B12 Shots
at Our Frankfort Clinic

Vitamin B12 injection for energy boost and enhanced wellness at Express MedSpa

Express Med Spa’s Frankfort location is a full-service medical spa and one of the most accessible places to get a B12 shot in the southwest suburbs. You don’t need an appointment, walk in during open hours and a member of our medical team will get you in and out, usually in under fifteen minutes. We also accept same-day online bookings if you’d prefer a set time.
Every B12 shot at our Frankfort clinic is administered by a licensed clinician under the supervision of our founder and Nurse Practitioner, Stefanie Drozd, APRN. We use methylcobalamin the bioactive form of vitamin B12 that your body can use immediately, without needing to convert it first. That matters: most pharmacy B12 shots use cyanocobalamin, which is cheaper but requires your liver to do extra work before you feel anything.
If you’re already coming in for IV hydration, weight loss support, or hormone replacement therapy, ask us to add a B12 shot to your visit. It’s a quick add-on and one of the most popular pairings on our menu

What Is a B12 Shot?

A B12 shot is an intramuscular injection of vitamin B12 — usually delivered into the upper arm or hip. Because it bypasses your digestive system, the B12 absorbs at near-100% rates and goes to work right away. Oral B12 supplements, by contrast, get absorbed at roughly 1–5% in healthy adults and even less in people with gut absorption issues, gastric bypass, or on long-term metformin or acid reflux medication. Vitamin B12 is essential for red blood cell production, nerve function, DNA synthesis, and converting the food you eat into usable energy. Your body doesn’t make B12 on its own — you get it from animal products (meat, fish, eggs, dairy) or supplementation. When B12 runs low, the symptoms are often vague enough to get blamed on something else: persistent fatigue, brain fog, low mood, weakness, tingling in the hands or feet, shortness of breath, and difficulty losing weight. A B12 shot doesn’t just top off the tank — it pushes B12 levels high enough that your body can rebuild the systems that were running low. Most patients notice the difference within two days and feel the full effect within a week.

Benefits of B12 Shots

Increased energy and reduced fatigue

B12 is a direct input in cellular energy production. When levels are sufficient, your mitochondria, the energy factories in every cell — work more efficiently. Patients who were dragging through afternoons often describe the shift as “the static turning off.”

Sharper mental focus and clarity

B12 supports the myelin sheath that insulates your nerves, including the ones in your brain. Adequate B12 is linked to better concentration, faster recall, and reduced brain fog — especially in adults over 40 and in anyone on a plant-forward diet.

Support for Healthy Weight Loss

B12 doesn’t burn fat on its own, but it makes everything that does work better. Better energy means better workouts. Better metabolism means more efficient calorie use. Better mood means fewer stress-eating episodes. B12 shots pair especially well with our medical weight loss program.

Stronger immune function

B12 supports the production and function of white blood cells. Patients with low B12 tend to catch more frequent colds and recover more slowly. Restoring levels often results in fewer sick days.

Better mood and reduced stress

Low B12 is a known contributor to depression and anxiety symptoms. The vitamin plays a role in producing serotonin and dopamine — your brain’s primary mood regulators. Many of our Frankfort patients report feeling calmer and more even-keeled within a week of starting regular B12 shots.

Methylcobalamin vs. Cyanocobalamin
The B12 We Use

Not all B12 shots are the same. There are two forms used in injections, and the difference matters more than most clinics let on.
Methylcobalamin is the natural, bioactive form of vitamin B12, the form your body actually uses. When you get a methylcobalamin shot, your cells absorb it and put it to work immediately. It’s the form we use at Express Med Spa Frankfort.
Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form that contains a cyanide molecule (in trace, safe amounts). Your liver has to strip the cyanide off and convert the rest into methylcobalamin before your body can use it. It’s cheaper, more shelf-stable, and it’s what most pharmacy B12 shots and over-the-counter supplements contain. It works, but it works slower and less efficiently, especially for patients with liver, kidney, or methylation issues.
For most patients looking for noticeable, fast-acting effects, methylcobalamin is the right choice. If you’ve tried B12 shots elsewhere and felt nothing, there’s a real chance you got cyanocobalamin and a real chance methylcobalamin will feel different.

Who Should Get a B12 Shot?

You’re a strong candidate for B12 injections if you experience any of the following:

Persistent fatigue that sleep doesn’t fix
Brain fog, forgetfulness, or trouble concentrating
Low mood, anxiety, or stress that feels disproportionate
Difficulty losing weight despite consistent effort
Tingling, numbness, or weakness in hands or feet
Frequent colds or slow recovery from illness
A plant-based, vegetarian, or vegan diet
Age 50+ (B12 absorption naturally declines with age)
A history of gastric bypass, Crohn’s, or celiac disease
Long-term use of metformin, proton pump inhibitors (Prilosec, Nexium), or H2 blockers (Pepcid, Zantac)

If you fit one or more of these, a B12 shot is one of the lowest-risk, fastest-acting interventions available. Talk to our team at your visit, we’ll walk you through whether a single shot, a weekly series, or our monthly membership makes the most sense for you.

