Vitamin B12
Intramuscular B12 delivered directly into the bloodstream — for patients with documented deficiency or those who benefit from direct absorption.
- Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is a water-soluble vitamin essential for red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis.
- Intramuscular injections bypass the digestive system, delivering B12 directly into the bloodstream — particularly useful for those with absorption issues or documented deficiency.
- Available as a standalone appointment or as an add-on to an existing treatment session.

Why it works for you
When B12 injections may be appropriate.
B12 deficiency is more common than it appears — absorption issues, dietary choices, certain medications, and underlying health conditions can all reduce B12 levels. An intramuscular injection bypasses the gut entirely for direct delivery.
Ideal For
- Documented B12 deficiency
- Patients with malabsorption issues (pernicious anaemia, gut conditions)
- Those following plant-based diets who may have reduced dietary B12
- Patients on medications that affect B12 absorption
Does Not Treat
- Weight management — B12 addresses deficiency, not excess weight
- Diagnosed neurological conditions — medical referral required
- General fatigue without assessment — provider evaluation needed first
Injection, not oral — and the difference matters
For patients with malabsorption issues, pernicious anaemia, or gut conditions, oral supplementation may not be effective regardless of dose. An intramuscular injection bypasses the digestive system entirely — delivering B12 directly into the bloodstream.
Standalone or add-on — 5 minutes, no downtime
B12 is one of the simplest treatments at The Skin Clinic. Book a standalone appointment or add it to an existing session. 5–10 minutes, no preparation, return to your day immediately. For patients on a regular protocol, this is a low-friction way to maintain levels without a separate visit.
Not an everyone pick-me-up — your provider assesses first
B12 supplementation is most meaningful for patients with documented deficiency or risk factors for deficiency. Not everyone benefits equally from supplementation. Your provider will assess whether B12 is appropriate for you — and may recommend testing to confirm deficiency before beginning a protocol.
