IV Hydration Q & A
What is intravenous hydration therapy?
Intravenous (IV) hydration therapy is a rejuvenating treatment that involves infusing nourishing solutions directly into your bloodstream. By bypassing the digestive system, nutrient-rich IV solutions absorb more quickly and more effectively than when taking the same vitamins and minerals orally.
Your session begins with a quick placement of a flexible catheter into a vein in your arm. IV hydration takes anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, and many people notice an immediate improvement in their energy, wellness, and health.
Stirling Skin Care Clinic offers several hydrating solutions, each with slightly different formulations to meet your specific needs. The team helps determine which treatment is best for you.
What conditions may benefit from IV hydration therapy?
IV hydration therapy has helped men and women improve their health when they suffer from conditions such as:
- Dehydration
- Headaches and migraines
- Depression and anxiety
- Chronic fatigue
- Allergies
- Respiratory infections
- Thyroid disorders
- Fibromyalgia
- Joint and muscle pain
Many people use IV hydration therapy to recover after extreme physical activity, such as running a marathon, boost energy after an illness, cure a hangover, or improve the quality of their skin.
What nutrients can IV hydration therapy deliver?
IV hydration therapy uses specially formulated solutions that may include vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, including:
- B vitamins
- Magnesium
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin C
- Calcium
- Amino acids
- Antioxidants
To ensure you can safely use IV hydration therapy, your provider takes time to assess your medical history, medication list, and potential risk factors.
Are there risks involved in using IV hydration therapy?
There are some risks involved in receiving IV hydration therapy. This is the reason that it is crucial that you use this treatment while under direct physician supervision.
Some risks involved in taking IV hydration therapy may include:
- Infusing too much of some nutrients
- Causing irritation or infection at the infusion site
- Infusing too much fluid too quickly
- Placing increased workload on kidneys, liver, or heart
