IV Hydration Therapy is a powerful wellness treatment that delivers a customized blend of fluids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream.

A Brief History of IV Therapy
The development of intravenous therapy is a story of medical necessity evolving into a tool for wellness and optimization.
-
1600s: The first documented attempts at intravenous injection were performed on animals in England, laying the groundwork for the concept.
-
1830s: Dr. Thomas Latta successfully used IV saline solutions to treat cholera patients suffering from severe dehydration during an epidemic, proving its life-saving potential.
-
Early 20th Century: The development of safe blood transfusion techniques during the World Wars cemented IV therapy as a cornerstone of emergency and hospital medicine for delivering medications, nutrients, and fluids.
-
1960s-Present: The concept of "IV Vitamin Therapy" was pioneered by Dr. John Myers, who created the "Myers' Cocktail" to treat a wide range of chronic conditions. This approach gained popularity among wellness-focused physicians and, more recently, has been embraced by the aesthetic and wellness industries for its rapid and palpable benefits for overall health and vitality.

How IV Therapy Works: Science & Benefits
The Science Behind IV Therapy
Key Benefits of IV Therapy
-
Step 1: A small, flexible catheter is placed into a vein, typically in the arm.
-
Step 2: A customized bag of fluids (usually a saline base) infused with a potent blend of nutrients is connected.
-
Step 3: The solution drips directly into your bloodstream, allowing for 100% absorption and immediate cellular delivery. Your cells are hydrated and flooded with essential nutrients without any loss or delay.
-
Rapid, Profound Hydration: Rehydrates the body at a cellular level more effectively than drinking water alone, which must be processed through the GI tract.
-
Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: Delivers high concentrations of vitamins (B-Complex, B12, C), minerals (Magnesium, Calcium), and antioxidants (Glutathione) that would be impossible to absorb orally.
-
Immediate Symptom Relief: Quickly alleviates the effects of hangovers, jet lag, dehydration, and fatigue.
-
Boosted Wellness: Strengthens the immune system, improves skin health, boosts energy and mood, aids muscle recovery, and promotes overall detoxification.
The IV Therapy Treatment Process
Before Your Appointment
-
Stay hydrated by drinking water beforehand; it makes the IV insertion easier.
-
Have a light meal or snack to prevent lightheadedness.
-
Be prepared to discuss your medical history and current goals with our nurse.
During the Procedure (30-60 mins)
-
Consultation: A licensed medical professional will review your health intake form, discuss your goals, and recommend the perfect IV blend for you (e.g., Myers Cocktail, Beauty Blend, Recovery Drip, etc.).
-
Preparation: You will be seated in a comfortable reclining chair. A nurse will expertly place a small IV catheter into a vein in your arm. This feels like a quick pinch.
-
Infusion: The IV bag is hung, and the drip is started. You can relax, watch a show, listen to music, or simply unwind as the nourishing solution flows into your bloodstream. Most people feel a pleasant, cool sensation in their arm.
-
Monitoring: Our medical staff will monitor you throughout the infusion to ensure your comfort.
-
Completion: Once the bag is empty, the nurse will gently remove the IV and place a small bandage over the site.
Aftercare & Recovery
-
There is no downtime associated with IV therapy.
-
Immediately After: You can resume normal activities immediately. Most people feel an immediate surge of energy, mental clarity, and well-being.
-
Post-Infusion: It is recommended to continue drinking water to maintain hydration levels. The tiny puncture site may have a small bruise, which is normal and will fade in a few days.
IV Therapy Results & Longevity
The results of IV Hydration Therapy are often felt during the infusion itself or immediately afterward. The feeling of deep hydration, mental fog lifting, and a boost in energy is rapid and palpable.
The longevity of the effects depends on the specific cocktail, your body's metabolism, and your lifestyle. Generally, the benefits from a single IV treatment can last from several days to a week. For example:
-
Hangover Relief: Effects are immediate and can last through the day.
-
Energy & Immunity Boost: The high dose of B vitamins and Vitamin C can provide a noticeable boost for 3-5 days.
-
Skin Hydration & Glow: The effects on skin plumpness and radiance can be seen for about a week.
For sustained benefits, many of our clients choose to incorporate IV therapy into their regular wellness routine, scheduling sessions weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
