At Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, we believe wellness starts from within—and intramuscular (IM) injections are one of the fastest and most efficient ways to deliver essential nutrients your body needs to thrive.
Unlike oral supplements that pass through your digestive system and lose potency along the way, IM injections deliver vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants directly into your muscle tissue, where they’re quickly absorbed into the bloodstream for maximum bioavailability and results you can feel—fast.
Intramuscular injections involve a small, precise shot administered into a large muscle (typically the glute or deltoid). Because muscle tissue has a rich blood supply, this method allows nutrients to enter the bloodstream more quickly and efficiently than pills or powders.
At Rio Glow, we use IM shots to deliver a wide range of wellness-boosting compounds that support:
– Energy production
– Immune function
– Fat metabolism
– Mood and focus
– Skin clarity and radiance
Whether you need a quick pick-me-up or want to support your body long-term, IM injections are safe, fast, and customizable to your goals.
✅ Higher absorption rate (90–100% vs. ~20% from pills)
✅ No digestion required—great for those with gut or absorption issues
✅ Faster onset of results
✅ No unnecessary fillers or binders
✅ Custom wellness plans tailored to your needs
From B12 for energy to glutathione for detox and skin health, IM shots are a favorite among busy clients, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone ready to feel better—naturally and efficiently.
Intramuscular (IM) injections are one of the quickest and most effective ways to give your body exactly what it needs—right when it needs it. At Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, our IM wellness shots are designed to deliver targeted nutrients that support everything from energy and immunity to metabolism and skin health.
Unlike oral supplements that can take days or weeks to show results (if they absorb at all), IM injections go directly into the muscle, giving you fast, reliable benefits with maximum absorption.
✅ Boosts Energy & Focus
B12 and MIC injections help fight fatigue, improve concentration, and support red blood cell production—perfect for burnout, travel, or busy weeks.
✅ Supports Fat Metabolism & Weight Management
Lipotropic shots (like MIC+B12 or L-carnitine) enhance your metabolism and help the body burn fat more efficiently, especially when paired with movement and healthy eating.
✅ Enhances Immune Function
Vitamin D and glutathione injections strengthen the immune system and may reduce the duration or frequency of illness.
✅ Improves Skin, Hair & Nail Health
Glutathione and biotin shots help detoxify the body and promote clearer skin, stronger nails, and shinier hair from the inside out.
✅ Promotes Mood Balance & Brain Clarity
B-complex injections support mood regulation, mental clarity, and nerve health—ideal during stressful periods or seasonal shifts.
✅ Faster Absorption Than Oral Supplements
Skip the digestive tract entirely—IM shots are absorbed almost immediately, making them ideal for individuals with gut issues, nutrient deficiencies, or low energy levels.
– Higher potency than capsules or powders
– Little to no side effects
– No crash or overstimulation
– Safe to combine with IV therapy or wellness boosters
– Takes just minutes with no downtime
Whether you’re prepping for a vacation, recovering from a tough week, or building a long-term wellness routine, IM injections are a fast, flexible, and highly effective tool to help you feel your best—naturally.

We get it—if you’re new to intramuscular injections, you probably have questions. At Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, we’re here to make sure you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
IM injections deliver vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants directly into the muscle, allowing for faster absorption and higher potency than oral supplements. They’re used to support energy, mood, metabolism, immunity, skin health, and more.
Both methods deliver nutrients directly into the body, but IM shots go into the muscle, not the vein. They’re quicker, more convenient, and ideal for targeted wellness support—especially when you don’t need full hydration like with an IV drip.
Most clients report only a quick pinch. Our licensed professionals use a fine needle and injection technique that makes it very tolerable, and it’s over in just seconds.
Some clients feel a boost within hours, especially with B12 or MIC. Others may notice changes over a few days, depending on the type of injection and your individual response.
It depends on your wellness goals and the nutrients you’re receiving. Many clients come in:
– Weekly for energy or metabolism support
– Bi-weekly or monthly for maintenance
We’ll help build a custom schedule based on your needs.
Yes! Many of our injections are stackable or available as combo shots for maximum benefit. For example, B12 + MIC or Glutathione + Biotin can be administered in one visit.
Absolutely. We only use pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, and every injection is administered by trained professionals following proper safety protocols.
