B12 Injection
Before Your Visit
Getting ready for your B12 Injection treatment
✦✦✦
Thank you for choosing Aida Medical Aesthetics. Please read these instructions carefully before your B12 Injection appointment — a little preparation helps you get the most beautiful, comfortable result.
- ✓This injection is administered for the treatment of conditions unrelated to pernicious anemia. If diagnosed with Pernicious Anemia (wherein the body struggles to absorb B12 Vitamin from dairy or other foods), referral to a primary care physician for appropriate treatment is necessary.
- ✓Be cautious, as substances like aspirin, Motrin, fish oil, flax seed, high Vitamin A or E doses, Ginko Biloba, or Garlic may lead to undue bleeding and bruising. To minimize bleeding risk, it is recommended to avoid these substances at least three days before the injection.
- ✓Consume a meal or light snack before treatment. Inform the clinician of needle phobia in advance for necessary precautions to enhance treatment comfort.
- ✓Optimal results come with regular treatments, with frequency determined by individual needs, goals, and medical history.
- ✓It’s typical for the injection site to briefly burn, dissipating as the muscle is engaged and the product diffuses.
- ✓While B12 injections don’t directly aid weight loss, the “energy vitamin” nature of B12 can encourage increased exercise among recipients.
- ✓If flu-like symptoms or a respiratory infection occur the day before treatment, reschedule and do the same if any skin condition is noticed in the treatment area.
