Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is IV hydration therapy?
IV hydration therapy delivers fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream through a small IV. This allows your body to absorb what it needs quickly and efficiently — much faster than drinking water or taking oral supplements.
2. How long does an appointment take?
Most IV sessions last approximately 45–60 minutes from start to finish. That includes setup, infusion, and post-treatment care.
3. What are the benefits of IV hydration therapy?
Depending on the blend you choose, benefits can include:
Improved hydration and energy
Immune system support
Faster recovery from illness or workouts
Relief from fatigue, migraines, and jet lag
Healthier skin, hair, and nails
4. Is IV therapy safe?
Generally, yes! All treatments are administered by licensed medical professionals under the guidance of our board-certified medical director. We use sterile techniques, medical-grade supplies, and customized protocols to ensure safety.
5. Are there any risks or side effects?
The most common side effects include slight bruising, soreness at the injection site, or a cool sensation in the arm. Prior to your treatment, our team will discuss other more rare side effects and risks that come with IV hydration, as well as monitor you closely throughout your session for safety.
6. Does it hurt?
Most people feel only a quick pinch during the IV insertion. After that, the process is generally comfortable, and you can relax, read, or scroll your phone during the session.
7. How quickly will I feel the effects?
Many clients notice results immediately or within an hour. Some benefits, like improved skin tone or enhanced recovery, may take longer and improve over the following days.
8. Do I need a prescription or doctor’s visit first?
No — we operate under standing medical orders from our licensed medical director. Before each treatment, we review your health history to ensure you’re a good candidate.
9. Do you accept insurance?
No, however IV hydration therapy is usually HSA and FSA eligible. We recommend checking with your coverage.