IM injections are a great choice for those with gut health issues, low absorption, or restricted diets, since they bypass digestion entirely and deliver nutrients directly where they’re needed.
Still have questions? Our team is here to help. Book a consultation at Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, and we’ll walk you through everything step-by-step based on your health goals.
At Rio Glow Aesthetics and Wellness, we make getting your intramuscular (IM) injection quick, seamless, and stress-free. Whether it’s your first time or part of your regular wellness routine, each visit is designed to be efficient, personalized, and comfortable.
Here’s exactly what to expect when you come in for your injection:
We’ll start with a brief check-in to discuss your health goals, symptoms, and desired outcomes. Whether you’re looking to boost energy, burn fat, or strengthen immunity, we’ll recommend the right injection—or combination—for you.
Once your injection is selected, your provider will prep the area—typically the glute or upper deltoid muscle—with an alcohol swab. We always use sterile, single-use needles and pharmaceutical-grade vitamins for your safety.
The injection itself takes just a few seconds. Most clients describe it as a mild pinch or quick pressure—easy, fast, and very tolerable. You’ll be in and out in just minutes.
There’s no downtime, so you can resume your normal routine immediately. We’ll give you quick aftercare tips like:
Stay hydrated
Move around gently to disperse the injection
Expect possible mild soreness at the injection site (typically gone within 24 hours)
– Consultation: 3–5 minutes
– Injection: 1–2 minutes
– Post-care: 2–3 minutes
Whether you’re on your lunch break or swinging by after the gym, IM injections are one of the fastest wellness boosts available—with results you’ll feel from the inside out.
| Injection | Primary Benefit | Best For | Recommended Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| B12 (Methylcobalamin) | Boosts energy, focus, and mood | Fatigue, brain fog, B12 deficiency | Weekly or as needed |
| MIC + B12 (Lipotropic) | Supports fat burning and liver detox | Weight loss, metabolic support | 1–2x weekly |
| Glutathione | Detoxifies, brightens skin, antioxidant support | Skin glow, immune health, inflammation | 1–2x weekly or monthly |
| L-Carnitine | Converts fat to energy, boosts endurance | Athletes, weight management | 1–2x weekly |
| Vitamin D3 | Supports mood, bones, and immune health | Vitamin D deficiency, low sun exposure | Monthly |
| Biotin | Promotes healthy hair, skin, and nails | Beauty boost, brittle hair/nails | Weekly or bi-weekly |
One of the best parts of intramuscular injections? There’s no downtime. You can go right back to your day—but there are a few simple things you can do post-treatment to maximize your results and support your overall wellness journey.
💧 Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water after your injection—hydration supports nutrient absorption and helps your body flush toxins, especially after fat-burning or detox shots.
🧘 Move Gently
A light walk or simple stretching helps circulate the injection and may reduce any post-injection soreness in the muscle.
🧊 Mild Tenderness? Totally Normal.
Some clients feel a little soreness at the injection site (like a flu shot). If needed, apply a cold compress for a few minutes—but avoid massaging the area.
🕓 Be Patient With Results
Some injections (like B12) may deliver noticeable energy within hours, while others (like biotin or glutathione) may take a few sessions to see full aesthetic benefits.
Your ideal frequency depends on your goals and how your body responds. Here’s a general guideline:
– B12: Once weekly or bi-weekly for sustained energy, mental clarity, and mood support
– MIC + B12 (Fat Burner): 1–2 times per week during weight loss or detox phases
– Glutathione: Weekly or bi-weekly for skin brightening and antioxidant support; monthly for maintenance
– Vitamin D3: Monthly to support bone health, mood, and immune function—especially in low-sun seasons
– Biotin: Weekly for hair, skin, and nail health
– L-Carnitine: 1–2 times per week to enhance fat metabolism and workout recovery
Your provider at Rio Glow will personalize your plan and help you adjust frequency based on your progress, lifestyle, and wellness goals.
– Eat nutrient-dense, whole foods
– Take high-quality oral supplements as recommended
– Get restful sleep and manage stress
– Combine injections with other wellness services (like IV therapy or facials)
Your wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all—and that’s why we’re here to help you build a plan that works.
Whether you’re looking to fight fatigue, support weight loss, brighten your skin, or simply feel your best—intramuscular injections offer real results that go deeper than surface-level fixes.
