What is intravenous (IV) therapy?

IV therapy is intravenous access to liquid vitamins, minerals, nutrients, or medications. You receive IV therapy through a very thin catheter in an arm vein as you relax in the comfortable, spa-like New Reflection Medspa & Wellness Center office. 

When might I need IV therapy?

New Reflection Medspa & Wellness Center offers a full array of IV therapy options to its medspa patients. Some of the main reasons that you might schedule IV therapy sessions include:

• Dehydration
• Weak immune system
• Aging skin
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Cognitive issues
• Migraines
• Asthma
• Allergies
• Fatigue
• Hangover
• Slow wound healing
• Sports recovery

Additionally, IV therapy can be a great supplement to other treatments, like injectables, Hydrafacial MD®, or skin rejuvenation. Of course, it can be a stand-alone treatment anytime you need a fast boost.

What are the advantages of IV therapy versus oral supplements?

Oral supplements can give you important vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, but they take time to reap benefits. Your body breaks the supplements down during the digestive process, which means that you only absorb about 10% of the tablet or capsule into your bloodstream.

With IV therapy, you bypass the digestive system, and the substances go straight into your bloodstream. IV therapy provides 100% absorption directly into the cells that need support. So, you get the maximum effects of any vitamins, minerals, nutrients, or medications you take through IV therapy. 

With IV therapy, you get immediate benefits. It can be a great pick-me-up whether you’re sick or healthy. 

Do I lose the benefits of IV therapy through urination? 

While the IV therapy fluids only stay in your body for a few hours, the vitamins, nutrients, minerals, or medications can stay in your bloodstream for a few weeks or longer. 

How often should I schedule IV therapy?

IV therapy is usually an as-needed treatment. But some patients enjoy the healthy boost so much that they opt for regular IV therapy sessions every couple of weeks to keep a consistent amount of vitamins, minerals, nutrients, or medication in their bloodstream.
