Vitamin Injections

Vitamin Injections in Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole | Lisa Kendall Medical Aesthetic Nurse

Feeling fatigued, run-down or noticing your skin losing its glow? Sometimes diet and oral supplements simply aren’t enough. At Lisa Kendall Medical Aesthetics, serving Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and the wider Dorset coast, Independent Nurse Prescriber Lisa Kendall delivers targeted vitamin injections directly into your bloodstream or muscle tissue for rapid absorption, immediate bioavailability and tangible results you can feel and see.

What Are Vitamin Injections?

Vitamin injections are intramuscular (IM) or intravenous (IV) treatments that deliver essential vitamins, antioxidants and coenzymes directly into the body—bypassing the digestive system entirely. Unlike oral supplements, which must survive stomach acid and intestinal absorption barriers, injections ensure 100% bioavailability. This means your cells receive the full dose immediately, making it the most efficient way to correct deficiencies, boost energy and support skin health.

The Benefits of Vitamin Injections

  • Rapid absorption – Nutrients enter the bloodstream instantly, bypassing gut absorption issues.
  • Higher potency – Achieve therapeutic doses impossible to reach through diet or tablets alone.
  • Visible skin benefits – Improved radiance, collagen support, hydration and reduced inflammation.
  • Sustained energy – Combat fatigue, brain fog and low mood at a cellular level.
  • Immune support – Strengthen your body's natural defences.
  • Hair and nail strength – Targeted biotin and B-complex protocols promote keratin production.
  • Anti-ageing support – Antioxidant protection against oxidative stress and cellular ageing.

The Vitamin Injection Menu at Lisa Kendall Medical Aesthetics

Lisa offers a curated range of medical-grade vitamin injections, each selected for specific wellness goals, skin concerns and lifestyle needs. During your free face-to-face consultation in Bournemouth, Lisa will assess your symptoms, medical history and objectives to recommend the optimal protocol—or combination—for you.

  • Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin/Hydroxocobalamin)

Best for: Energy, mood, brain fog, immune support and healthy skin, hair and nails

Vitamin B12 is essential for red blood cell formation, neurological function and DNA synthesis. Deficiency is surprisingly common in the UK, affecting approximately 6% of adults under 60 and up to 20% of those over 60.

The most common causes include pernicious anaemia, vegan or vegetarian diets, digestive absorption disorders and ageing-related reduced stomach acid production. Source

You should consider B12 injections if you experience:

  • Persistent fatigue, weakness or low stamina
  • Brain fog, poor memory or difficulty concentrating
  • Low mood, anxiety or irritability
  • Tingling or numbness in hands and feet
  • Pale skin, brittle nails or hair thinning
  • You follow a plant-based diet or have a digestive condition affecting absorption
  • Treatment frequency: Initially every week for 4 to 6 weeks, followed by maintenance every 1 to 3 months depending on your levels and lifestyle.
  • Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)

Best for: Skin brightening, collagen synthesis, antioxidant protection and immune defence

Vitamin C is one of the most potent antioxidants in the skin. It neutralises free radicals caused by UV exposure and pollution, inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase to reduce melanin production (tackling hyperpigmentation), and acts as a vital cofactor in collagen synthesis—the protein that keeps skin firm, plump and youthful.

You should consider Vitamin C injections if you:

  • Want to brighten dull, uneven skin tone and reduce dark spots
  • Are concerned about fine lines, skin laxity or premature ageing
  • Need immune support during stressful periods or winter months
  • Want to accelerate healing and reduce scarring after aesthetic procedures
  • Seek antioxidant protection against environmental damage and oxidative stress
  • Treatment frequency: Weekly to fortnightly for a course of 4 to 6 sessions, followed by monthly maintenance for sustained radiance.
  • Biotin (Vitamin B7)

Best for: Hair growth, nail strength and skin barrier health

Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin that plays a critical role in keratin infrastructure—the protein that forms your hair, skin and nails. While true biotin deficiency is rare, many patients notice significant improvements in hair thickness, reduced shedding and stronger nails when receiving therapeutic biotin injections. It also supports a healthy skin barrier, reducing dryness and sensitivity.

You should consider Biotin injections if you:

  • Experience hair thinning, breakage or slow growth
  • Have brittle, splitting or weak nails
  • Suffer from dry, flaky or irritated skin
  • Want to optimise hair and nail health before a special event
  • Have recently undergone stress, illness or postpartum changes affecting hair quality
  • Treatment frequency: Weekly for 4 to 6 weeks, then monthly maintenance. Biotin pairs exceptionally well with B12 and B5 in a combined B-complex injection.
  • Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)

Best for: Stress resilience, skin hydration, wound healing and hormonal skin balance

Vitamin B5 is essential for synthesising coenzyme A, which your body uses to produce energy and metabolise fats. In aesthetics, B5 is prized for its ability to support the skin’s natural barrier function, promote wound healing and regulate sebum production—making it ideal for acne-prone or stressed complexions. It also helps the body manage cortisol, supporting stress resilience from the inside out.

