ABOUT THE TREATMENT
Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient the body uses for energy, healthy nerve function, and red blood cell production. An injection delivers it directly for efficient absorption.
At The Real Skin Medical Center, B12 injections are a simple wellness boost for clients who feel run down, low on energy, or want extra support during a busy season. Because the injection bypasses digestion, your body can use B12 efficiently, which is especially helpful for clients who do not absorb it well from food. Many clients add a B12 shot to a facial, IV, or weight loss visit.
