DURING- During an IV vitamin infusion, Lauren begins by first sanitizing the skin where the needle will be in the vein. A thin needle inside a catheter is then used to pierce the skin and insert the catheter into the vein. The catheter is taped to hold it in place. The process itself is generally painless, other than a slight pinch during insertion. The IV line is attached to a bag containing a saline solution with several different vitamins that’s hung high above the patient’s head. IVs work with the help of gravity, which pushes the fluid down into the blood. Almost all of our IV treatment options generally take 30-45 minutes. You will be able to use this time to relax, use your phone or laptop, or ask questions about other treatments.

AFTER- After your treatment, you will be able to continue your daily activities, go back to work, or exercise. There are no restrictions after your treatment and most patients report a feeling of relaxation or wellness shortly after. Some patients report more energy and better sleep that same day, while others report that it takes 1-2 days to feel “a difference”. However, even if you feel exactly the same, you are still receiving the same benefits of each treatment. Very few side effects have been reported with IV vitamin infusions, but please reach out to us directly with any concerns or questions after your treatment.
