The Article

IV therapy delivers fluids, vitamins and minerals directly into your bloodstream through a small catheter in your arm. The reason people choose it over supplements comes down to one thing: absorption. What you swallow has to survive digestion, and how much makes it through varies. An IV delivers the full dose.

The Reasons People Book

When Meals Are Not Cutting It

Stress, travel, illness and a stretch of poor eating all draw down your reserves. An infusion is a direct way to replenish them, and many clients say they feel the difference in energy within a day.

Immune Season

Drips with vitamin C and zinc, nutrients the immune system relies on, are popular in the fall and winter and before travel.

Bouncing Back After Travel or Training

After hard training, a long illness or a big week, infusions with B vitamins, magnesium and amino acids are commonly chosen to support recovery.

Skin and Healthy Aging

Skin-focused drips supply the nutrients involved in collagen production and cell renewal, working from the inside while facials and microneedling work from the outside.

What a Session Is Like

A provider reviews your health history before your first infusion. You sit in a recliner for 30 to 45 minutes while the drip runs, and most people read, work or just rest. There is no downtime. How often to come in depends on your goals, and your provider will give you a straight answer rather than a standing appointment you do not need.

What IV Therapy Will Not Do

IV therapy is a wellness tool, not a medical treatment for a diagnosed condition, and it is not a substitute for sleep, food or water. Results vary from person to person. Used that way, as one part of a routine, it is a reasonable one.
