Many feel a difference within days, although results vary by individual and vitamin.

All vitamin injections at Prestige Skin are administered by Abby Cornick, an NMC Registered Specialist Community Public Health Nurse and Midwife, in a safe, professional clinic environment. These treatments are intended to support general wellbeing and are not a substitute for medical care. If you suspect you have a deficiency, please see your GP.

Studies have shown that oral supplements are less effective than injections, as the body only receives 15% of the actual vitamin.

Biotin belongs to the B-group family of vitamins. It’s sometimes known as vitamin B7. We need biotin for; processing the nutrients from our food; energy release; healthy hair, skin and mucous membranes; normal nervous system and mental health. Biotin is a water-soluble nutrient, so we can’t store it in our body, but the bacteria that live in our guts can produce a small amount. Biotin is also found in a wide variety of foods, including liver, egg yolks and yeast.

Biotin has an important role in supporting the enzymes that break down the fat, protein and carbohydrates from the food we eat, turning them into energy. Biotin also helps us maintain normal healthy hair and skin. Our bodies use it to enable cells to reproduce properly, and skin and hair have a high cell-turnover. Together with other B vitamins, biotin also supports normal psychological and nervous system function by helping to maintain neurons in the brain.

The best animal-based sources of biotin include:

beef liver

cooked eggs – absorption of biotin is blocked by a protein in raw egg whites

salmon

pork

dairy products such as milk and cheese

The best plant-based sources of biotin include:

sweet potato

roasted almonds

spinach

broccoli

bananas

Biotin deficiency is very rare because it is found in so many foods. If it does occur, symptoms include:

hair loss

dry, flaky skin

a rash on the face

tiredness and muscle pain

depression

Incredibly safe. Before we administer anything to you we will carry out a thorough consultation and calculate the correct dose. All our procedures are carried out by our qualified and experienced NMC Nurse at our clinic in Dry Drayton, Cambridge.

Perfectly safe. Because the injection goes directly into your bloodstream, it is much more gentle on the stomach when your body metabolises it.

Vitamin injections are not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding without prior GP approval
