What is IV therapy?

IV therapy uses a thin tube connected to a small needle to deliver fluids directly into your bloodstream via a vein in your arm. It’s the quickest way to administer medications, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients into your body. 

Food and oral supplements take several hours to absorb into your body. They lose their potency while traveling through your digestive tract, providing less immediate effects than IV therapy. Oral delivery methods can also upset your stomach, causing nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. 

Since IV therapy provides immediate absorption of nutrients and fluids with maximum potency, you feel their effects right away.

I’m a healthy eater. Can I still benefit from IV therapy?

IV therapy offers several benefits for healthy eaters. Along with addressing nutrient deficiencies, this treatment improves your overall hydration and can:

• Boost metabolism
• Increase energy
• Improve digestion
• Enhance skin clarity
• Strengthen immune function
• Boost mental clarity
• Improve athletic performance
• Relieve hangover symptoms

With multiple options, the aesthetic and wellness team at Carmichael Medical Clinic can formulate your IV cocktail to address your specific concerns.

How long does IV therapy last in the body?

The duration of your IV therapy depends on several factors, such as the type of infusion, the dosage, and your metabolism. Some people experience noticeable improvements in their energy levels and symptoms for several hours or days after IV therapy. Others enjoy their results for a week or longer.

Many IV treatments require a series of sessions to provide long-term enhancements or symptom relief. After an initial consultation and comprehensive medical history review, the team can develop a personalized treatment plan that helps you achieve your health and wellness goals.

How long does IV therapy take?

IV therapy typically takes about 30-60 minutes, but treatment times can vary depending on your needs. During each session, you can relax in a comfortable chair while reading a book, watching TV on your smartphone or tablet, or simply resting.

How often should I get IV therapy for the best results?

The team may recommend weekly or monthly IV therapy treatments depending on your needs and health history. Some individuals require less frequent treatments to achieve optimal health and wellness. The team can adjust your treatment plan as needed to ensure you enjoy maximum benefits from IV therapy.

IV therapy is a safe and effective treatment that can improve your physical and mental function. Call Carmichael Medical Clinic or schedule an appointment online today to learn more.
