- Skin, hair, and nail health
- Stress reduction and overall wellness
Each IV formulation is customized based on your health goals and lab or clinical evaluation by our medical team.
PRE-TREATMENT CARE
24 Hours Before Your Appointment
- Hydrate well: Drink at least 32–64 oz of water the day before treatment.
- Eat a balanced meal before your session — do not arrive on an empty stomach.
- Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine 24 hours prior to your IV therapy, as they can cause dehydration.
- Continue prescribed medications unless otherwise directed by your provider.
- If you are taking blood thinners or have a known bleeding disorder, inform your provider before your session.
- Avoid vigorous exercise or heat exposure (saunas, hot yoga) on the morning of treatment.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing with easy access to your arms.
Day of Treatment
- Arrive well hydrated and fed — this helps with easier IV insertion and comfort.
- Bring a snack or drink if you tend to feel lightheaded during blood draws or IV infusions.
- Notify your provider if you:
- Feel unwell, have fever, or signs of infection.
- Have allergies or sensitivity to any medications or supplements.
- Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under treatment for a chronic illness.
POST-TREATMENT CARE
Immediately After IV Therapy
- You may experience increased energy, hydration, and mental clarity immediately or within several hours.
- Mild tenderness, bruising, or redness at the IV site is normal and should resolve in 24–48 hours.
- Apply a cool compress if needed to reduce any localized discomfort.
- Keep the bandage on for 1–2 hours after your treatment.
- Avoid rubbing or scratching the IV site.
First 24 Hours
- Continue to hydrate: drink at least 6–8 glasses of water to enhance vitamin absorption and support detoxification.
- Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine — these may reduce hydration benefits.
- You may resume normal activities immediately, including exercise, unless otherwise advised.
- Eat a balanced meal rich in protein and fiber to stabilize blood sugar levels after infusion.
- Some individuals may feel lightheaded or flushed after treatment — this is temporary. Sit or lie down until it resolves.
If You Experience Bruising or Discomfort
- Bruising is uncommon but can occur, especially in patients who bruise easily or take blood-thinning medications.
- Apply Arnica gel or a warm compress after 48 hours to help resolve bruising faster.
- If swelling, pain, or redness increases beyond 48 hours, contact our office immediately.
