In those situations where IV Therapy is used for re-hydration or anti- hangover, 1-3 sessions per week should be adequate. In those situations where IV therapy is utilized to promote your overall wellness with the addition of nutrients, one infusion every 2 weeks is both ideal and adequate for most people since nutrient levels are elevated for a couple of weeks following an infusion.

If your purpose is to re-hydrate or to fight hangover, the effects of IV infusion may be felt immediately. If your purpose is to boost your energy levels, the effects of IV infusion therapy can be noticed within three days to two weeks after treatment. If you are having an IV infusion to accelerate your metabolism, or to improve your skin, it may take at least three weeks before you start to notice the positive effects.

The effects can last for up to a few days after completing the procedure, depending on a number of different factors like the type of IV package, your hydration level and your body's natural metabolic rate.

It is quite common for patients to complain of a funny taste in their mouth when their IV lines are flushed with prepared syringes of saline.

Does an IV drip make you urinate more frequently? One of the benefits of being well hydrated is improved bladder and kidney health. You may need to urinate after receiving a drip, as they contain a volume of balanced isotonic rehydrating IV fluid.

Many ask whether an IV will hurt when going into the vein. When an IV needle is placed, it can cause some slight discomfort. You may feel a small sting or pinch for a few seconds when the needle is inserted in your arm or hand. The fluid that goes into your bloodstream is a lower temperature than body temperature, so it can temporarily make you feel a little cold. We have snuggly blankets to help warm you up, and you should feel back to normal very soon after your Drip.

Yes, you can carry on with your normal daily routine. We would recommend leaving an hour or so after having the Drip before exercising.

A Drip is an Intravenous Drip which is administered by putting a cannula into a vein in your arm. You will then be attached to the Drip for around 40 minutes while the fluid and nutrients enter your bloodstream. A Booster Shot is an injection of a single nutrient into the muscle in the arm.
