What Are IV Infusions?
Intravenous infusion therapy is not new, and professionals have used it in hospitals to hydrate patients, especially during pregnancy. It uses an IV inserted directly into the vein to deliver nutrient-rich hydration, which the body absorbs much better than drinking.
The solution in IV treatments often consists of saline (for better absorption), electrolytes, and a wide variety of vitamins (B-complex and C at least). Many healthcare professionals use IV therapy sessions to treat the following conditions:
- Jetlag
- Hangovers
- Hyperpigmentation
- Dehydration
- Nutrient deficiency
- Gastrointestinal disorders
- Surgical recovery
However, you don’t need one of these conditions to receive IV treatments. They work great for people who want to improve athletic performance or engage in preventive wellness.
Benefits of IV Drips
IV infusion services provide several benefits for your skin and overall health.
Increased Hydration
Intravenous hydration enters your bloodstream much more quickly than drinking water. If you regularly drink electrolyte-infused drinks to hydrate, you know how well they replenish your body. Because an IV can deliver electrolytes directly into your bloodstream, they can help you more quickly recover from dehydration, no matter the cause.
Better Nutrient Absorption
Electrolytes aren’t the only beneficial infusion you can receive directly into your vascular system. According to the Skin Science Clinic, 90% of people have a nutrient deficiency. A major factor in this deficiency arises from the fact that taking vitamins orally only allows for about 15% nutrient absorption.
Much like the treatment’s effects on hydration, an intravenous injection allows more complete nutrient absorption, allowing for more complete recovery.
Facilitates Anti-Aging
An IV treatment can include Glutathione, a cellular peptide made of three amino peptides and commonly called the master detoxifier. This can have significant anti-aging effects on your skin, creating a lightening and brightening effect that people often call a youthful glow. Even if you don’t have a medical condition requiring an IV treatment, you can take advantage of its incredible skincare benefits.
Improves Athletic Performance
If you’re an athlete, consider undergoing an IV drip infusion to improve your performance. The amino acids in the infusion boost cellular healing and, over time, can strengthen your muscles.
It can also help improve muscle growth, leading to better exercise results. You’ll likely notice an increase in endurance as well.
Rapid Procedure
One of the best benefits of infusion therapy is that it can be done over your lunch break. The procedure causes little or no pain and takes between 30 and 60 minutes. If you need more energy to get through your day, consider forgoing coffee or an energy drink and booking an appointment for an infusion instead.
Enhanced Immune System
If you frequently come down with a cold or take a lot of sick days, an IV infusion can boost your immune system. One of the most essential vitamins for immunity is the eight B complex vitamins: riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, and more. While many believe these vitamins grant you energy, they help you absorb nutrients from your food.
The amino acids in the infusion can also improve your body’s healing capabilities. The effects can last up to three weeks, so schedule a treatment and assess whether your overall health has improved.
Improved Skin Health
IV drips often contain vitamin C, another excellent source of great skin health. Not only does it protect your skin from sun damage, but it also gives it a soft and vibrant look.
Increased Energy
From increased hydration to an infusion of nutrients and essential vitamins, you’ll likely have an energy boost for several days after an IV treatment. While the skin health and boosted immune system can last up to eight weeks, the energy-boosting effects often wane faster.
Receiving an IV Drip Treatment
What happens during an IV drip treatment? First, they’ll determine whether you’re a good fit for the treatment. Few conditions could prevent you from receiving the treatment, but they include high blood pressure, kidney or liver disease, increased cholesterol, or a history of blood clots or heart problems.
During the treatment, you can expect a comfortable chair. The technician will insert the IV needle into the injection site. Most people feel a small, brief pinch, and some don’t feel the prick at all. If you have a fear of needles, talk with your provider about solutions, such as a topical anesthetic or an anti-anxiety medication.
During the procedure, you can use your phone, read a book, or even take a nap. It will take about an hour to complete.
Other Considerations
If you still have questions or concerns about the treatment process, you can contact us. However, we also find the following considerations answer the questions most people have:
- You can usually use the bathroom during the treatment, which is common because of the high level of hydration it imparts. Your provider will pause the treatment while you use the restroom.
- You may experience some swelling at the injection site, but most people don’t experience any side effects.
- You can immediately return to your daily activities without any required recovery period.
