IV Therapy FAQ
10 frequently asked questions
Common questions about IV vitamin therapy, hydration treatments, and infusion services at IAM Wellness.
1What is IV therapy?
IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous drip, bypassing the digestive system for 100% absorption and immediate benefits.
2Does IV therapy hurt?
Most patients feel only a small pinch during IV insertion. The infusion itself is painless, and many find the experience relaxing.
3How long does an IV therapy session take?
Standard IV infusions take 30-60 minutes. Some specialized treatments like NAD+ may take 2-4 hours.
4How often should I get IV therapy?
This depends on your goals. Some patients benefit from weekly sessions, others prefer monthly maintenance, or treatment on an as-needed basis for events, travel, or recovery.
5What are the benefits of IV therapy over oral supplements?
IV therapy provides 100% bioavailability compared to 20-40% from oral supplements. This means faster, more effective results with higher nutrient levels.
6Is IV therapy safe?
Yes, IV therapy is very safe when administered by trained medical professionals. We use sterile techniques and pharmaceutical-grade ingredients.
7Can IV therapy help with hangovers?
Yes! Our recovery IV formulas rehydrate, replenish electrolytes, reduce nausea, and restore essential nutrients for rapid hangover relief.
8What should I eat before IV therapy?
We recommend eating a light meal before your appointment. Being well-hydrated also helps with IV insertion.
9Are there any side effects from IV therapy?
Side effects are rare but may include mild bruising at the injection site, a cool sensation during infusion, or temporary flushing. These resolve quickly.
10Can I customize my IV drip?
Absolutely! We offer customized formulations based on your specific health goals, lab work, and preferences.
