Vitamin B12 is vital to your health and wellness with the primary function of formulating red blood cells to help maintain your nervous system. This essential nutrient is found in animal-based foods, like meat, fish, eggs, and some dairy products, but Body by Mia has isolated its nutritional value with B12 injections to better your mind, body, and spirit.
Did you know that B12 injections are good for anyone with dietary restrictions? Due to allergies and strong aversions, not everyone can consume the kinds of foods with B12 nutrients. However, injections won’t lead to allergic flairs or unsavory aftertastes, making them an ideal choice for someone with a limited diet.
Signs and Symptoms of Vitamin B12 Deficiencies
Deficiencies in Vitamin B12 lead to various health issues, especially if left unaddressed. Some signs and symptoms to look for include:
- Weakness and unexplained exhaustion. The fatigue may feel chronic, and it’s due to a lack of healthy red blood cells.
- Numbness, tingling, and “pins and needles” feeling in the arms and legs, are typically indicative of a poorly functioning nervous system.
- Poor cognitive function, such as memory loss or problems holding focus or concentration.
- Mood swings and extreme depressive or anxious episodes. You may feel explosive one minute, then sobbing the next.
- Mouth ulcers or inflammation of the lips.
For the Mind
Supportive of mental health and cognitive wellness, Vitamin B12 benefits brain health by alleviating depression, reducing brain fog, and enhancing decision-making skills. It also supports strong memory recall.
For the Body
Vitamin B12 injections promote physical wellness by improving vitality, supporting healthy weight management through enhanced metabolic function, and strengthening cardiac function. It aids in the breakdown of fats and the use of energy, helping you shed excess weight to maintain a healthier, happier physique and life overall.
For the Spirit
Feeling better with Vitamin B12 extends to your emotional well-being as the injections help you stress less and promote a calmer, more peaceful state of mind. It also creates harmony between your mind and body by balancing energy levels.
The Injection Process and What to Expect
Usually in either the arm or thigh muscles, Vitamin B12 injections are quick pinches with minor side effects, like soreness at the injection site. You should see an improvement in how you feel, such as increased energy levels and better moods, within a few days of the initial injection.

Sticking to a plan involving weight loss triggers many people to think about calorie counting, a lack of tasty food, and a strict workout regimen. While these things are effective, there is more than one way to skin a cat.
Shedding pounds while enjoying the relaxation properties of a body treatment doesn’t have to be a far-fetched idea or goal. It’s much easier to accomplish than you think.
Combining your everyday diet and exercise routine with a body treatment from Beauty and Body by Mia will help you improve your look while you work on shedding the pounds. A little toning can go a long way! Here are a few of the treatments that I offer that can help you achieve your goals.
Emsculpt
Emsculpt is a popular body treatment for men and women wanting to transform their appearance with a slimmer, more sculpted physique.
Emsculpt simultaneously melts away fat, while building, strengthening, and toning muscles of the abdomen, buttocks, upper arms, and upper legs.
Liposonix
This treatment is non-invasive, and FDA approved. It uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to help you purge fat cells and tone your body. The ultrasonic energy heats up and destroys the fat cells, that the body then flushes out on its own. The result is the fat gradually laves the body, making your body thinner and more toned than before.
Radiofrequency
This body treatment is like Liposonix but uses radiofrequency to help you reshape your body. As you work out and lose body fat, it can take time for your body to adjust. This treatment is great for skin aging problems as well to help reduce the excess fatty tissue, cellulite, and wrinkles.
Ultrasound Cavitation Treatments
Finally, there’s a treatment for those stubborn areas that no form of diet and exercise seems to help with. Ultrasound Cavitation Treatments utilizes a process to emulsify trapped fat, convert it to liquid, and then allow the body to naturally expel it. You can also use the radiofrequency treatment to increase skin tone and reduce wrinkles.
Sometimes the body just needs a little extra help while you’re working on your weight loss goals! These treatments that I offer can help you get the look you want without expensive surgery, pain, or downtime.