You should consider B5 injections if you:

  • Have acne-prone, congested or hormonally triggered skin
  • Feel chronically stressed or burned out
  • Want to improve skin hydration and softness
  • Need support for wound healing or post-procedure recovery
  • Want to enhance fat metabolism as part of a wellness programme
  • Treatment frequency: Weekly to fortnightly, often combined with B12 and B7 for comprehensive B-complex support.
  • NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)

Best for: Cellular energy, cognitive clarity, anti-ageing at the cellular level and metabolic optimisation

NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every living cell of your body. It is fundamental to converting nutrients into cellular energy (ATP), repairing DNA damage and regulating circadian rhythms. Unfortunately, NAD+ levels decline by up to 50% by middle age, contributing to fatigue, cognitive slowing, reduced metabolic efficiency and visible signs of ageing.

NAD+ injections deliver this vital molecule directly into the bloodstream or muscle, bypassing the need for your body to convert precursors like NMN or NR.

You should consider NAD+ injections if you:

  • Suffer from chronic fatigue or low stamina despite adequate sleep
  • Experience brain fog, poor concentration or memory lapses
  • Want proactive, science-backed anti-ageing and longevity support
  • Are recovering from illness, surgery or intense physical training
  • Seek to optimise metabolic health and cellular detoxification
  • Want to enhance the results of aesthetic treatments like microneedling or laser by accelerating cellular repair
  • Treatment frequency: Weekly for 4 to 6 weeks as an initial loading phase, followed by monthly maintenance injections to sustain optimal cellular levels.

Can Vitamin Injections Be Combined?

Yes—many of Lisa’s vitamin protocols are designed to be combined in a single session for synergistic benefits, provided the total volume and compatibility are medically appropriate.

Safe and Popular Combinations

  • The B-Complex Blend (B12 + B5 + B7): The B vitamins are water-soluble and work synergistically to support energy metabolism, nervous system health, skin clarity and keratin production. Lisa frequently combines B12, B5 and Biotin into a single intramuscular injection for patients seeking a comprehensive wellness boost. This is ideal if you want energy, better skin and stronger hair and nails in one efficient appointment.
  • Vitamin C + B12: Vitamin C and B12 can be administered in the same session, though typically via separate injection sites. This combination is popular for patients seeking both immune support and skin radiance, or those recovering from illness who need antioxidant protection alongside energy restoration.
  • NAD+ as a Standalone Protocol Due to its specific dosage requirements and the nature of the coenzyme, NAD+ is generally administered as a standalone injection or as part of a dedicated wellness course. It can, however, be scheduled within the same week as your B-complex or Vitamin C treatment under Lisa's personalised protocol guidance.
  • During your consultation, Lisa will discuss your goals, lifestyle and any current medications to design a safe, bespoke combination plan that maximises results without overloading your system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vitamin injections deliver essential nutrients directly into your bloodstream or muscle tissue, completely bypassing the digestive system. When you take vitamins orally, they must survive stomach acid and intestinal absorption barriers—meaning your body may only utilise a fraction of the dose. Injections ensure 100% bioavailability, allowing your cells to receive the full therapeutic benefit immediately. This makes them significantly more effective for correcting deficiencies, boosting energy and supporting skin health than tablets or capsules alone.

At Lisa Kendall Medical Aesthetics, we offer a curated menu of medical-grade vitamin injections tailored to your specific wellness goals:

  • Vitamin B12 (Hydroxocobalamin) – For energy, mood, brain fog and immune support
  • Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) – For skin brightening, collagen synthesis and antioxidant protection
  • Biotin (Vitamin B7) – For hair growth, nail strength and skin barrier health
  • Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) – For stress resilience, skin hydration and hormonal balance
  • NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) – For cellular energy, cognitive clarity and anti-ageing at the cellular level

You should consider B12 injections if you experience persistent fatigue, brain fog, low mood, tingling in your hands or feet, or if you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet. B12 deficiency is common in the UK, particularly among those with digestive absorption issues, pernicious anaemia or reduced stomach acid due to ageing. B12 is essential for red blood cell formation, neurological function and healthy skin, hair and nails.

Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidants for the skin. When delivered via injection, it brightens dull, uneven skin tone, reduces hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production, and acts as a critical cofactor in collagen synthesis—keeping skin firm, plump and youthful. It also strengthens your immune system and protects against environmental damage from UV exposure and pollution. Vitamin C injections are ideal if you want radiant skin, anti-ageing support or accelerated healing after aesthetic procedures.

Yes. Biotin (Vitamin B7) injections are specifically designed to support keratin infrastructure—the protein that forms your hair, skin and nails. Many patients notice thicker, stronger hair, reduced shedding and significantly improved nail quality after a course of biotin injections. This is particularly beneficial after periods of stress, illness, postpartum changes or if you simply want to optimise your hair and nail health before a special occasion.

NAD+ is a coenzyme present in every cell of your body, responsible for converting nutrients into cellular energy, repairing DNA and regulating your biological clock. Unfortunately, NAD+ levels decline by up to 50% by middle age, contributing to fatigue, cognitive slowing, reduced metabolic efficiency and accelerated ageing. NAD+ injections restore these levels directly, supporting cellular energy, mental clarity, detoxification and longevity. It is one of the most advanced wellness treatments available in aesthetic medicine today.

Yes—many vitamins can be safely combined for synergistic benefits. Lisa frequently administers a B-Complex Blend combining B12, B5 and Biotin in a single intramuscular injection for comprehensive energy, skin and hair support. Vitamin C and B12 can also be delivered in the same session, typically via separate injection sites. However, NAD+ is generally administered as a standalone protocol due to its specific dosage requirements. During your consultation, Lisa will design a safe, personalised combination plan based on your goals and medical history.

This depends on the vitamin and your individual deficiency status. Many patients report a noticeable energy boost within 24 to 48 hours after their first B12 injection. Skin brightening from Vitamin C typically becomes visible after 2 to 3 sessions. Hair and nail improvements from Biotin usually appear after 4 to 6 weeks of consistent treatment. NAD+ effects on cognitive clarity and stamina often build progressively over a course of 4 to 6 weekly sessions.

Results vary depending on the vitamin, your metabolism, lifestyle and whether you maintain a healthy diet. Generally:

  • B12: Effects last 1 to 3 months; maintenance injections recommended monthly or quarterly
  • Vitamin C: Benefits persist for 2 to 4 weeks; monthly maintenance sustains radiance
  • Biotin: Visible improvements last with ongoing monthly maintenance
  • B5: Regular sessions every 2 to 4 weeks support sustained stress resilience and skin health
  • NAD+: Initial loading course of 4 to 6 weekly sessions, followed by monthly maintenance to sustain cellular levels

When administered by a qualified medical professional, vitamin injections are very safe. The vitamins used are water-soluble (with the exception of Vitamin C in very high doses), meaning your body excretes any excess naturally. Lisa conducts a thorough medical history review and face-to-face consultation before treatment to ensure there are no contraindications, such as certain kidney conditions, allergies or pregnancy.

Vitamin injections are not suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain kidney disorders, have a known allergy to any of the ingredients, or are taking specific medications that may interact. During your free consultation in Bournemouth, Lisa will review your full medical history to confirm your suitability and recommend the safest protocol for you.

For most aesthetic wellness protocols, a blood test is not mandatory unless you have symptoms suggesting a severe deficiency or underlying medical condition. However, Lisa may recommend baseline blood work for B12 or iron levels if you report significant fatigue, neurological symptoms or have a history of anaemia. This ensures your treatment is both safe and precisely targeted.

Intramuscular (IM) injections are administered into the muscle (typically the upper arm or buttock), allowing the vitamin to absorb gradually into the bloodstream over several hours. They are quick, efficient and ideal for most aesthetic wellness protocols. Intravenous (IV) injections or drips deliver vitamins directly into the vein for immediate, 100% bioavailability and are typically used for higher-dose protocols or NAD+ therapy. Lisa will advise which delivery method is most appropriate for your chosen treatment.

No. Vitamin injections are designed to supplement a balanced diet, not replace it. They are particularly valuable when your body cannot absorb sufficient nutrients from food alone due to digestive issues, high stress levels, ageing or increased physiological demands. Think of them as a targeted boost that bridges the gap between your dietary intake and your body’s optimal requirements.

Disclaimer: Vitamin injections are medical treatments that may not be suitable for everyone. A face-to-face consultation and medical history review are required before treatment. Results vary between individuals. Lisa Kendall is a registered Independent Nurse Prescriber operating within UK healthcare regulations. Vitamin injections are not a substitute for a balanced diet or medical treatment of diagnosed conditions.
