IV therapy is nothing new in the series like Grey’s Anatomy, House, or ER fans know. IVs are a standard in the medical industry and are used to deliver blood, replace lost fluids, and administer medications quickly.
What’s new is the IV bar, lounge, or spa in the strip mall close to your home that claims to be able to help treat or even prevent a hangover.
You might be curious about what it’s all about and even consider experimenting with this newest wellness trend.
These drip bars and IV therapy lounges advertise the following benefits with their selection of vitamin and nutrient cocktails:
- Prevent hangovers
- Keep your skin clear
- Boost your fitness outcome and recovery
- Boost your mental focus
- Boost your body’s immune system
How Effective are IV Hydration and IV Vitamin Therapy?
The idea behind IV hydration therapy and IV vitamin therapy is that giving your body specially formulated cocktails of vitamins, nutrients, antioxidants.
Occasionally, even medications intravenously can help replenish and detoxify your body more quickly than, say, drinking water, eating a healthy diet, or taking medication orally.
What To Expect From An IV Infusion Therapy Session?
At Saint Aesthetix, all IV infusion therapy and vitamin injections are given in the convenience of our clinic.
The type of infusion chosen by each patient and the number of shots given determine the precise length of each IV therapy session. Infusion therapy typically takes a little longer than vitamin injections, which can usually be done fast.
Although the injection site may experience a tiny pinching sensation from the needle, you shouldn’t have any irritation or other side effects and should be in perfect shape to leave the office and continue with your day.
The results of IV infusion therapy will vary slightly for each person. What you feel after a treatment depends on the particular drip you choose and your unique body type. However, since your body can instantly absorb the nutrients, almost everyone benefits from IV infusion therapy almost right away. A longer-lasting effect and a more thorough body cleanse and treatment may require more sessions.
Is IV Hydration And Vitamin Therapy Safe?
Users of IV therapy can gain a lot from it. The body’s capacity to absorb a large concentration of vitamins and nutrients carries no recognized hazards. However, the needle injection itself carries a few negligible hazards. Some of these dangers and adverse effects are equivalent to getting your blood taken for a lab test or getting an IV during a hospital procedure.
Due to vascular fragility, there is a minor danger that a vein wall could be punctured or torn during this operation, as with any similar procedure.
This can lead to fluid leakage into the surrounding area and may momentarily produce small swelling or bruising near the injection site. You can also feel a little bit of burning around the needle, but this will go away once the IV is switched to a different vein. You might not be a suitable candidate for an IV infusion if you have small or difficult-to-find veins, have ever had trouble getting blood collected or receiving other intravenous injections.
