Intramuscular vitamin injections
We offer intramuscular vitamin injections in Bristol at our south Bristol clinic, including the vitamin C injection Bristol clients book alongside their skin treatments and the biotin injection in Bristol often chosen for hair and nails. Vitamin B12 is also available after assessment.
Step by step
We review your health, medication and allergies to confirm the injection is suitable.
The vitamin is given as an intramuscular injection, usually into the upper arm.
You can return to your day straight away; we explain how often repeat appointments may be appropriate.
Why clients choose it
Where we treat
Before you book
Vitamin injections can be worthwhile if you have a confirmed deficiency or find tablets hard to absorb, because the vitamin goes directly into the muscle. If you eat a balanced diet and are not deficient, you may not notice a difference, so we always start with a consultation.
Vitamin injections are generally safe when given by a trained practitioner after a health check. The most common side effects are a sore arm or mild bruising for a day or two. Tell us about allergies, bleeding disorders or blood-thinning medication.
Injections bypass the digestive system, which can help people who do not absorb vitamins well from food or tablets. For many people, tablets and a good diet are enough, and a blood test can show which option suits you.
Biotin (vitamin B7) helps the body turn food into energy and plays a role in healthy hair, skin and nails. Biotin injections are popular with clients who feel their hair or nails are weak, although results vary and a deficiency is uncommon.
It is not always required, but a blood test can show whether you have a deficiency. We offer Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D blood tests at our Bristol clinic.
