What Is IV Therapy and How Does It Work?
IV Therapy, short for intravenous therapy, is one of the most effective ways to flood your body with the nutrients and hydration it needs to function at its best. When you take vitamins or drink fluids orally, a big portion of what you consume gets filtered out through your digestive system, so only a small percentage actually makes it into your bloodstream. IV therapy completely bypasses that process by delivering everything straight into your veins through a small IV line, meaning your body absorbs nearly 100 percent of what's being infused. That's why a lot of clients feel a noticeable difference by the end of their session, whether it's more energy, clearer skin, less brain fog, or just feeling like themselves again after a rough week.
We offer a range of IV drips formulated to target different goals. The Myers' Cocktail is our classic all-around drip, combining B vitamins, Vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium to support energy, immunity, and overall wellness. Our Hydration drip is a go to for dehydration, hangovers, travel recovery, or hot weather and combines fluids with electrolytes for quick rebound. The Immunity drip is loaded with high dose Vitamin C, zinc, and B vitamins to support your immune system, especially during cold and flu season or when you feel something coming on. Our Beauty drip typically features biotin, Vitamin C, and glutathione to support glowing skin, stronger hair, and healthier nails from within. The Recovery drip is great for athletes or anyone recovering from intense workouts, with amino acids, B vitamins, and electrolytes to rebuild and replenish. We also offer NAD+ drips for cellular repair, energy, mental clarity, and longevity, which have become increasingly popular for clients focused on anti-aging and brain health. Every drip can be customized based on your goals, symptoms, and what your body actually needs.
IV Therapy is a great fit for almost anyone, but it's especially helpful if you're dealing with low energy, frequent illness, chronic fatigue, stress, jet lag, hangover, poor sleep, dehydration, recovery from a hard workout or illness, dull skin, brain fog, or nutrient deficiencies. It's also a favorite for clients prepping for big events, traveling frequently, training for athletic goals, going through a demanding season at work, or just wanting to feel proactively healthier. During your consultation we'll talk through how you're feeling, what your goals are, and your health history to recommend the right drip or combination. In some cases we may suggest bloodwork to make sure we're targeting the right nutrients for you.
A typical IV Therapy appointment takes about 30 to 60 minutes depending on the drip you choose. You'll sit in a comfortable chair while a licensed provider places a small IV in your arm. Most clients describe the needle insertion as a quick pinch that lasts just a second. From there, the drip slowly flows into your bloodstream while you relax, read, scroll, or even take a nap. Some drips can be given as a quick IV push if you're short on time, which takes closer to 15 minutes. We can also add specific nutrients, vitamins, or anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory medications to customize your experience.
Downtime is essentially zero. You might have some very mild soreness or a small bruise at the IV site that fades within a day or two. Some clients feel a cool sensation running up the arm during the drip, or a flushed feeling as the nutrients circulate, both of which are normal. NAD+ specifically can cause a mild flushing, pressure in the chest, or nausea during the infusion, which is why we always run it slowly over a longer period. Once your drip is done, you're free to go about your day, including exercise, work, or events.
Results vary based on the drip and your individual body, but most clients feel a difference within a few hours to the next day. Hydration and Hangover drips often deliver near-immediate relief. Myers' Cocktail and Immunity drips tend to give a boost of energy and wellness that lasts several days to a week. Beauty drips show up as glowier skin over the following week or two with consistent sessions. NAD+ and Recovery drips build with consistency, and clients who do them regularly tend to see the most dramatic results over time. For most IV therapies, we recommend weekly or biweekly sessions to start, then shifting to monthly maintenance once you're feeling the benefits.
IV Therapy pairs well with other wellness and aesthetic treatments like vitamin injections, peptides, GLP-1s, PRF, and skin treatments. It's a solid foundation for anyone wanting to invest in how they feel and function, not just how they look, and a lot of clients build it into their routine as a regular part of self care.
IV Therapy isn't recommended if you're pregnant or breastfeeding without provider approval, have certain kidney or heart conditions, have a known allergy to any of the ingredients in the drip, or are on medications that could interact with high dose nutrients. We'll go through your full health history during your consultation, and in some cases we may recommend bloodwork first to make sure the drip we're giving is the right one for your body and goals.
