Intravenous (IV) therapy is hydration (usually normal saline) and a mixture of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and/or antioxidants delivered directly into the vein. While undergoing an IV vitamin drip, your body is receiving a higher concentration of the vitamins themselves. The absorption rate of the vitamin is much higher when delivered through an IV. A vitamin that is taken by mouth gets broken down in the digestive tract, leaving only a 50% absorption rate compared to the 90% when given IV. Other factors that affect absorption rate are “age, metabolism, health status, genetics, interactions with other products we consume, and the physical and chemical makeup of the nutritional supplement or food.

Individuals seeking anti-aging, rejuvenation, improved overall health and wellness, and athletes are great candidates for IV therapy. The best way to find if you are a good candidate for IV therapy is to set up a consultation with us. During your initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and voice any concerns you may have. We want you to educate you on the many aspects of IV therapy and feel confident that this treatment is right for you. Apart from making sure that this treatment is a perfect solution for you is asking about your health, medical history, and current medications to ensure that IV therapy is a safe treatment for you. This information will also help us create your unique mixture of vitamins and minerals. Once your ideal combination is created we will set up a schedule for you that should help you maintain optimal health.

This can vary from person to person. When one first begins IV therapy, more frequent treatments may be ideal until vitamin levels stabilize. Nutrient levels remain elevated for between two to three weeks after each treatment. Some clients maintain IV therapy monthly, while others seek treatment only when they have concerns. Patients often set up a schedule of appointments with us so they can maintain results and keep their health optimal.

Some of the most common benefits of IV therapy include anti-aging, anti-stress, athletic performance and recovery, depression relief, mood enhancement, hydration, immune boost, and migraine headache relief. Our favorite benefit with IV treatments is known as the “beauty boosters.” These formulas contain vitamin C, glutathione, and biotin, for example to keep hair, skin, and nails healthy. Some IVs can even turn back the clock, giving you the lush and lovely skin of your youth without any surgery. Many people find that one dose of an IV is enough to smooth out the look of wrinkles and even brighten their complexions.. BONUS: A simple influx of vitamins and nutrients can boost your mood, brighten your skin, or help you reach that elusive athletic goal!

By taking IV vitamins you are bypassing your body's normal digestive process that has built-in safeguards for absorption, meaning you could end up with too much of some things. However, our formulas are created and approved by our medical director and clinical staff to ensure safe dosing and osmolarity. There is always a risk for infection with any break to the skin, but our qualified team maintains proper aseptic technique throughout your treatment. Other potential risks include allergic reactions, adverse effects, or IV infiltration. Side effects can include headache, nausea, pain at the injection or infusion site.

The vitamins that will be used will be the ones naturally found in the body such as vitamin C, B, magnesium, and calcium. Drip treatments may also include antioxidants and amino acids unique to your needs. The nutrients used in IV therapy are natural and will be filtered and flushed from the body naturally.

One of the aspects that we love about IV drip therapy is that it allows us to customize the treatment to each patient. Instead of a “one-size-fits-all” approach, we can deliver the type of personalized, high-quality care that we are passionate about providing. With a treatment that is the right fit for each individual, a patient’s quality of life can be significantly improved.

Although an IV drip appointment is simple and done in the office, there are still some steps you can take to make your appointment go smoothly. A big part of IV therapy is the insertion of the needle and placement of the port. To help this process go effortlessly and comfortably, it is important that you arrive hydrated. In addition, we recommend eating a snack and maybe taking a quick walk before your appointment. These actions will keep your veins plump and easy to find.

When you arrive at your appointment, your vein will be cleansed and one of our specially trained staff members will insert the IV catheter and port. The IV tubing will be connected and your unique vitamin and mineral formula will be slowly administered to you over the course of about forty-five minutes. Appointment times can vary. Once the treatment is complete, you can return to your regular day. Make sure to keep the site of needle insertion clean and protected from the elements for 24 hours after your infusion.

Some patients feel the benefits of IV therapy right after their treatment. Other patients may not feel improvements until twenty-four to forty-eight hours after therapy. The results can be felt for up to a week. Patients often set up a schedule of appointments with us so they can maintain results and keep their health optimal.
