Looking your best starts from the inside. And sometimes your body needs a little more than what food and supplements alone can deliver.
Vitamin and wellness shots are fast, effective, and one of the easiest ways to give your body exactly what it has been missing. Looking for vitamin shots near you in Chicago? The Art of Beauty offers them at our Gold Coast med spa. No lengthy appointments, no downtime, no complicated protocols. Just targeted nutrients delivered directly into your system so your body can actually use them.
Injections deliver a nutrient directly into the muscle instead of through the digestive system. A provider can help decide whether that makes sense for you.
Vitamin B12 A water-soluble vitamin the body needs for red blood cell formation and nerve function.
Vitamin D A vitamin the body needs for calcium absorption and bone health. The skin makes it from sunlight.
Glutathione An antioxidant that is made naturally in the body.
NAD+ A molecule found in every cell of the body that is involved in cellular energy processes.
MICC and Lipo Shot A blend of amino acids and nutrients.
Wellness shots may help people with low levels of a nutrient. Ask a provider whether a shot is right for you.
Frequency and dosage is completely individualized based on your health goals, your current levels, and how your body responds. Some clients come in weekly, some monthly. We will work with you to figure out what actually makes sense for your body and your lifestyle.
There is no one size fits all answer here, and we would not pretend there is.
The Art of Beauty offers vitamin and wellness shots in Chicago’s Gold Coast at 900 N Franklin St, Suite 407, Chicago, IL 60610. Options include B12, vitamin D, glutathione, NAD+ and lipotropic (MICC) shots. Visits are quick and there is no downtime, so you can book a session and go straight back to your day.
A B12 shot delivers a single vitamin that is involved in red blood cell formation and nerve function, while a lipotropic or MICC shot combines B12 with additional amino acids and nutrients. Both are typically given as quick intramuscular injections, but the ingredient blend differs. A provider can help you decide which, if either, makes sense for you.
B12 is involved in red blood cell formation and nerve function. NAD+ is found in every cell and is involved in cellular energy processes. A provider can help you decide whether either makes sense for you.
Exact pricing depends on which shot is chosen, the dosage, and whether it’s part of a package, so a precise cost isn’t something that can be quoted without a consultation. Many med spas offer single-shot pricing as well as discounted multi-visit packages for clients who plan to come in regularly. Your provider will confirm current pricing at consultation or when booking.
Most med spas recommend a brief consultation before the first injection to review health history, current medications, and goals, even though the process itself doesn’t require extensive medical testing. This helps confirm which shot — B12, glutathione, vitamin D, NAD+, or a lipotropic blend — best matches individual needs. Booking policies vary by location, so confirming whether a same-day appointment or walk-in is available is best done directly with the office.
In many cases, yes — some clients combine complementary shots, such as a B12 shot with a glutathione or lipotropic injection, in a single visit. Whether this is appropriate depends on individual health history and the specific combination requested. A provider can confirm which pairings are suitable and whether combining shots is offered during the same appointment.
Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have known allergies to any shot ingredient, or have certain underlying medical conditions should discuss injections with a provider before starting, since these situations may affect candidacy. People currently taking medications that could interact with high-dose vitamins or amino acids should also flag this during intake. A provider will review health history to confirm whether a specific shot is appropriate.
Requirements depend on the shot, so they can vary. A provider will review your health history and current supplement use and tell you what is needed before you receive a shot. Anyone with a suspected true vitamin deficiency should discuss lab testing with their provider for a more targeted plan.
Discomfort is typically minimal and brief — most people describe it as a quick pinch or slight pressure rather than significant pain. Factors like hydration, muscle relaxation, and the specific injection site can affect how noticeable it feels. Any soreness at the injection site is usually mild and resolves within a day.
The most common side effect is mild redness, tenderness, or slight swelling at the injection site, which typically resolves on its own within a few hours to a day. Serious side effects are uncommon when injections are administered by a trained provider. Anyone who experiences symptoms beyond mild site irritation should contact their provider.
Timing varies by shot type and individual response, and not everyone notices a difference. A provider can set realistic expectations based on the specific shot and the health goals discussed at consultation.
