Vitamin Injections
Biotin Shots
Why do I need Biotin?
Also known as Vitamin B7, Biotin improves the base protein Keratin that makes up our hair, skin and nails. Biotin deficiency can cause dry skin, brittle nails and hair and even hair loss, acne and psoriasis. With Biotin injections you will notice a great improvement in the appearance and condition of your skin, hair and nails. It is also an important part of how enzymes in the body break down substances like fats, protein and carbohydrates into energy.
How long does it take to work?
Biotin starts to work immediately but it may take a few days for you to begin to notice the improvement in your symptoms. While some people notice minor improvements after a month or so, it really takes 3-6 months to see meaningful results from Biotin.
