How do I know if I'm a good candidate for plastic surgery?

Good candidates are in good physical health, have realistic expectations, and specific concerns they'd like to address. During your consultation, Dr. Ridha will evaluate your medical history, current health, and aesthetic goals to determine the best approach for you.

What is the recovery time for most procedures?

Recovery varies by procedure. Facial surgeries typically require 1-2 weeks of initial healing, while body procedures may need 2-4 weeks. Dr. Ridha provides detailed recovery timelines and post-operative care instructions tailored to your specific procedure.

How often should I get Botox treatments?

Most patients schedule Botox treatments every 3-4 months to maintain optimal results. The frequency may vary based on your metabolism, muscle strength, and desired outcomes. Regular treatments often extend the duration of results.

B12 Injections

Boost your energy, metabolism, and mental clarity with vitamin B12 injections. This effective treatment delivers essential nutrients directly into your system for immediate absorption and lasting benefits.

About B12 Injections

Vitamin B12 is essential for energy production, nervous system function, red blood cell formation, and DNA synthesis. Many people don't get enough B12 from diet alone, especially vegetarians, older adults, and those with absorption issues. B12 injections deliver this vital nutrient directly into your muscle, bypassing the digestive system for 100% absorption.

Unlike oral supplements that must pass through your digestive tract (where absorption can be as low as 1-2%), B12 injections provide immediate, complete absorption. Many patients notice increased energy, improved mental clarity, and better mood after their injection. Regular B12 treatments can support metabolism, immune function, and overall vitality.

Benefits of B12 Injections

Increased Energy

B12 is essential for converting food into cellular energy. Many patients report significant improvement in fatigue and overall energy levels after treatment.

Improved Metabolism

B12 plays a key role in metabolic function, helping your body efficiently process fats and proteins. This can support weight management goals when combined with healthy lifestyle choices.

Mental Clarity

B12 supports healthy brain function and nervous system activity. Patients often experience improved focus, concentration, and reduced brain fog.

Immune Support

Adequate B12 levels support healthy immune function. Regular injections can help keep your immune system functioning optimally.

Better Sleep

B12 helps regulate your circadian rhythm and sleep patterns. Many patients notice improved sleep quality and more restful nights.

Mood Enhancement

B12 is involved in the production of serotonin and other neurotransmitters that regulate mood. Adequate B12 levels can support emotional well-being.

Are You a Candidate?

B12 injections benefit many people, especially those at risk for deficiency. The best candidates include:

Vegetarians and vegans (B12 is primarily in animal products)

Adults over 50 (absorption decreases with age)

Those experiencing fatigue or low energy

People with digestive conditions affecting absorption

Those taking medications that deplete B12 (metformin, PPIs)

Anyone seeking enhanced energy and mental clarity

Individuals supporting weight loss efforts

Frequently Asked

Common symptoms include persistent fatigue, weakness, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, mood changes, numbness or tingling in hands and feet, pale skin, and shortness of breath. Many people have low B12 levels without obvious symptoms, which is why supplementation can benefit those at risk even before symptoms develop.

B12 injections bypass the digestive system entirely, ensuring 100% absorption directly into your bloodstream. Oral B12 must pass through your stomach and intestines, where absorption can be as low as 1-2%, especially in older adults or those with digestive issues. Injections deliver much higher effective doses.

B12 injections are very safe for most people. The most common side effect is mild soreness at the injection site, which typically resolves quickly. Since B12 is water-soluble, excess amounts are simply excreted in urine. Serious side effects are extremely rare.

Those who benefit most include vegetarians and vegans (B12 is primarily in animal products), adults over 50 (absorption decreases with age), people with digestive conditions like Crohn's or celiac disease, those who've had gastric surgery, and anyone taking medications that deplete B12 such as metformin or proton pump inhibitors.
