Vitamin IV therapy delivers essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids directly to your bloodstream via an intravenous (IV) drip or push. The nutrients are placed in an IV bag and then drawn up in a syringe for a direct route to your body.

Direct IV administration of these nutrients via IV push or IV drip can help hydrate your body, boost energy, support your immune system, improve skin health, and enhance mood and wellness. By directly infusing your body with much-needed nutrients, your body can perform at peak levels.

IV infusions can take between 30-60 minutes depending on the IV solution size. IV push can take just under 20 minutes! During this time, you can sit back and relax. Some clients choose to read, catch up on emails, or even take a nap. The fluids will drip steadily into your bloodstream, and you may feel a sense of calm or lightness as your body absorbs the nutrients. The IV bag will gradually empty as the vitamins, minerals, and hydration are delivered into your system.

No, vitamin supplements are not just as effective. While they can be beneficial, the way different bodies absorb them can lead to inefficient processing. Taken orally, they first need to pass through your digestive system, where factors like digestion, metabolism, and gut health can reduce the amount of nutrients absorbed. This means that only a fraction of the vitamins you consume reach your bloodstream, and the rest is either lost or not utilized effectively.

In contrast, IV vitamin therapy delivers nutrients directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system entirely and allowing for 100% absorption. With IV therapy, your body gets the full dose of vitamins and minerals it needs to support energy, immune function, hydration, and overall wellness, making it a more effective option for those looking for fast, noticeable results. Plus, with the added fluids, you can combat dehydration and feel refreshed.

While you can benefit from Vitamin IV therapy at any time, treatments are especially essential:

• During cold and flu season
• Pre and post-travel
• You’re struggling with chronic health conditions
• You’ve been getting sick often
• After a period of stress or poor sleep.

At Lifestyle Med Spa, we make sure your session is comfortable, relaxing, and effective. Here’s what to expect:

1. Consultation: Your appointment begins with a consultation with one of our licensed providers. We’ll ask about your health goals, lifestyle, and any concerns you may have.
2. Personalized Treatment Plan: Whether you’re seeking an energy boost, hydration, immune support, or other goals, we’ll customize your IV therapy to suit your specific needs. A nurse practitioner with review any allergies or medical conditions to ensure that the treatment is safe for you.
3. IV Administration: Once your treatment plan is set, you’ll be led to a cozy treatment area where you can relax in a comfortable chair. The environment is calm, and we want you to feel at ease throughout the process. A skilled nurse practitioner will insert a small needle into a vein in your arm to administer the IV. Once the needle is in place, a soft, clear IV line is attached to deliver the fluids and vitamins directly into your bloodstream.

Many clients feel more energized and refreshed immediately after the treatment, though the full benefits may develop over the next 24-48 hours. After your IV therapy, we recommend hydrating regularly and maintaining a healthy diet to support your body’s detoxification and absorption processes. Our team will give you any additional instructions or tips for maximizing the benefits of your treatment!