Have you been looking for a procedure to help you look younger, but you do not want to go under the knife? Then you may be the ideal candidate for a PDO thread. This type of thread is great at helping you look younger but does not require a scalpel. The thread we use dissolves slowly on its own, but while it dissolves, it triggers your body to create new collagen to keep the look longer. The benefits of these procedures are vast. Let’s take a peek!
What Is a PDO Thread?
Many people are familiar with thread lifts. This is when we take a thread of dissolving material and use it to anchor a lift to one or more areas of skin, often on the face. So, what makes a PDO thread different? It is in the thread itself. PDO stands for polydioxanone, and it is the material the thread is made from. In this case, it is a type of polyester. During the procedure, we use the PDO thread and use it to lift up problem areas, suturing it in place when the desired effect has been reached. Over the next 6 months, the thread dissolves, leaving a collagen-rich area of skin behind.
The procedure is quick, taking less than an hour. The downtime is minimal, and your results last from 6-18 months, depending on how much collagen your body produces. You can look naturally younger in very little time, and feel great for a long time. PDO threads have been used for over 40 years very successfully, and they can help you look and feel amazing, too!

There are so many minimally or non-invasive beauty therapies available today for the first time. Long gone are the days of anything short of surgery having a noticeable and lasting effect. With some of these treatments you can even target specific parts of the body for improvement.
Perhaps you want something to firm up loose skin around your neck or chin. Some folks may be interested in getting rid of cellulite in a problem area. Still, others may be looking for something to brighten their skin tone and make it look and feel more youthful. Here are a few examples of some of the many exciting options available in this field:
Facial Therapies
For those who were interested in a more vibrant and youthful appearance, the BB Glow just might do the trick. It is a micro-needling treatment which smoothes out wrinkles and minimizes the appearance of pores. Additionally, the hyaluronic acid helps to give the skin a more plump texture and radiant glow. The effects of these therapies tend to last several months.
Body Therapies
People seek out body treatments many times for things that dieting and exercise don’t seem to help with. This includes small but stubborn amounts of weight such as 5 or 10 pounds. Love handles, muffin tops, upper arm cellulite, as well as thighs and buttocks are all common problem areas. Hair removal is another example.
Therapies like Liposonix use heat to melt cellulite away. Radiofrequency therapy can reshape fat more evenly across an area of your body. UC treatments melt fat down into a liquid which exits the body in the same way as all other liquids. Each of these is non-surgical.
Various Other Wellness Therapies
There are several other treatments that Body by Mia may be able to offer you, depending on what it is that you are looking for. Mesotherapy can help with everything from fat removal to facials to re-growing hair. Get in contact with us today to find out more about how we can help you achieve the look that you see when you look in the mirror.

There have been some incredible advancements in the field of cosmetic medicine in the last several years. Beauty and anti-aging treatments are offering better results and lasting longer. One of the most amazing procedures has to do with fat loss.
Mesotherapy injections can provide quick and dramatic improvements in weight and body shape in a short amount of time. It can also be a part of a more significant overall transformation by developing a simple treatment regimen.
What Exactly Is Mesotherapy/LipoDissolve?
Mesotherapy uses FDA approved medications such as Phosphatidylcholine deoxycholate (PCDC) to dissolve fat and cellulite. These practices have been in effect in France and other parts of Europe for years and are just now becoming more popular here in the United States.
How Does It Work?
Initially invented in the early 1950s and used as a vascular disorder treatment, after that, it was discovered that with slight variations, it could be used as a chronic pain medication, hair loss deterrent, and ever a few others. More recently, it has proven to be highly effective in fat removal.
The procedure is straightforward; multiple tiny micro-injections are performed in the target area. The medicine then hardens the fat cells in the body, causing them to break and shatter. From there, they are removed from the body through its natural processes.
What Are Some of the Areas It Works On?
Mesotherapy can be effective on several different parts of your body. One of the great things about this treatment is the fact that the most common problem areas can usually be addressed. Here are just a few of them:
- Thighs
- Love handles
- Upper arms
- Double chin
- Lower and upper abs

We will gladly address all inquiries, as well as to help you get set up for an appointment if it’s something that you decide to do. One call could be the start of you loving your body even more.
