TREATMENT DESCRIPTION
Vitamin B12 injections deliver this essential vitamin directly into the muscle, bypassing the digestive system for fast, effective absorption.

As a prescription-only treatment, B12 injections must be assessed and prescribed by a qualified independent prescriber before administration. Arielle carries out this assessment personally for every client, ensuring the treatment is appropriate and safe for you specifically, not just administered as a blanket wellness treatment.

Understanding B12 Vitamin Injections
What are B12 injections and how do they work?
A Vitamin B12 injection delivers the essential vitamin directly into the muscle, bypassing the digestive system entirely. For some people, this matters significantly — certain medical conditions and even some medications can interfere with the body's ability to absorb B12 from food and oral supplements, making injection a far more effective route for restoring optimal levels.
B12 is essential for maintaining energy levels, supporting healthy red blood cell production, and contributing to normal nervous system and cognitive function. A deficiency can develop gradually and often shows up as persistent tiredness, poor concentration, low mood, or even numbness and tingling in the hands and feet.
Why is B12 a prescription-only treatment?
B12 injections are classified as a prescription-only medicine in the UK, meaning they must be assessed and prescribed by a qualified prescriber before being administered. This isn't simply a regulatory formality — it ensures that the person giving you the injection has properly considered your individual health history and confirmed the treatment is appropriate for you. Arielle's qualification as an independent prescriber means she can carry out this entire process herself, from assessment to administration.
Do I need a confirmed deficiency to have a B12 injection?
Not necessarily. While a blood test from your GP can confirm a clinical deficiency, B12 injections can also be appropriate for clients experiencing mild symptoms of low energy or fatigue without a formally diagnosed deficiency. Arielle will discuss your symptoms and medical history at consultation to determine whether the treatment is suitable for you.
