Vitamin B12 Injections

Reduce Fatigue and Lift Mood

What are Vitamin B12 Injections?

One of the 8 B vitamins, Vitamin B12 is essential for the maintenance of healthy nervous and immune systems and the production of red blood cells. With an extensive list of health benefits, our Vitamin B12 Injections give your body a boost of natural energy and leave you feeling refreshed, replenished and rejuvenated, whilst strengthening your immune system, improving your mood, reducing fatigue, speeding up your metabolism and promoting deeper sleep.

​

Some people can develop a vitamin B12 deficiency as a result of not getting enough vitamin B12 from their diet.

​

A diet that includes meat, fish and dairy products usually provides enough vitamin B12, but people who do not regularly eat these foods can become deficient.

​

People who eat a vegan diet and do not take vitamin B12 supplements or eat foods fortified with vitamin B12, are also at risk.

​

Stores of vitamin B12 in the body can last around 2 to 5 years without being replenished, so it can take a long time for any problems to develop after a dietary change.

  • What are Anti Wrinkle Injections used for?
    ​Anti-wrinkle injections are used in aesthetics to smooth crow’s feet, forehead furrows, frown lines, lip lines and bunny lines, diminish neck bands, improve the appearance of skin dimpling of the chin, lift the corners of the mouth and correct a gummy smile. Anti-wrinkle injections are also used to treat a number of medical conditions including blepharospasm, Idiopathic cervical dystonia, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), hemifacial spasm, leakage of urine due to bladder problems associated with spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis.
  • How do Anti Wrinkle Injections work?
    Anti Wrinkle injections work by blocking the transition of chemical messages sent from the nerve to cause the muscle to contract. Without these messages, the muscle stays in a resting state until the "messengers" recover.
  • Are Anti Wrinkle Injections right for me?
    People often request the injections to treat lines and wrinkles. The treatment can be used in the following areas of the face: Wrinkles between the eyebrows, called frown lines, glabellar lines, or elevens Wrinkles around the eyes, known as crow’s feet Horizontal creases in the forehead Lines at the corners of the mouth “Cobblestone” skin on the chin Typically patients start having treatment with anti-wrinkle injections once lines and wrinkles begin to appear when the face is at rest and can be used in lower doses at a younger age to prevent lines becoming deep or heavy.
  • How long does the treatment take?
    Treatment within Anti Wrinkle injections take around 30 minutes.
  • What does it feel like?
    Some patients may experience a mild stinging sensation from the injection but the discomfort experienced is minimal as a very fine needle is used. No local anaesthetic is required. Any small bumps at the site of injection usually resolve within 30 minutes, with no significant downtime.

    Typically, one session is recommended every 3 to 4 months, including for some patients, a top up session at weeks following initial treatment. Over time the treatment will wear off and you will notice movement slowly come back.

    People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a neurological disease should not have Anti Wrinkle injections.
  • What aftercare should I follow?
    Do not rub or massage the treated areas for 24 hours. This may help prevent the toxin from spreading to a different area. You can return to your normal activities right after the procedure.
