Vitamin Shots

B12 injections improve energy, reduce fatigue, support neurological function and DNA synthesis, and benefit mood. They are particularly effective for patients with B12 deficiency from dietary restriction, pernicious anemia, gastric history, or age-related absorption decline, since intramuscular delivery bypasses the digestive system entirely. Many patients report sharper focus and steadier sleep within the first few injections.

Vitamin B12 is administered as an intramuscular injection, most commonly into the deltoid (upper arm) or gluteus, using a fine 25-gauge needle at a 90-degree angle. The site is cleansed with alcohol, the solution is delivered slowly, and pressure is applied with gauze afterward. The full process takes under 5 minutes and most patients feel only a brief pinch. At Victoria Rose Aesthetics in Pickering, every B12 injection is administered by a VRA injector under medical oversight following a brief health intake, so technique, dose, and frequency match your bloodwork or symptom profile.

For active deficiency, weekly for 4 to 6 weeks, then monthly. For maintenance, monthly. We adjust frequency based on your response, energy levels, and any recent bloodwork.

A B12 shot typically raises blood levels for 1 to 3 months, depending on your baseline deficiency, diet, absorption capacity, and the dose given. Patients with active deficiency or pernicious anemia often need weekly injections for the first 4 to 6 weeks, then monthly maintenance, while those using B12 for energy support usually settle into a monthly cadence. Effects on energy and focus are often felt within 24 to 72 hours and build over the first few injections.

A lipotropic injection contains methionine, inositol, and choline (MIC), compounds that support fat metabolism and liver function. It is used alongside diet and exercise as metabolic support, not as a standalone weight loss treatment, and is administered by a VRA injector under medical oversight.

In Pickering, you can get a vitamin B12 shot at Victoria Rose Aesthetics, administered by a VRA injector under medical oversight in under 15 minutes with no downtime. Each visit includes a brief health intake to confirm formulation, dosing, and maintenance schedule based on your symptoms, current supplements, and any recent bloodwork. Bloodwork is helpful for precise targeting but not required to start. We see patients from Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, and the broader Durham Region for both single injections and ongoing monthly maintenance.

Yes. A vitamin shot can be added to any clinic visit, including Botox, hyaluronic acid filler, facials, or laser treatments, so it fits into a visit you are already making.
