Protocol
Fast, RN-administered intramuscular injections for energy, immunity, and recovery support.
South Charlotte guests choose iCRYO Blakeney for medical-grade IM shots that fit any schedule.
iCRYO Blakeney
IM shots, short for intramuscular injections, deliver concentrated vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants directly into muscle tissue. Because the injection bypasses the digestive system entirely, your body absorbs the full dose right away instead of losing potency to digestion. That's the core difference between an IM shot and a supplement pill: one is broken down slowly in your gut, the other goes straight to work.
At iCRYO Blakeney, IM shots are administered by a licensed RN in our clinical lounge on Rea Rd. We offer a menu built around real, common needs: low energy, slow immune response, muscle recovery, and support for guests on a medical weight loss program. Each visit starts with a short health screen so your RN can confirm the shot is right for you before anything is administered.
Guests across South Charlotte and Ballantyne use IM shots as a quick add-on to their wellness routine, whether that's before a workout, during cold and flu season, or alongside IV infusion therapy for a fuller reset.
How An IM Shot Visit Works
Every visit at iCRYO Blakeney follows the same simple, safety-first process. Most guests are in and out in under five minutes, and many don't even need to sit down.
01
Hydrate and eat something light beforehand, then choose from our menu of intramuscular injections, including B12, Lipo Slim, Glutathione, Vitamin D, and Tri-Immune. If you're not sure which one fits your goals, your RN will make a recommendation on the spot.
02
Your RN reviews current medications, allergies, and health goals in a brief intake. This takes about a minute and confirms the shot is safe for you before moving forward.
03
The shot is administered intramuscularly by a licensed RN, typically in the arm or hip. Most guests describe it as a quick pinch, similar to a flu shot, and the whole injection takes seconds.
04
Energy and focus-based shots, like B12 or B-complex, are often noticeable within 15 to 30 minutes. Immune and recovery blends build gradually over the following day as your body puts the nutrients to use.
What We Offer
IM shots pack a lot of value into a short visit. Here's why so many guests build them into a regular routine.
Because the injection goes straight into muscle tissue, none of the dose is lost to digestion. You get the full benefit of every shot, unlike oral vitamins that lose potency in the gut.
Most shots take under five minutes from check-in to done. There's no lying down, no IV line, and no waiting room. It's the fastest option on our menu for a targeted nutrient boost.
Every injection is given by a licensed RN who screens for allergies, medications, and health history first. That means medical oversight on something you might otherwise try to DIY.
With more than a dozen shot options, you can match the injection to what you actually need that week, whether it's energy, immunity, fat metabolism, or recovery from soreness.
iCRYO Blakeney
IM shots work best for guests who want fast, specific support without committing to a full IV infusion. A quick screening at your visit confirms what's appropriate for you, but here's a general starting point.
If you're pregnant, nursing, on blood thinners, or have a known allergy to any ingredient, your RN will walk through safety considerations with you at check-in before recommending a shot.

IM shots pair well with other services at iCRYO Blakeney, especially if you're building a full recovery or wellness routine. Here's the rest of our menu.

01Common Questions
Here's what South Charlotte guests ask most before their first intramuscular injection.
IM (intramuscular) shots deliver vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants directly into muscle tissue, bypassing the digestive system for 100% absorption and faster results than oral supplements.
Yes. Every shot at iCRYO Blakeney is administered by a licensed RN who reviews your health history, current medications, and any allergies before your injection. Our shots use medical-grade ingredients dosed to established safety standards, and your RN will flag anything that needs a provider's clearance first.
Most guests feel energy and focus shots (B12, B-complex) within 15 to 30 minutes. Immune, recovery, and antioxidant blends build over the next 24 to 48 hours.
Frequency depends on the shot and your goals. Energy and B12 shots can be done weekly. Tri-immune and high-antioxidant shots are usually weekly during cold and flu season, monthly for maintenance. Your RN will recommend cadence.
Most guests describe it as a quick pinch, similar to a flu shot. Any soreness typically resolves within a day.