What to Expect
at Your Frankfort Visit

Your first B12 shot at Express Med Spa Frankfort takes about fifteen minutes from door to door.

Check in — at the front desk with Vicki or Autumn, our patient coordinators. If you walked in without an appointment, we’ll fit you into the next open slot, usually within ten minutes.
Quick intake — a short form covering current medications, allergies, and what you’re hoping to get out of the shot. If it’s your first visit, you’ll also sign a basic consent.
The shot — administered into your upper arm or hip by a member of our medical team. The injection itself takes about five seconds; you’ll feel a quick pinch and that’s it.
You’re done — no recovery time, no restrictions. You can drive, work out, eat normally, and go straight back to your day.

Follow-up shots take even less time — most regulars are in and out in under ten minutes. If you’re adding the shot to another service (IV therapy, weight loss visit, Botox), there’s no extra time added at all.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take walk-ins for B12 shots in Frankfort?

Yes, walk in any day during open hours and we’ll get you in for a B12 shot, usually within ten minutes of arrival. No appointment is needed. If you’d prefer a set time, you can also book online.

How much does a B12 shot cost?

Pricing varies depending on whether you’re getting a single shot, a series, or signing up for our monthly membership. Our team will walk you through the options at your visit, or you can call us at (877) 363-3772 ahead of time.

How often should I get a B12 shot?

For most patients, a weekly shot for the first four weeks builds B12 levels back up, followed by maintenance shots every two to four weeks. We’ll tailor the schedule based on your symptoms, diet, age, and any medications you’re on.

How long does a B12 shot last in your system?

A single methylcobalamin B12 shot continues to deliver benefits for roughly two to four weeks, with peak effects in the first week and a gradual taper after. Most patients schedule their next shot before the previous one fully wears off to keep levels steady.

Can B12 shots help with weight loss?

B12 shots don’t burn fat directly, but they support energy, metabolism, and mood — three things that make weight loss significantly easier to stick with. Many of our Frankfort weight loss patients add B12 shots to their program for exactly this reason.

Are there side effects of B12 injections?

B12 shots are one of the safest injectables available. Most patients have no side effects. Mild, short-lived reactions can include soreness at the injection site, a brief flushing sensation, or, very rarely, mild nausea. Serious side effects are extremely rare. We’ll review your medications and any allergies at intake.

What are the signs you need a B12 shot?

Persistent fatigue, brain fog, low mood, difficulty losing weight, tingling in the hands or feet, frequent illness, or feeling generally “off” despite eating well and sleeping enough. If any of those sound familiar — especially if you’re vegetarian, over 50, or on long-term acid reflux or diabetes medication — a B12 shot is a low-risk way to find out if low B12 is part of the picture.

B12 shots vs. oral B12 supplements — what’s the difference?

Oral B12 supplements are absorbed at roughly 1–5% in healthy adults, and even less in people with gut absorption issues. B12 shots bypass the digestive system entirely and absorb at near-100%. If you’ve been taking oral B12 and not feeling a difference, a shot is the most reliable way to find out whether the issue is your B12 levels or something else.

What Our Frankfort Patients Say
Why Clients Trust Express Med Spa

Our licensed Nurse Practitioners and estheticians have performed thousands of skin resurfacing treatments. Clients return to Express Med Spa for our gentle approach, advanced equipment, and personalized care across all four Chicagoland locations.

“This place is legit the best. Even after moving from Chicago, I fly in from Vegas to get services and it is totally worth it. Vegas has some of the top med services and surgeons in the country, but pales in comparison to Stef & her staff. My daughter and her friends also drive from Indiana & Michigan on the regular. My niece originally told my daughter, who then told me about them and I couldn’t be happier. From B-12 shots to Botox to thread lifts, they are always on the cutting edge of new products & procedures. And my daughter swears she is the only one she will let fill her lips, so natural you can’t even tell. Cannot recommend enough.”

Google Review

“I wish google allowed video reviews because I can't even begin to put into words how amazing my experience has been with Express Med Spa. I had connected with Express Med Spa through their “Be Well Package” in hopes of losing weight due to a recent dive in my annual blood work with my GP. Not only have I lost 25lbs since September (without a prescription) but the B12 and Vitamin D injections have allowed me to be migraine free for months (something that has not happened in over 20 years). I feel great and have seen a significant shift in my mood. I highly recommend Express Med Spa!!!**My daughter also had her ears pierced at Express Med Spa – they did a great job calming her nerves and she left so happy!!!”
