FAQs

IV hydration therapy involves delivering fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) drip. It is designed to quickly rehydrate the body, enhance wellness, and address specific health needs.

• Rapid Rehydration: Quickly restores fluid levels in the body.
• Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: Delivers vitamins and minerals directly to the cells.
• Increased Energy: Can help boost energy levels and combat fatigue.
• Improved Immune Support: Certain IV treatments are designed to strengthen the immune system.
• Recovery from Hangovers: Helps to alleviate hangover symptoms by rehydrating and detoxifying the body.
• Athletic Performance and Recovery: Aids in muscle recovery and reduces fatigue.

When administered by a trained professional, IV hydration therapy is generally safe. However, it is important to discuss any health conditions or medications with the provider to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.

IV hydration therapy can benefit a wide range of people, including those who:

• Are dehydrated due to illness, exercise, or heat exposure.
• Need a boost in energy or immune support.
• Are recovering from a hangover.
• Want to improve skin health or appearance.
• Athletes looking for quicker recovery after intense physical activity.

There are various IV drips tailored to different needs, including:

• Hydration Drips: Basic saline or electrolyte solutions for rehydration.
• Vitamin C Drips: To boost the immune system.
• Myers’ Cocktail: A mix of vitamins and minerals for overall wellness.
• Detox Drips: Help to cleanse the body of toxins.
• Beauty Drips: Contain nutrients aimed at improving skin, hair, and nails.

A typical IV hydration session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of drip and the individual’s needs.

The frequency of IV hydration therapy depends on your individual health goals and needs. Some people may benefit from weekly sessions, while others might only require occasional treatments.

Side effects are generally minimal but can include:

• Mild discomfort at the injection site.
• A cool sensation as the fluid enters the bloodstream.
• Rarely, allergic reactions or infections.

In most cases, you do not need a prescription. However, it’s recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting IV therapy, especially if you have underlying health conditions.

While IV therapy can support overall wellness and energy levels, it is not a weight loss treatment. However, some drips may assist in boosting metabolism when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

The cost varies depending on the type of drip and the location, but it typically ranges from $100 to $400 per session.

• Before: Stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals, and inform your provider of any medications or conditions.
• After: Rest if needed, stay hydrated, and monitor for any adverse reactions.

Most insurance plans do not cover elective IV hydration therapy, but you should check with your provider to see if any medical necessity might apply.
