Frequently Asked Questions
IV is short for intravenous (in the vein). We provide IV hydration by using a small catheter that’s placed directly into your vein. This allows us to hydrate you more effectively and efficiently than if you were to drink water. Yes, there is a small poke with a small needle, but once the vein is accessed, the needle comes out and the plastic catheter is left in its place.
IV therapy is a method to quickly administer fluids, vitamins, and minerals directly into the bloodstream. By going directly into the bloodstream, your body can absorb 100% of the vitamins; taken orally vitamins experience about 20-30% absorption due to the digestive tract. Our services are meant to act as supplements and not to replace oral hydration. Remember to HYDRATE!
Appointments are the easiest way to guarantee your service. Business hours may change depending on daily client levels. Walk-ins, possibly, may not be seen.

We do not accept or file for insurance claims. Talk with or review your insurance coverage to find out if IV hydration services are covered, and how to personally settle a claim. FSA/HSA debit cards accepted.
Typically the whole process will take approximately 45-60 minutes to complete. NAD+ drips take approximately 2hrs per 250mg.
There is an IV consent form emailed to you upon booking an IV hydration. Completing this form prior to arriving for your infusion will save some time.
If you are unsure of your hydration level, drink 2 to 3 glasses of water about an hour prior to your appointment. This will help to plump up your veins and make the IV placement easier for everyone.
If you can, avoid anti-histamine and decongestant drugs before your IV. While these medications are good for clearing stuffy noses, relieving allergy symptoms or alleviating headache, they have a constricting effect on your blood vessels.
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but we strive to stick everyone just once with our experienced Registered Nurse. That said, we do use the smallest gauge needle that results in a small pinch if anything.
For preventative health and wellness, we recommend 1-2 IV drips per month to help balance out any vitamin deficiencies.
The frequency of IV therapy is determined on an individual basis, as everyone's situation is unique.
You should begin to see and feel results within an hour of receiving your hydration. You may even start to feel results during the hydration process. But, it can take up to 1-2 days to feel the maximum benefits.
All of our vitamins are FDA approved and go through high levels of testing. All IVs are administered by a registered nurse and performed under a medical director. Before a client receives IV therapy, their health history is evaluated.
Side effects from an IV drip are generally non-existent or very mild. On occasion, you may experience some discomfort, bruising, itching, inflammation, or redness at or around the site of injection, and this could last from a few minutes to several days. However, true allergic reactions are extremely rare.
