B12 Vitamin Injection

Vitamin B12

B12 injections can help you look and feel younger, targeting the anti-aging process holistically.

What Is Vitamin B12?

Vitamin B12, also known as cyanocobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin required by the body in order to function properly. It is vital in a number of different biological processes. These processes include DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, energy production, nerve cell health, and general neurological function.

The B12 vitamin is an essential part of good health. It’s naturally found in foods you eat, including meats, milk, eggs, and other dairy products and plays a vital role in the production of red blood cells.

Why You Might Need B12 Injections

Aging and certain medical conditions affect your body’s ability to absorb B12, leaving you feeling tired and forgetful. While vitamin supplements can provide your body with the B12 it needs to function properly, injections ensure your body properly absorbs and utilizes the vitamin.

Benefits of B12 Injections:

SKIN:
Vitamin B12 promotes the growth of healthy skin cells and repairs damage to the skin. Vitamin B12 is necessary for the production of new blood cells. Your skin, hair, and nails all need a constant supply of new cells for proper growth. With B12 injections, you can enhance the health and overall appearance of your skin, hair, and nails and prevent or repair problems like acne, premature wrinkles, and brittle nails — all of which are common with B12 deficiency. It also helps to regulate the production of pigment in the skin, meaning that you will have a more even skin tone and fewer dark spots.

Vitamin B12 helps your body convert the food you eat into the energy your body needs to fight fatigue. Vitamin B12 injections can significantly boost your metabolism and even help with your weight-loss efforts. With increased levels of energy, you can be more active, and you’ll feel younger and less tired.

MEMORY:
Vitamin B12 improves overall brain health and functionality. If you’re tired of feeling older than your years because you can’t seem to remember anything, B12 injections can increase your brain power. Regular B12 injections can clear foggy thinking and forgetfulness, which are commonly attributed to aging.

PHYSICALLY
As you age, your ability to physically react to your environment slows. If you have a B12 deficiency, you may find a premature decline in your reflexes and frequent feelings of numbness in your fingers, legs, or arms. B12 injections boost the health of your nervous system, improving your reflexes and preventing the decline of your necessary motor skills.

Who Can’t Have B12 Injections?

There are almost no circumstances under which a course of B12 injections would not be beneficial to your health. Nevertheless, there are a few cases in which they may not be suitable for you.

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you may not be suitable for B12 injections.

Allergies

If you are allergic to cobalt, you should not take vitamin B12, as vitamin B12 contains a cobalt molecule. Though allergies to cobalt are rarely dangerous, taking any form of B12 supplement, whether by injection, tablet, or topically applied gel, may result in an uncomfortable, itchy rash.

If you are not sure if you may be affected by any of these conditions, don’t worry. During your initial consultation with our providers, you will discuss your medical history in order to assess whether there could be any risk factors that would make it inadvisable to take B12 injections. However, these are rare, and for the vast majority of the population, B12 injections can do nothing but good.

If you’re tired of feeling worn out and older than your years, the Southern Cosmetic Laser medical team can evaluate your health history and lifestyle habits to determine if B12 injections are right for you.

Regular injections can ensure your body consistently receives the B12 vitamin it needs to stop forgetfulness and enhance the natural beauty of your skin, hair, and nails.
