IV Information

IV Therapy is a method of administering Saline and any vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and/or amino acids directly into the bloodstream through intravenous (IV) infusion. It provides your body with nearly instant valuable nutrients by bypassing the digestive system and has been clinically proven to be more effective than oral supplements.

There are countless benefits of IV infusion therapy including increased energy, instantaneous vitamin absorption, and maintained hydration.

In short no, it does not hurt. But while everyone is different, the overall consensus from our patients on the process of starting an IV is “wow, that wasn’t bad at all!”. After a small and fast ‘pinch’ the IV will be inserted and you can start relaxing. Once finished, the provider will circle back to disconnect your IV and apply a small Band-Aid to get you on your way.

All vitamins and nutrients used at Youthful Expressions Med Spa are FDA approved and go through high levels of testing. Every IV therapy treatment is administered by a Licensed provider or medically trained staff member.

We do not accept insurance for IV vitamin therapy.

While you will benefit from a single IV vitamin treatment, our average IV clients visit 1-2x a week, depending on their lifestyle and goals. More than 2x per week is not recommended for most people

Once the treatment has finished, clients can resume most, if not all activities immediately except for extremely heavy lifting. A staff member will discuss all discharge information with you before and after your treatment.

If B vitamins are beneficial individually, imagine how powerful they can be when combined! Vitamin B-complex contains the vitamins of the B complex group, including B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12.

Vitamin B7 (biotin) – essential for healthy hair, nails, and nerve function. Vitamin B9 (folic acid) – needed to make DNA and genetic material. Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) – used to maintain the health of nerves and blood cells.

Like iron, zinc is a metal found throughout our body and is considered an essential nutrient our bodies can only get from outside sources. It’s responsible for the creation of DNA, it plays an essential role in the wound-healing process, and it also fortifies your immune system when your body is invaded by a virus. It may also help with balancing hormone levels in the body.
