What Is IV Therapy?

IV Therapy is a wellness treatment that infuses high-quality vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and electrolytes directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous drip. By bypassing the digestive system, IV drips allow for superior absorption and rapid delivery of nutrients at a cellular level, supporting energy, immunity, hydration, and balance throughout the body.

  • Increased energy and overall wellness
  • Stronger immunity and faster recovery
  • Deep hydration and detox support

Frequently Asked Questions

What are vitamin shots and how do they work?

IV therapy is a wellness treatment that delivers essential vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream through an IV line. By bypassing the digestive system, IV vitamin therapy allows nutrients to be absorbed more efficiently compared to oral supplements, supporting hydration, skin health, energy, and overall wellness.

How is IV vitamin therapy different from oral supplements?

With oral administration, nutrients pass through the gastrointestinal tract, where absorption can be limited. Vitamin IV therapy uses intravenous administration to deliver nutrients directly into the bloodstream for faster results. This method supports optimal health by providing certain vitamins, amino acids, and electrolytes more efficiently than oral supplements alone.

Is IV Therapy the same as hospital IV treatments?

No. While IV fluids and IV rehydration are used in hospital or outpatient settings to treat severe dehydration, blood pressure changes, or deliver medications to critically ill patients, wellness-based IV treatments in a med spa focus on hydration, immune support, and overall vitality. Hospital IV lines, blood transfusions, and treating acute asthma are part of modern medical practice and internal medicine, not spa services.

What are the benefits of IV vitamin therapy?

IV treatments may support energy, skin hydration, immune function, and overall wellness by supplying essential nutrients through iv infusions. Many patients choose vitamin supplementation with IV drips to feel refreshed, hydrated, and balanced, especially during stress, travel, or chronic fatigue concerns. Vitamin C, intravenous vitamin blends, and various vitamins can help support the body at a cellular level.

What nutrients are used in IV drips?

Our IV bags may include vitamin C, B vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and electrolytes. These vitamins and minerals are delivered in a saline solution through a tube attached to a peripheral line placement. Unlike oral supplements, intravenous nutrient therapies allow critical nutrients to circulate through the circulatory system immediately for enhanced support.

Is IV Therapy safe?

IV fluid administration is generally safe when performed by trained medical professionals or healthcare providers. As with any wellness or medical procedure, there are potential risks such as local complications at the insertion site, allergic reactions, or fluid overload in rare cases. IV therapy is not a replacement for medical treatments for chronic health conditions.

Can IV Therapy help with vitamin deficiencies or chronic fatigue?

Vitamin IV therapy can support individuals experiencing low energy, dehydration, or vitamin deficiencies by providing essential vitamins directly into the bloodstream. While intravenous multivitamin therapy has been explored in alternative medicine practitioners and systematic review discussions, patients with chronic health conditions should consult a healthcare professional first.

Who is not a candidate for IV vitamin therapy?

Patients with kidney stones, electrolyte imbalances, or certain medical conditions should avoid high doses of intravenous vitamin supplementation. Healthcare provider clearance is recommended for individuals with neurological conditions or those under cancer management or internal medicine care.

Does health insurance cover IV Therapy?

Because IV vitamin therapy is a wellness-based service, health insurance typically does not cover it. Hospital setting treatments, such as IV fluid for severe dehydration, acute asthma care, nebulized magnesium sulfate, or other treatments, are different from elective wellness IV supplementation.

What can I expect during IV administration?

Your provider will establish intravenous access, place a small IV line into a vein, and deliver iv fluids through an iv bag. You’ll relax while nutrients flow through the blood vessels and circulatory system. Most IV treatments last 30–60 minutes, and you can resume normal activities afterward.
