Did you know that a vitamin B-12 deficiency can cause a range of symptoms that affect your quality of life? B-12 injections are a great way to ensure that your body has enough of this key nutrient. At SurgiCare Arts & Aesthetics, Angelina Postoev, MD, FACS, a triple board-certified plastic surgeon, and Christopher Ibikunle, MD, FACS, offer B-12 injections for men and women in Lawrenceville, Suwanee, Johns Creek, and the surrounding areas of Georgia.

Because our bodies alone don’t make B-12, consumption of animal-based foods, dairy products, and fish is necessary. It is also available in fortified grains like breakfast cereals, as well as soy products. For people who don’t eat these types of food or who have gone through weight loss surgery, deficiency of B-12 is expected, and supplements may not help enough. However, those with particular diets or who have undergone weigh loss surgery aren’t alone. Many people are deficient in vitamin B-12, and with age, it becomes harder for bodies to absorb it – explaining why fatigued and inexplicable aches and pains are common complaints.

What Are the Benefits of B-12 Injections?

Injections containing high doses of vitamin B-12 are used to quickly elevate a deficient person’s levels. Upon treatment, patients should experience improved moods, higher energy and greater cognitive focus. Once diet is improved to include B-12, or a B-12 supplement or injection is taken, patients perk right up and have a ton of energy to get up and get moving – which is why B-12 injections are offered with our weight loss and wellness program. While vitamin B-12 does not actually eliminate or burn fat, it gives people the energy to get off the couch and be more active to support weight loss. For optimal results, we recommend B-12 injections once a week.
