Experiencing hair loss or thinning hair and looking for a solution? Biotin injections might be the solution you’ve been searching for! At Sunrise Family Practice in O’Fallon, IL, we offer biotin shots administered by our family nurse practitioner to help support healthier, stronger hair. While biotin is well-known for its role in hair growth, these injections also provide additional health benefits that can improve overall wellness.
How Biotin Supports Hair Growth
Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7, is essential for keratin production, the protein that makes up hair, skin, and nails. Biotin helps your hair follicles become better nourished, leading to:
- Stronger, thicker hair strands
- Reduced hair breakage and shedding
- Faster hair growth
- Healthier scalp and follicles
- Fuller-looking hair
Other Benefits of Biotin Injections
While biotin shots are a popular option for hair loss and thinning and as part of hair loss treatment plan, it supports many other essential functions in the body, including:
- Stronger nails – Helps prevent brittle, splitting nails
- Healthier skin – Promotes a more radiant complexion
- Boosted metabolism – Supports the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins for energy for easier weight loss
- Improved nervous system function – Aids in nerve health and brain function
Why Choose Biotin Injections Over Supplements?
Many people take over the counter biotin supplements for healthy skin, hair, and nails, but injections offer a direct way to absorb the vitamin, as they bypass the digestive system and go straight into the bloodstream where they’ll be more effective.
While oral supplements are popular, biotin injections offer superior absorption and faster results. Some individuals have trouble absorbing biotin through the digestive system, making injections a better alternative for noticeable improvements in hair and overall health. Oral biotin supplements are also more likely to irritate the stomach and cause digestive issues such as nausea and vomiting.
Where Are Biotin Injections Given?
At Sunrise Family Practice, our nurse practitioner administers biotin injections intramuscularly (IM), typically in the upper arm, hip, or thigh for optimal absorption and effectiveness.
