What is IV therapy?
IV therapy is a way of rebalancing or replenishing the nutrients your body needs to function at high capacity. Kim administers your IV therapy and supervises you throughout the process for safety after helping you choose and customize a formula of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Every formula for IV therapy contains a base of saline, which is made up of water and sodium chloride. This helps hydrate your body and facilitate the introduction of nutrients into your bloodstream.
During IV therapy, you’re seated in a comfortable chair in the Aesthetic Envy and Wellness office. Kim disinfects the injection site on your arm after finding a vein in which to place the needle. She then places the catheter needle in the vein, which is connected to the bag of nutrients and saline via a long thin tube.
What are the benefits of IV therapy?
There are many reasons to consider getting IV therapy to benefit your health and wellness. Hydration is a major reason why many people get IV therapy regularly, but it isn’t the only one.
The many nutrients available for IV therapy at Aesthetic Envy and Wellness offer various individual benefits of their own. Kim selects nutrients for your formula based on your needs at the time of treatment. Possible benefits you can get from IV therapy include:
- More energy
- Less fatigue
- Better athletic recovery and performance
- Hangover alleviation
- Jet lag alleviation
- Immune system support
- Headache and migraine relief
An entire IV therapy session at Aesthetic Envy and Wellness lasts between 45 minutes and an hour. After your session, you can enjoy the boost in energy, immune support, and other benefits for several days. You can get IV therapy regularly if you’re happy with your initial experience.
What’s an alternative option to IV therapy?
IV therapy is a unique and efficient way of getting the nutrients into your system quickly because they go straight into your bloodstream. Taking supplements by mouth can be effective in some circumstances, but you don’t absorb the nutrients at a 100% rate when they travel through your digestive system.
As a similarly effective alternative to IV therapy, Kim also provides vitamin injections at Aesthetic Envy and Wellness. These injections go into your muscles, which are full of vascularization. Vitamin injections take less of your time than IV therapy since you don’t have to sit around for an hour-long infusion.
