VITAMIN B12 INJECTIONS
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 injections can help you look and feel younger by targeting the anti-aging process holistically.
What is vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12, also known as cyanocobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin that the body needs 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.Â
Vitamin B12 is an essential part of good health. It is found naturally in the foods you eat, including meats, milk, eggs, and other dairy products, and it 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 tired and forgetful. While vitamin supplements can provide your body with the vitamin B12 it needs to function properly, injections ensure that your body absorbs and uses the vitamin properly.
Benefits of B12 injections:
SKIN:
Vitamin B12 promotes the growth of healthy skin cells and repairs skin damage. Vitamin B12 is necessary for the production of new blood cells. Your skin, hair, and nails need a constant supply of new cells for proper growth. With B12 injections, you can improve the overall health and 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 regulate the production of pigment in the skin, which means you’ll have a more even skin tone and fewer dark spots.
ENERGY, MOOD and METABOLISM:
Vitamin B12 helps your body convert the food you eat into the energy your body needs to fight fatigue. Vitamin B12 injections can significantly increase your metabolism and even help with your weight loss efforts. With higher energy levels, you can be more active and feel younger and less tired.
MEMORY:
Vitamin B12 improves the overall health and functionality of the brain. If you’re tired of feeling older than your years because you can’t seem to remember anything, vitamin B12 injections can boost your brain power. Regular injections of vitamin B12 can eliminate confused thinking and forgetfulness, which are commonly attributed to aging.
PHYSICALLY
As you age, your ability to physically react to your surroundings slows down. If you have a vitamin B12 deficiency, you may experience premature slowing of reflexes and frequent sensations 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 in which a course of B12 injections is not beneficial to your health. However, there are some cases where they may not be right for you.
The pregnancy
If you are pregnant or nursing, 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. Although cobalt allergies are rarely dangerous, taking any form of B12 supplement, whether by injection, tablet, or gel applied topically, can lead to an itchy, uncomfortable rash.
If you’re not sure if you can be affected by any of these conditions, don’t worry. During your initial consultation with our providers, your medical history will be reviewed to assess whether there might be any risk factors that would make receiving vitamin B12 injections inadvisable. However, these are rare, and for the vast majority of the population, B12 injections can do nothing but good.
If you are tired of feeling worn out and older than your years, the medical team at Southern Cosmetic Laser can assess your health history and lifestyle habits to determine if B12 injections are right for you.
Regular injections can ensure your body is constantly getting the vitamin B12 it needs to stop forgetfulness and enhance the natural beauty of your skin, hair, and nails.
