What Are Vitamin Injections?
Vitamin injections are quick, targeted intramuscular (IM) shots that deliver essential nutrients directly into the muscle tissue for rapid absorption into the bloodstream. Unlike oral supplements that are filtered through the digestive system — and lose a significant portion of their effectiveness along the way — IM injections achieve high bioavailability in a matter of minutes. At Shay Maz Aesthetics & Wellness in Buffalo, NY, our vitamin injections are a convenient, affordable option for clients who want consistent wellness support on a regular basis without committing to a full IV infusion every time.
Each injection takes just minutes to administer and requires no downtime — making it an easy fit between appointments, during a lunch break, or as a quick standalone visit. Whether you're looking to sustain your energy, support your metabolism, sharpen your mental clarity, or maintain your immunity throughout the year, our injection menu offers a targeted solution for your goals.
"I get a B12 shot every two weeks and it has made such a difference in my energy. It's so quick — literally in and out — and I notice the difference for days after. Total game changer for my routine."
Vitamin Injections We Offer in Buffalo, NY
Vitamin B12 Injection — Starting at $30
Methylcobalamin B12 is one of the most commonly deficient nutrients in adults — particularly those who are vegetarian or vegan, over 50, or dealing with chronic stress or fatigue. B12 plays a critical role in red blood cell production, neurological function, DNA synthesis, and cellular energy metabolism. Deficiency can manifest as fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, and even nerve damage over time.
Our B12 injections deliver a therapeutic dose directly into the muscle for immediate uptake. Many clients report noticeable improvements in energy, mental clarity, and mood within 24 to 48 hours of their injection. Available as a 1 mg IM injection ($30) or a 5 mg IV push ($40).
NAD+ Injection — $25
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme found in every living cell and is essential to hundreds of biological processes — including cellular energy production, DNA repair, and the regulation of the body's aging response. NAD+ levels decline naturally with age, and supporting them has become one of the most exciting areas in longevity and performance medicine.
Our subcutaneous (SQ) NAD+ injection is a fast, affordable way to maintain elevated NAD+ levels on a regular basis. Benefits include increased energy and stamina, improved cognitive function and focus, enhanced metabolism, and cellular regeneration support. Recommended three times per week for best results ($25 per injection). For higher-dose NAD+ therapy, see our IV add-on menu.
Lipo-C (Lipotropic) Injection
Lipo-C injections combine a powerful blend of lipotropic compounds — including methionine, inositol, choline, and B12 — that work together to support fat metabolism, liver health, and energy production. Lipotropic nutrients help the body break down and eliminate fat more efficiently, making these injections a popular complement to weight management programs. They also support liver detoxification pathways and can improve energy and mental clarity. Ask your provider about availability and pricing during your consultation.
Vitamin Injections vs. IV Infusions — Which Is Right for You?
Both vitamin injections and IV infusions bypass the digestive system for superior absorption, but they serve different purposes and timelines. Injections are ideal for regular maintenance of specific nutrients — B12 for sustained energy, NAD+ for cellular health, Lipo-C for metabolic support — and can be administered in just minutes. IV infusions, by contrast, deliver a broader spectrum of nutrients in higher concentrations and are best suited for more comprehensive wellness goals, acute recovery needs, or conditions requiring therapeutic doses. Many of our Buffalo, NY clients use both: monthly or bi-monthly IV infusions supplemented by weekly or twice-weekly injections in between.

What to Expect from Your Vitamin Injection Appointment
Vitamin injection appointments at Shay Maz Aesthetics & Wellness are as quick and straightforward as they sound. After a brief intake review, your provider will administer the injection into the deltoid (upper arm) or gluteus muscle — the most common and comfortable injection sites. The procedure takes less than a minute and is well-tolerated by most clients. Mild soreness at the injection site for a day or two is normal and resolves on its own.
There is no downtime. You can return to all normal activities immediately after your appointment — most clients are in and out in under 15 minutes.
