B12 Injections
Do you feel tired all the time and find yourself struggling to make it through the end of the day? For healthy individuals vit B12 injections can be used intermittently and are a popular treatment for exhaustion, burn out and even post party nausea! As (with very few exceptions) there is no recognised risk from receiving high or frequent doses of Vitamin B12, we set no limit on the frequency of Vitamin B12 injections – the requirement can be determined by the client’s symptoms.
Are Vitamin B12 Injections Safe?
For the majority of people, yes. B12 is a water-soluble vitamin – which means that surplus is not retained in the tissues, it is passed out of the body via the kidneys and therefore will not reach toxic levels.
How often should I have B12?
As we are not treating an illness but offering a supplement, we do not recommend a particular regime, the frequency will depend on client’s symptoms and could even just be a be a one off injection.
Importantly, assuming there are no contraindications to treatment, frequent B12 injections are safe.
Can I Get These From My GP?
You might be able to do so, therefore it is always worth asking – and of course you will receive them if you have a diagnosed B12 deficiency – but many of our clients come to us because their GPs are unwilling to offer treatment more frequently than every 3 months, which is the currently advised interval for treatment with B12 for proven deficiency.
We are offering these injections as a supplement to enhance general health and wellbeing; we are not treating an illness.
Where’s the Injection & Does it Hurt?
Usually the upper arm (deltoid muscle). A brief sting is possible but will not be long lasting. Reactions at the site of the injection are possible (redness, swelling) but are rare and short lived.
Do Not Have These if…
- If you have a known allergy to cobalt.

Biotin Injections
Biotin also known as B7 or vitamin H, is a type of B complex vitamin that occurs naturally in a variety of foods, such as egg yolks, milk and dairy, legumes, nuts, avocados, bananas and organ meats like liver. Biotin helps support a healthy nervous system and improves the basic protein that makes up hair, skin and nails. This is why Biotin is known to help with hair growth and improve the general health of hair, skin and nails. It is also an important part of how enzymes in the body break down substances like fats, protein and carbohydrates into energy.
Why have Biotin Injections?
Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin, therefore it is not easily stored in the body. Any excess is passed through your system, and regular intake is required to avoid deficiency due to its transient nature. Biotin can be taken in tablet form or given intramuscularly as an injection. Most supplements are not effectively absorbed by our bodies through ingestion, intramuscular Biotin injections have been more effective in increasing Biotin levels faster in many patients.
Correct dosages of Biotin supplementation have shown an increase in hair growth, hair structure and thickness, as well as a decrease in hair loss. Higher doses of Biotin have also resulted in significant nail health improvement. Studies have shown that those who take a Biotin supplement can thicken their nails by up to 25 percent and decrease the amount of nail splitting and breakage they endure.
There are also numerous reports from both males and females stating that an unexpected side effect (or benefit) of Biotin, was that it noticeably improved their sex drive – however, there is no factual scientific evidence to support this, other than improving their overall health by supplementation.
Benefits of Biotin Injections?
We use official BAYER Biotin (Vitamin H) injectables which are supplied by a UK licensed and registered pharmaceutical company. This means we have full traceability to verify its authenticity and the injectables are properly batch recorded and controlled by our UK Registered prescribers. Although the main known benefit of Biotin is related to hair growth, there are many more benefits as listed below:
- Aids in healthy sweat glands
- Good for nerve tissue and bone marrow
- Supports healthy cell growth, promoting healthy, glowing skin – with additional anti-ageing benefits
- Improves acne, eczema and skin conditions.
- Strengthens hair and helps create Red Blood Cells that carry the nutrition and oxygen to the scalp and hair follicles, thus promoting healthy hair growth.
- Aids in preventing hair loss.
- Promotes nail growth and strengthens dry, brittle nails.
- Improves blood glucose.
- Increases metabolism and speeds up weight loss by triggering the reactions needed to turn food into fuel.
- Boots enzyme production, which in turn supports the metabolisation of fat and carbohydrates.
- Creates amino acids that play a vital role in building up proteins (cell strength), which has a great effect on rejuvenation.

Vitamin D Injections
Vitamin D is a Fat Soluble vitamin which means it is stored in the body and released as needed.
Why have Vitamin D Injections?
Vitamin D is known as the ‘Sunshine Vitamin’ as the body creates vitamin D from direct sunlight on the skin when outdoors. Between October and early March, we do not make enough vitamin D from sunlight, and as Vitamin D is not naturally present in many foods, supplements are recommended to keep your bones and muscles healthy.
This essential nutrient is required for many of the main processes of the body and is important for maintaining your general health and well-being. Vitamin D injections could be suitable if you’re feeling tired or run down as it helps to boost energy levels and fight stress and tiredness.
Vitamin D can also boost your immune system to protect the body against illness and disease, as well as encourage healthy muscles and strengthen bones by helping the body to absorb calcium.
Why we need Vitamin D
Vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body.
These nutrients are needed to keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy, helping us grow. Vitamin D also helps boost and regulate the immune system and the neuromuscular system, also playing a major role in the life cycle of human cells and helping to heal/repair broken skin.
Signs that you may need more vitamin D include fatigue and low energy, low mood, muscle weakness and hair loss.

Vitamin C Injections
Our Vitamin C injections offer a quick and effective solution for those suffering from Vitamin C deficiency, as part of a high standard aesthetic and immune support treatment package.
Your skin will glow with health…
We don’t need to tell you that when you look good, you feel good!
Vitamin C injections take some of the benefits of a high nutrient diet and transfer them directly into your skin – with the boost of collagen helping to combat those fine lines, while the presence of Vitamin C can also help to protect the skin from UV rays, alleviate dark patches and uneven skin tones, and act as an antioxidant for the skin.
Some other benefits include:
- Alleviating under eye circles.
- Moisturising the skin.
- Decreasing inflammation in the skin.
- Slowing the signs of ageing.
All of this means that when you invest in Vitamin C injections, your health and wellbeing will radiate from your skin and leave you looking as great as you feel.
Treatment summary. Who needs Vitamin C and why?
From under eye circles to uneven patches on your skin, an underlying dull tone, or the growing presence of fine lines, Vitamin C is a nutrient that everybody should be taking more notice of. Our Vitamin C injections are the ideal solution for those who feel they are deficient in the nutrient – providing a boost right where it’s needed.
We recommend our Vitamin C injections if you are lacking in fruit and vegetables in your diet, or if you spot some of the signs of Vitamin C deficiency which include coloured and dark patches on the skin, slow-healing wounds, swollen or bleeding gums, fatigue, and joint pain.
Naturally found in citrus fruits and vegetables, we all know that Vitamin C is crucial for supporting the immune system and helping the body to ward off illness. But did you know that it also plays a role in building collagen in the skin, healing wounds, and preventing damage to the cells both in and under the skin?
