IV Therapy
What is an IV Infusion Treatment?
Intravenous (IV) hydration is a safe and fast way to provide your body with the nutrition it needs. Because IV hydration bypasses the digestive system, it is an effective way to deliver vitamins, electrolytes, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream to restore your general health and wellbeing.
The digestive system metabolizes supplements that are consumed orally and reduces the amount of nutrients and vitamins that reach the bloodstream. Besides speeding up the effectiveness of treatment, IV therapy ensures 100% absorption, minimal waste, and vitamins are delivered directly to the cells that need them. IV therapy can improve and impact a wide variety of body functions.
How should I prepare for a IV?
The minerals and vitamins infused via IV are dehydrating at the cellular level and your body will be more responsive if you are hydrated prior to starting your IV. Also, if you are low on fluids the veins in your arms will be smaller and they tend to hide on us when we are looking for the best site to start your IV. Your response to the IV and finding a vein will be improved by drinking a few glasses of water before your appointment. Some of the vitamins and minerals can cause nausea if infused on an empty stomach so eating a snack high in protein may be helpful. Come dressed in comfortable clothing and and be ready to relax and enjoy your treatment.
What can I expect during my IV?
Your visit will start with a comprehensive complementary consultation with one of our Registered Nurses under the guidance of our medical director. They will take your vitals and go over your medical history. Each individual is different, and we provide personalized infusion bags that cater to your specific needs. The duration of each session depends on the infusion being administered and your specific needs, but regardless of how long it takes, our staff is fully committed to making sure the experience is as comfortable as possible.
