Injections

When you squint or frown, the muscles between your eyebrows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. Over time, as your skin ages and loses some of its elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines. Botulinum toxin type A – the active ingredient in Xeomin®– acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these contractions, Xeomin® can temporarily reduce the lines between your eyebrows.

Xeomin® was proven effective in two randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled clinical trials of 547 healthy, adult patients. The average age of patients in the study was 46 years. Patients received 20 Units of Xeomin® and were classified as responders if they had a 2-grade improvement on a 4-point scale as assessed by the physician and patient. Using these criteria, treatment success was higher with Xeomin® than placebo on Day 30 in both studies (60% and 48% vs. 0% for placebo in both studies). Based on these trials, Xeomin® received FDA approval for use in glabellar lines in 2011.

Xeomin is very similar to both BOTOX and Dysport in that it works to relax certain facial muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles. It can be used to address dynamic lines on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes, though it is very important that your injections are performed by a professional for these delicate areas.

The main difference between Xeomin and the other wrinkle relaxers on the market is that Xeomin does not contain any additives — it is pure type A botulinum toxin. This can be beneficial for patients who have used BOTOX or Dysport long-term and have developed antibodies to the additives they contain. 

Boosts The Immune System

A lack of B12 interferes with your body’s ability to produce white blood cells. These cells are essential in fighting off infections and keeping your immune system in good working order. If you find yourself getting sick more often than usual or having allergies where you previously had none, you may need a B12 shot.

Helps Improve Sleep Patterns

B12 injections can help you go from restless nights to getting a good night sleep.

Enhances Healthy Cells in Nails, Hair, and Skin

B12 vitamin reduces acne as well as dry skin. In fact, it contributes to a rejuvenation process that can be great for healthy skin. Also, it influences the growth of strong nails and shiny hair.

Enhances Good Mood and Helps Fight Depression

If you have feelings of hopelessness, guilt, numbness, grief, and loneliness, there’s a chance you’re suffering from depression. Generally, depression is becoming more common among adults in recent years. So, if you’re exhibiting any signs of depression, one of the safest ways to fight this mood disorder is with a B12 shot.

Slows Down Memory Loss

We’ve already touched upon the importance of B12 when it comes to brain function. A deficiency has been strongly linked to impaired cognition and memory loss in older adults.

Vitamin B12 has been linked to improved brain processes, helping your neurons to regenerate the nerve fiber sheaths that work to protect the neuron.

• Weight loss. Many people who look for B12 shots are focused on the weight loss aspect. Many people are unaware that one of the key factors in weight loss is actually nutrient deficiency. Lipotropic B12 shots promote weight loss in multiple ways. They provide an increase in overall energy levels while simultaneously boosting your metabolism, also helping you to burn more fat while you get your physical activity.
• Increased Energy and Better Mood. Lipotropic B12 shots can boost your energy levels in a healthy way, ensuring you get the maximum positive effect from the vitamin.
• Liver Detox. The shots help rid toxins from your liver. This affects your entire body in a positive manner; the better the liver functions, the more efficiently it can eliminate toxins and bad fats.

 While you can get some of these vitamins and nutrients through certain foods or supplements, there is a much higher efficiency rating with injections. By injecting B12 and Lipotropic agents, the nutrients bypass the gastrointestinal tract and get straight to work in the cells that need them.
If you are looking to lose weight, gain more energy, boost your mood, or just live a happier lifestyle, consider looking into lipotropic B12 shots.
