

Yes — Saturdays 8am–3pm. Sunday the clinic is closed. The in-house laboratory is also open Saturday 8am–12pm with no appointment needed. Weekday hours are Monday–Friday 8am–5pm.

Yes. The /contact page has a message form that posts into the clinic’s callback-request pipeline — staff respond through that queue. For booking an actual appointment, use the Athena scheduling links on /book, which is faster than a callback for time-sensitive needs.

Yes. The clinic notes 24/7 provider availability including virtual visits from home, particularly for primary-care follow-ups that don’t require an in-person exam. The primary-care page describes the virtual-visit options. Book at /book or call your location.

It depends on the formula. Premier Clinic’s 17-formula IV & IM Collection lists every ingredient on each formula’s detail page — common building blocks include B-complex, B12, vitamin C, magnesium, glutathione, zinc, taurine, amino-acid blends, and lipotropic compounds like MIC and carnitine. For example, B-Defense (immune support) blends vitamin C, zinc, glutathione, B-complex, and minerals, while B-Energized (energy and fatigue) centers on B-complex, B12, and taurine. Browse the full ingredient lists at /services/iv-therapy; IV therapy starts at $120.

People book IV therapy for goals like steady energy, immune support, hydration and recovery, skin radiance, stress, and focus — and Premier Clinic built a formula around each one: B-Energized for energy and fatigue, B-Defense for immune support, B-Radiant for skin and hair, B-Restore for stress, B-Focused for mental clarity, and B-Detox for liver support, among 17 options. Formulas are grouped into Wellness and Chronic-condition lines, and every formula is also available as a $15+ IM shot. Results vary by person, so the provider helps match a formula to your goal at your visit — start at /book.

With IV therapy, nutrients are infused directly into the bloodstream through a vein during a relaxing in-clinic session, bypassing the digestive system entirely — oral vitamins go through digestion first. The trade-off is convenience versus experience: vitamin shots ($15+) are a quick in-and-out visit, IV sessions (from $120) are a longer lounge-style appointment. Which format fits you depends on your goals and schedule; the team at /book can walk you through it.

The clinic doesn’t publish a standard duration — it varies by formula, your body, and your goals, which is why frequency is set with the provider rather than from a menu. Many clients build IV therapy into a routine (for example around training, travel, or demanding work weeks). Vitamin shots from $15 are the lower-commitment way to try a formula first. Book a consultation at /book to get a plan matched to you.

Glutathione is an antioxidant the body makes naturally, and it appears across Premier Clinic’s collection — in B-Detox and B-Reset (liver support), B-Radiant (skin, hair, and beauty), B-Defense (immune support), and B-Relieved (pain and inflammation support), among others. Each formula’s page lists its full ingredient lineup so you can see exactly what you’re getting. Explore them at /services/iv-therapy, starting at $120 per session.

IV therapy is a clinical service, so the provider reviews your health history before your first session — that’s especially important if you’re pregnant, nursing, managing a chronic condition, or taking prescription medications. Bring your medication list and questions to your visit; the team will confirm the right formula and format for you. Start at /book or call (915) 320-7707.

Premier Clinic offers vitamin B12 shots (from $15) for energy and metabolism support, and B12 also appears in energy-focused IV formulas like B-Energized and B-Lean+. Shots are intramuscular — a quick in-clinic visit with no IV line — which makes them the easy entry point if you’re curious about the collection. As with any supplement, the provider confirms it’s appropriate for you at your visit. Book at /book.

Vitamin shots are a standard intramuscular injection — a quick pinch that’s over in seconds, done in the clinic with no appointment-length session. Most people are in and out in minutes. If you’re needle-shy, tell the staff when you book at /book and they’ll walk you through what to expect. Shots start at $15.

There’s no one-size schedule published — cadence depends on the formula and your goals, and the provider sets it with you at your visit. Some clients come in around demanding weeks, training blocks, or travel; others build it into a regular wellness routine. Shots start at $15, so it’s easy to try once and decide. Book at /book.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication — it mimics a natural gut hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar, helping you feel full sooner and stay full longer so eating less feels natural rather than forced. At Premier Clinic it’s prescribed as part of a medically supervised program ($50/week or $180/month), not handed out on its own: the provider evaluates you, sets the plan, and monitors progress. Start with a consultation at /book.

Both are injectable GLP-1–based medications used for medical weight loss; tirzepatide also acts on a second hormone pathway (GIP) in addition to GLP-1. They differ in dosing schedules, titration, and how individuals respond — which is exactly why the choice is made with a medical provider, not from a comparison chart. Premier Clinic’s weight-management program ($50/week or $180/month) starts with an evaluation where the provider recommends the right option for you. Book at /book.

