While dermal fillers are generally safe when administered by a qualified professional, they’re not suitable for everyone
Avoid if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have active skin infections (e.g. cold sores, acne breakouts, or open wounds) in the treatment area
- Have a known allergy to hyaluronic acid, lidocaine, or any filler ingredients
- Have certain autoimmune or bleeding disorders (consultation required)
- Are undergoing dental work or facial surgery close to your treatment date (due to swelling or infection risk)
- Have had recent facial treatments (e.g. peels or microneedling) without enough recovery time
- The frequency and number of vitamin B12 injections depend on your current B12 levels, symptoms, and whether you’re addressing a deficiency or looking for a wellness boost. A consultation will identify if you require:
- Loading phase: 1 injection every week for 6 weeks (sometimes 5–10 injections recommended).
- Maintenance: 1 injection every 1–3 months, depending on medical advice.
Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in keeping your body and mind functioning at their best, but many people don’t get enough through diet alone. A B12 injection delivers the vitamin directly into the bloodstream, offering fast and effective results that oral supplements often can’t match. Some benefits include: Increased Energy & Reduced Fatigue, Improved Mood & Mental Clarity, Supports Red Blood Cell Production, Boosts Immune System, Supports Metabolism.
1-2 days prior:
- Avoid active skincare ingredients like retinol, AHAs/BHAs, or exfoliants.

- Limit sun exposure and avoid tanning beds.
- Avoid waxing or threading on the face to prevent irritation.
On the Day of Your Appointment:
- Come with clean skin if possible (no makeup or heavy skincare).
- Avoid shaving the area (especially for men) if your skin is sensitive.
