About Vitamin B-12
Not feeling fabulous no matter what your diet, sleep, and exercise are doing for your energy levels? You could be Vitamin B-12 deficient. While foods like meat, fish, and dairy products are a great source of Vitamin B-12, some people need a little bit more. Our double board-certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Suzanne Trott, provides her patients of all ages with Vitamin B-12 injections to supplement their diet with these energizing shots to boost mood, energy, and cognitive function. If you are feeling a little bit more run down than usual or can't shake the feeling of fatigue, give us a call if you're interested in making an appointment for your B12 injection. She may recommend these injections once a month for you to have more and better energy reserves. Call and schedule your appointment in her Beverly Hills, CA office today.

Best Candidates
Candidates for Vitamin B-12 injections may experience some of the following symptoms:
- Feeling sleepy (even after a good night's sleep) or fatigued
- Easily tired
- Lack of concentration
- Poor diet
- Irregular bowel movements
What to Expect
Your appointment to have the Vitamin B-12 shot should be quick and easy. The injection is administered directly into the muscle of the thigh or the upper arm so that it can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. A Vitamin B-12 injection will cause a stinging sensation as most injections do. To maintain a higher level of Vitamin B-12, our doctor may recommend additional injections every 3 – 6 months.
Other Considerations
The injection site may be sore, itchy, or swollen after your visit to our office. This is a normal reaction in the skin. It is important to take good care of yourself before and after injections to avoid more side effects. For example, it is not a good idea to drink alcohol the night before the injection or hours after so you will not have serious side effects. Please call our office if you have any questions or feel like you are having a reaction to the medication.