The clinic doesn’t promise a number — results depend on your starting point, the medication plan, nutrition, and consistency, and the provider sets realistic expectations with you at your consultation. What’s published: the program is medically supervised, costs $50/week or $180/month, and pairs medication with coaching so the habits last beyond the prescription. Book your evaluation at /book.

The most commonly reported side effects of GLP-1 medications are gastrointestinal — nausea, reduced appetite, constipation or diarrhea — especially when starting or increasing a dose, which is why dosing is titrated gradually under medical supervision. Your provider reviews your full health history, discusses risks, and monitors you throughout Premier Clinic’s $50/week or $180/month program. Bring your questions to your consultation at /book.

Not necessarily — the plan is built with your provider and revisited over time. Premier Clinic pairs the medication with coaching on nutrition and habits precisely so progress doesn’t depend on a prescription alone, and the provider designs the maintenance phase with you. What matters is having a medical team adjusting the plan as your body changes. Start at /book.

They’re lipotropic (fat-metabolism–supporting) injections in Premier Clinic’s weight collection: MIC B12 combines the “lipo-mino” amino blend with B12 to help the body burn fat and support liver function, while L-carnitine helps convert fat into usable energy and supports lean muscle. They’re positioned as complements to — not replacements for — the medically supervised semaglutide program ($50/week or $180/month). Ask the provider which combination fits your goals at /book.

Premier Clinic’s hormone-therapy page lists the symptoms men commonly report: low energy, muscle loss, poor sleep, low motivation, weight gain, mental fog, and low libido. (Women report their own pattern: fatigue, mood changes, hot flashes, weight changes, brain fog, poor sleep, low libido, and irritability.) Symptoms alone don’t diagnose anything — the clinic starts with comprehensive hormone labs to establish your baseline. Book the consultation at /book.

It’s Premier Clinic’s hormone-delivery method: tiny pellets placed quickly beneath the skin in the office release hormones steadily over time — no daily pills, patches, or creams to remember. The process runs consultation → comprehensive lab work → a personalized pellet plan built around your labs and symptoms → insertion → ongoing follow-up monitoring. Book your consultation at /book.

According to the clinic’s hormone-therapy page, pellets typically last several months before replacement — that “long lasting” steady release is the main convenience over daily methods. Timing is personalized: follow-up labs and monitoring determine when your next round is due. Start with a consultation at /book.

Yes — comprehensive hormone panels are step two of Premier Clinic’s published process, right after the consultation and before any treatment plan is built. Labs establish your baseline so the pellet plan is customized to your actual levels and symptoms, and follow-up labs keep you balanced over time. Book at /book.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine injected into muscles to temporarily improve moderate-to-severe forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults — it relaxes the targeted muscles so the overlying lines soften. Results are temporary, so treatment is repeated to maintain the look; your provider discusses timing and expectations at your consultation. Botox is $10/unit at Premier Clinic — book at /book.

They do opposite jobs: Botox relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines (forehead, crow’s feet, frown lines), while filler restores volume — Premier Clinic’s bio-fillers are used for lip augmentation, cheeks and chin, nasolabial folds, and tear troughs, and their PPP bio-filler is autologous, made from your own plasma. Many clients combine both; the provider maps the right plan to your face at a consultation. Botox $10/unit, filler $450/syringe — /book.

That’s decided with the provider at your consultation — it depends on which areas you’re treating, muscle strength, and the result you want, so no honest clinic quotes units sight unseen. What’s published: Botox is $10/unit at Premier Clinic, so once your plan is mapped you’ll know the exact cost before anything begins. Book the consultation at /book.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) facial biostimulation uses your own plasma to stimulate regeneration of the collagen and elastin lost over the years — it helps combat flaccidity and premature aging of the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, defines the facial frame, and softens the signs of aging. Premier Clinic also offers PRP under-eye treatment at $200. Book a consultation at /book to see if it fits your goals.

Premier Clinic offers microneedling at $250 — it’s one of the medical-aesthetics options alongside Botox, fillers, PRP, Kybella, mesotherapy, and PDO threads. What it targets and whether it suits your skin is mapped out with the provider at a consultation, since treatment choice depends on your skin’s condition and goals. Book at /book, and financing (Affirm, Afterpay, Klarna) can split the cost.

Premier Clinic’s body-sculpting menu targets stubborn pockets of fat and muscle tone without surgery — options include EMS body sculpting ($100/session, 30-minute sessions that build muscle and burn fat), radiofrequency (supports collagen for a skin-firming effect), vacuum/BBL therapy for lift and shape, and anti-cellulite cavitation. How many sessions you need and what to expect is assessed at a consultation, because it depends on the area and your goals. Start at /book.
