WHAT ARE VITAMIN SHOTS?

Vitamin shots are quick, intramuscular injections that deliver concentrated doses of essential vitamins directly into your body. This allows for faster absorption compared to oral supplements, giving you a rapid boost in energy, immunity, or other health benefits depending on the specific vitamins used.

How Your Body Absorbs Vitamins:

The main difference lies in how your body absorbs them. Vitamin shots deliver nutrients directly into the muscle, allowing for nearly 100% absorption, which means your body can use the vitamins immediately. Oral vitamins, on the other hand, must pass through the digestive system, where a significant portion may be lost or broken down before reaching your bloodstream. As a result, vitamin shots offer a faster, more efficient way to boost your vitamin levels, while oral supplements may take longer and may not be as fully absorbed.

The frequency of vitamin shots depends on your individual health goals and needs. Some people opt for weekly or bi-weekly shots for consistent energy or immune support, while others may choose to get a shot before a big event or as part of a recovery plan.

Vitamin shots can help improve energy levels, enhance immune function, support mental clarity, boost metabolism, and promote better skin health. The effects are often felt within hours, making them a great option for anyone looking for a quick, targeted wellness boost.

Most people find that vitamin shots cause only minimal discomfort, similar to a quick pinch. Our experienced staff ensures the process is as gentle and painless as possible, and we work with you to make sure you’re comfortable during the injection.

Yes, vitamin shots are safe when administered by trained healthcare professionals. At Point Infusion, we use only high-quality, medically-approved ingredients and follow strict protocols to ensure your safety and comfort during every injection.

PointKetamine

How does ketamine work for mood disorders?

Ketamine works by affecting the brain’s glutamate system, which plays a key role in mood regulation. It helps restore connections between neurons, allowing your brain to heal and function more effectively. This results in rapid relief from symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood disorders.

Many patients start to feel relief within hours of their first treatment. Ketamine is known for its fast-acting properties, especially when compared to traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks or months to become effective.

Yes, when administered in a clinical setting under the supervision of a medical professional, ketamine is safe. Our treatments are carefully monitored to ensure the best possible outcomes with minimal side effects.

The number of treatments varies depending on your condition and individual response. Many patients begin with a series of 6 treatments over 2-3 weeks, followed by maintenance infusions as needed.

Yes, ketamine is particularly effective for individuals who haven’t had success with traditional therapies like antidepressants or talk therapy. It offers a new path to relief for treatment-resistant mood disorders.

Some patients experience mild side effects like dizziness, nausea, or dissociation during the infusion. These effects typically wear off within a few hours after treatment and are closely monitored in the clinic.

The effects of ketamine can last anywhere from several weeks to months. Many patients find significant long-term relief, especially when combined with maintenance treatments and other therapeutic approaches.

Yes, ketamine has been shown to rapidly reduce suicidal ideation, often within hours of treatment. It’s one of the fastest-acting therapies for patients in crisis.

When administered in a controlled medical environment, ketamine is not addictive. The doses used for mood disorders are much lower than those associated with recreational misuse, and the treatment is closely supervised.

In most cases, patients can continue their current medications while receiving ketamine therapy. However, it’s important to discuss your medical history and current medications with your provider to ensure the safest and most effective treatment plan.

Regenerative Treatments

What are exosomes?

Exosomes are at the forefront of cutting-edge skin rejuvenation technology. They act as messengers, facilitating communication between cells like fibroblasts and keratinocytes. These tiny vesicles transfer important proteins, growth factors, and genetic material that aid in skin regeneration and repair. By harnessing the power of exosomes, our treatments promote a more youthful, radiant complexion.

Growth factor treatments are highly effective in reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. They improve skin texture, tighten loose skin, and enhance circulation for a more radiant appearance. Growth factors also help lighten hyperpigmentation (like melasma) and reduce the appearance of stretch marks, making your skin smoother and more youthful.

Anyone with mild to moderate skin laxity, acne scars, sun damage, or dark spots can benefit from growth factor treatments. This procedure works well for all skin types, and it’s perfect for those looking for visible results without the downtime associated with more invasive treatments. However, if you have a history of keloid scarring, this treatment may not be right for you.

While growth factor treatments are generally safe, individuals with the following conditions should avoid this procedure: hemophilia, eczema, skin diseases, allergies, autoimmune diseases, a history of cold sores or cancer, and a tendency to keloid.

Not at all! We use a medical-grade numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the process, so you’ll feel little to no discomfort.

The entire session typically takes around one hour. This includes 30 minutes for the numbing cream to take effect, followed by 15-30 minutes for the treatment itself, depending on the area being targeted.

Downtime is minimal. You may experience some pinkness and sensitivity for a few days after the treatment, as well as light flaking as the outer skin layer sheds. We recommend avoiding sun exposure, strenuous exercise, and hot showers for two weeks to allow your skin to heal properly.

Most clients notice improved skin texture, tone, and firmness after even one treatment. Fine lines and wrinkles soften, scars fade, and dull skin takes on a renewed glow. Results tend to improve with a series of treatments.

The number of treatments varies based on your skin’s condition. Typically, clients aiming for skin tightening will need around 6 sessions, while those looking to reduce acne scarring may need 8-10 treatments for the best results.

For optimal results, treatments should be spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow for proper healing. Regular sessions help maintain momentum, promoting long-lasting collagen and elastin production.

The effects of growth factor treatments can last for up to a year, as new collagen continues to form. Maintenance treatments once or twice a year will help prolong and enhance your initial results.

Dramatic skin tightening is typically noticeable after 6-10 sessions, and scar reduction after 8-10 sessions. Results build with each treatment, so sticking to a consistent schedule is key.

There’s no set age to begin growth factor treatments, but many clients start in their 30s to maintain youthful skin for years to come. The best time to start depends on your skin type and personal goals.

Yes, growth factor treatments are very safe. However, those with conditions like hemophilia, autoimmune diseases, a history of cancer or keloids, or active infections should avoid this treatment. Always consult with a professional to ensure it’s the right fit for you.
