Q: What is a Vitamin B12 shot?

A Vitamin B12 shot is an injection of Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) directly into the muscle, typically the upper arm or thigh. It is used to treat or prevent Vitamin B12 deficiency, which is crucial for red blood cell production, nerve function, and DNA synthesis.

Q: Who should get a Vitamin B12 shot?

Individuals who may benefit from Vitamin B12 shots include: People with diagnosed Vitamin B12 deficiency. Those with conditions affecting B12 absorption (e.g., Crohn’s disease, celiac disease). Older adults with decreased natural absorption. Vegetarians and vegans who may not get enough B12 from their diet. Individuals who have undergone certain surgeries affecting nutrient absorption.

Q: How often do I need Vitamin B12 shots?

The frequency of Vitamin B12 shots depends on the individual’s health status and the severity of the deficiency. Initial treatment may involve weekly or monthly injections. Once B12 levels are normalized, maintenance shots may be required every few months or as recommended by a healthcare provider.

Q: How is a Vitamin B12 shot administered?

A Vitamin B12 shot is administered intramuscularly (into the muscle), usually in the upper arm or thigh. The procedure is relatively quick and involves a needle and syringe. The injection site is cleaned beforehand, and the injection is given in a single, straightforward step.

The exceptional, highest quality care, products & technique that has always been experienced at NOVA Concierge is now matched by the dazzling new offices. I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Zaidi - she is quite simply exactly what the industry has been missing. Her expertise, eye for detail, & genuine warmth put any anxieties to rest. You will be thrilled with your results!

Flew in from Chicago to have this doctor assess and treat my lax and old skin! Dr. Zaidi was most definitely worth the trip! She was so caring, willing to listen so rare to find in a doctor. She gave me all the options and prices before we started anything and wasn't pushy. She took time to understand my face and my needs.

Came here because they just opened up in the same building. I’m so happy, a lot of my clients I sent over also love Dr Z. She is the kindest person I have met and my clients love her so much. She is so knowledgeable on everything and even more. I trust only Dr Z for all my needs. I got some fillers and Botulinum Toxin but I didn’t know what I needed when I went in but she was thorough and explained the anatomy, and why I needed what. She also kept telling me to be real and that miracles don’t happen after one visit. I’ll definitely be back she’s worth it. Also reasonable priced compared to other areas.

After waiting years to find a reputable and quality service for laser hair removal, I was so pleased to have found Dr. Zaidi’s services. She did an amazing job with my treatment. It was painless, clean & efficient. The office ambiance is so eloquent, the equipment is top notch. You really are getting a luxury experience from check in, to check out. Thank you, and can’t wait for my next appt! I highly recommended checking this secret gem out for your medical and/or aesthetic needs.

I’ve been very happy with all the procedures I have received from Dr. Zaidi. She and her staff are professional and super friendly. Dr. Zaidi takes the time to explain everything and doesn’t pressure me to do something she may suggest. The new office is exquisite and I like going there for my visits.

I met Dr. Zaidi through a friend whose recommendations I trust. Never thought I’d be a Botulinum Toxin / filler “girl”, and explained all my concerns about looking unnatural. She understood and reassured me, so I decided to take the plunge. I’m so glad I did! The treatments were exactly what I was looking for, natural but improved. Subtle, yet such a difference!! I wish I had met her years ago. I’ve already referred a friend who loves her and the treatments as well. I’m back for a halo treatment and RF micro needling to address my neck and décolleté area, damaged from decades of sun exposure. I have every confidence in her ability to help me feel more confident about myself.
