Vitamin Injections

Overview

To boost energy and keep fatigue at bay, the Aesthetic Center of Gainesville offers B-12 shots. Vitamin B12 is useful for the development of red blood cells and helps keep your cardiovascular and nervous systems healthy. Medical professionals use the vitamin injections to boost energy levels and help you feel and look better than ever before. Additionally, B-12 is known to have weight loss properties, where the appetite is suppressed and the vitamin acts as a mild diuretic. We recommend these injections once a month for continuous energy in a safe and effective manner.

01

Administering B-12

The most common B-12 shots are Cyanocobalamin, which is a synthetic version of the vitamin. The injection is administered directly into the muscle of the thigh or the upper arm. This allows the vitamin to be directly absorbed into the bloodstream for a quick-acting effect. The shot is similar to virtually any shot, where it will feel like a normal prick or a quick stinging sensation.

What To Expect

“Dr. Schaheen explains everything top to bottom”

I cut my pinky flexor tendon mid-July, and had a different doctor operate. When I hadn’t seen the greatest results, I went to Dr. Schaheen and she scheduled me for surgery immediately with full communication on what needed to be improved. My surgery was early October, and the scar is already almost non-existent! She is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, and a joy to talk to. She has the sweetest, most nurturing personality. Dr. Schaheen explains everything top to bottom. The only negative thing about her is that I can’t rate above five stars. Dr. Scaheen, you are a JOY!!!!!
