Vitamin Injections in Worthing: B12, Vitamin D & Biotin Explained

September 22, 20253 min read

Vitamin injections such as B12, Vitamin D and Biotin are offered at Bluebird Aesthetics in Worthing following a medical consultation to ensure safety and suitability.

These intramuscular (IM) boosters are a quick and effective way to support energy, immunity, and skin health — especially for those with dietary gaps or absorption issues. Unlike IV drips, which require CQC registration and fall outside the scope of aesthetic practice, vitamin injections are safe, simple, and medically appropriate when administered by a qualified practitioner like Dr Amber Halliday.

B12

Biotin B7

Vitamin D

What it is / How it works

Vitamin injections deliver essential nutrients directly into the muscle, bypassing the digestive system. This allows for faster absorption and more reliable uptake — especially helpful for those with gut issues or dietary restrictions.

Common boosters include:

  • Vitamin B12: Supports energy, mood, metabolism and red blood cell production

  • Biotin (Vitamin B7): Promotes healthy hair, skin and nails; supports metabolism

  • Vitamin D: Essential for bone health, immunity and hormone regulation

Each injection takes just a few minutes and is administered in the upper arm or thigh.

Who is it for / suitability

Vitamin injections may be suitable for:

  • Vegans or vegetarians (especially for B12)

  • Individuals with low sun exposure (Vitamin D)

  • Clients experiencing fatigue, brain fog or poor skin/hair quality

  • Those with absorption issues or diagnosed deficiencies

A medical consultation is always required to assess suitability and avoid unnecessary supplementation.

What to expect

  • A short appointment (5–10 minutes)

  • A quick injection into the muscle — mild sting or pressure

  • No downtime; you can return to normal activities immediately

  • Effects may be felt within hours to days depending on your baseline levels

Dr Halliday will guide you through the process and answer any questions during your consultation.
