Please note: In line with TGA regulations, we cannot provide detailed treatment information online; a consultation with a practitioner is required to assess your skin, discuss options and pricing, and create a personalised treatment plan specifically for you.

In accordance with Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations, we are unable to provide detailed information about specific treatments online. Such information may be misinterpreted as the promotion of prescription-only (Schedule 4) medications – this is not permitted under TGA guidelines.

For this reason, a consultation with one of our practitioners is required. During your comprehensive consultation, your practitioner will carefully assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and provide education around suitable treatment options. A personalised treatment plan will then be created to address your individual needs.

Treatment costs will vary depending on your tailored plan and will be discussed with you in detail during your consultation.

Understanding Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is a water-soluble vitamin found primarily in animal-based foods such as meat, eggs, and dairy.

It supports:

  • Healthy red blood cell production
  • Nervous system and cognitive function
  • Energy metabolism
  • DNA synthesis and cellular repair

When B12 levels drop, individuals may experience fatigue, low mood, poor concentration, or tingling in the hands and feet. However, symptoms vary between people and low levels should be confirmed by a healthcare provider.

Who may be suitable for this treatment:
  • B12 treatment may be considered for individuals who:
  • Have medically confirmed Vitamin B12 deficiency
  • Follow a vegetarian or vegan diet
  • Have gastrointestinal or autoimmune conditions that affect absorption (e.g. coeliac disease, pernicious anaemia)
  • Take certain medications that impact absorption

Your Youth Lab practitioner will assess your suitability and may recommend follow-up with your GP for ongoing monitoring.

If available, please bring recent blood test results or a referral to your consultation.


FAQs

What does the treatment involve?

Prior to any treatment, a thorough consultation and treatment planning with your doctor or nurse will determine your suitability to the treatment and assess expectations.

If VitaminB12 treatment is considered suitable, it is administered by a trained practitioner in a clinical setting using sterile, single-use equipment.  

The procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes and involves intramuscular administration.

How long do results last?

Response varies between individuals. Some people prefer a short course of treatments, while others return periodically depending on lifestyle, diet, and health factors.

Your practitioner will recommend an appropriate treatment schedule for your needs.

What happens after my treatment?

You’ll be asked to remain in the clinic for a short observation period following treatment.
Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site can occur and usually resolves quickly.

You can resume normal activities straight after your appointment.

With any medical procedure, there are always risks involved and your doctor/nurse will discuss all risks and contraindications prior to performing any procedure.

There are side effects associated with this treatment. These may include but are not limited to:
