Biotin improves the basic protein that makes up hair, skin and nails. This protein is called keratin. Biotin deficiency can cause dry skin, brittle nails and hair, as well as hair loss.
Biotin can be taken in a tablet form or given intramuscularly as an injection. Most supplements are not effectively absorbed by our bodies through ingestion and thus intramuscular biotin injection has been helpful in increasing biotin levels faster in many patients.
For many people, a Vitamin H deficiency can lead to significant problems with their skin’s inner health and outer appearance. Dry, itchy skin is one of the most common issues, although more serious conditions like acne and psoriasis can also arise. Keep in mind that if you don’t nourish your skin from the inside, resulting hormonal issues can result in serious skin problems on the outside. In most cases, a biotin supplement can correct the issue, improving skin and helping to create a youthful glow.
Higher doses of biotin have resulted in significant nail health improvement. Studies have shown that those who take a biotin supplement can thicken their nails by up to 25 percent and decrease the amount of nail splitting and breakage they endure.
Combine the Biotin injections with any “in clinic” skin treatments or BIO- PRF Hair to enhance results
