Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that your body uses to make red blood cells, support normal nerve function, and turn the food you eat into energy. Your body cannot make B12 on its own, so it has to come from food or supplements. A B12 shot delivers vitamin B12 as a quick injection, so it does not depend on absorption through the digestive system the way oral supplements do. At Lana Med Spa, B12 shots are offered as part of our wellness services.
B12 shots may be a good fit for adults who want to support their overall wellness routine, and especially for people whose B12 levels may run low. Groups that are more likely to have low B12 include people who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, older adults, and people with certain digestive conditions or a history of stomach or intestinal surgery. Some medications can also affect how B12 is absorbed.
B12 shots are not right for everyone. Let us know if you have an allergy or sensitivity to cobalt or vitamin B12, a history of Leber’s disease, or any other medical conditions, and tell us about all medications and supplements you take. If you have ongoing symptoms such as unusual fatigue, please also speak with your primary care provider, since these symptoms can have many causes.
A B12 shot appointment is quick. Before your first injection, we review your health history and wellness goals. The injection itself takes only a few moments. Most clients are in and out of the office quickly and can go right back to their day. How often you receive B12 shots is something your provider will discuss with you based on your needs.
B12 shots can be part of a broader wellness plan. Clients interested in other wellness services can also learn about our NAD+ IV therapy.
Mild soreness, redness, or tenderness at the injection site is common and usually fades within a day or two. You can return to your normal activities after the appointment. Contact us if you notice anything unusual after your injection, and seek immediate medical care for any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
The injection itself takes only a few moments. Your first visit includes a brief review of your health history and goals.
Most clients feel a quick pinch. Some notice mild soreness at the injection site afterward, which usually fades within a day or two.
It depends on your needs and goals. Your provider will recommend a schedule that makes sense for you.
No. B12 shots can support a wellness routine, but they are not a substitute for balanced nutrition, sleep, and regular care from your primary care provider.
