IV stands for intravenous, which means within the vein. We administer IV hydration by inserting a tiny catheter directly into your vein, enabling us to hydrate you more efficiently than drinking water alone. Though there may be a brief prick from a small needle, once the vein is accessed, the needle is removed, leaving only the plastic catheter in place.

IV therapy is a quick way of delivering fluids, vitamins, and minerals directly into the bloodstream. This direct route ensures that your body absorbs 100% of the nutrients, whereas orally consumed vitamins typically experience only about 20% absorption due to the digestive process. It's important to note that our services are intended to supplement, not replace, oral hydration.

IV infusion therapy, conducted by licensed experts, ensures safe delivery of essential nutrients with superior bioavailability. Prior to therapy, it's crucial to disclose any allergies or health concerns to mitigate potential complications. Our registered nurses, supervised by a medical provider, administer all IVs after evaluating clients' health histories. While side effects like discomfort, bruising, or mild inflammation may occur occasionally, true allergic reactions are exceedingly rare.

Side effects of IV therapy are typically minimal, with occasional discomfort, bruising, redness, itching, or inflammation at the injection site, lasting from minutes to days. True allergic reactions are exceedingly rare. However, if you experience symptoms like throat swelling, body rash, severe drop in blood pressure, or signs of anaphylaxis after receiving an injection, seek immediate medical attention at the nearest emergency department. If you're aware of allergies to any ingredients, it's crucial to inform our staff and avoid the treatment.

The entire process can take up to 90 minutes to complete, this includes paperwork and review of medical history and allergy information.

While our standard recommendation is monthly infusions, many clients opt for more frequent sessions based on their unique wellness objectives. The frequency of treatment varies depending on individual health requirements and the type of therapy, with some individuals receiving weekly sessions while others choose treatments as needed.

Unfortunately insurance does not cover IV therapy.

IV therapy hasn't undergone comprehensive testing for use in pregnant and breastfeeding women. Exceptions may be made for pregnant individuals experiencing severe morning sickness. However, it is highly recommended to consult your primary health care provider prior to receiving any treatment. Individuals with kidney or heart disease are at high risk and should avoid IV therapy due to their inability to efficiently eliminate electrolytes and minerals from the body, leading to potentially dangerous electrolyte imbalances, especially with potassium. Additionally, those with G6PD deficiency should avoid high doses of vitamin C during IV therapy, as it can trigger hemolytic anemia, causing the breakdown of red blood cells.
