About this Drip

Biotin is a water-soluble B-vitamin that acts as an essential coenzyme for converting fats, proteins, and carbohydrates into energy. In the aesthetic world, it is best known as the "Beauty Vitamin" because it is the fundamental nutrient required to maintain the infrastructure of keratin—the protein that makes up hair, skin, and nails. It is a popular choice for:

Hair Health: Individuals suffering from thinning hair, excessive shedding, or lack of volume.
Nail Strength: People with brittle, splitting, or soft nails that refuse to grow.
Metabolism: Supporting the breakdown of macronutrients for energy.

Key Benefits

For Hair & Nails

Keratin Infrastructure: Biotin stimulates the production of keratin. Increasing biotin availability helps strengthen the hair shaft and nail bed, reducing breakage.
Follicle Support: It supports the metabolic rate of hair follicles (which are rapidly dividing cells), ensuring they have the energy required for the growth phase (Anagen).

For Skin & Energy

Fatty Acid Synthesis: Biotin is required to produce fatty acids, which are essential for maintaining the skin's oil barrier and preventing dryness or irritation.
Macronutrient Metabolism: It helps the body utilize glucose and fatty acids efficiently, turning food into usable cellular fuel.

How it works (The Science)

While Biotin is found in foods (like eggs and nuts), absorption can be blocked by certain dietary factors or gut issues. IM Bioavailability: This injection provides 5,000mcg of Biotin. This dose ensures that your keratinocytes (hair/nail cells) are fully saturated with the coenzyme they need to repair and grow, bypassing digestive limitations.

The Experience: What to expect

At Epicare, we blend medical expertise with a relaxing environment to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as it is effective.

Consultation: Your appointment begins with a brief health check with our clinician to review your medical history and ensure the specific nutrient shot is suited to your needs.
Preparation: You will be seated or asked to lie down comfortably. The clinician will select the best site for the injection—typically the upper arm (deltoid) or the upper buttock (glute)—and cleanse the area with alcohol.
The Injection: This is a quick intramuscular (IM) procedure. The clinician will gently insert a sterile needle into the muscle and administer the nutrients.
Aftercare: Once finished, the needle is removed, and a small plaster is applied. You can resume normal activities immediately. We advise staying well-hydrated for the rest of the day to help your body circulate the nutrients.

Pre-Treatment Blood Tests: We recommend that patients complete the following blood tests before treatment: Full Blood Count, ESR, Liver Function, Kidney Function, and G6PD enzyme. Our Epicare Basic Screen offers the best-value way to complete most of these. The ESR and G6PD enzyme tests can be added separately if required.
