And while it is becoming more and more popular, not a lot of patients are educated on IV hydration therapy and all that it entails. therefore, in this article, we will be exploring a few important facts to know about the procedure.
What is IV Therapy?
Whether you’ve heard it being called an IV drip, IV hydration, or IV infusion therapy, this health and wellness treatment has been around for years, and has recently became quite popular amongst practices like My MD Spa, the best medical spa NYC has to offer. It is a treatment that delivers a number of vitamins, minerals, medications, hydration, and other compounds straight to a patient’s bloodstream using an intravenous needle. IV infusion therapy is often given to patients who might be suffering from issues such as dehydration or nutrient deficiency, and is known to provide patients relief from unwanted symptoms much faster and more efficiently than any other means of administration (such as oral). IV drips have been fabricated into different IV cocktails that combine different compounds to treat certain issues and provide different benefits, such as relief from a hangover or migraine, to improving the tone or texture of the skin.
How Does IV Therapy Work?
One of the main reasons medical professionals like Dr. V recommend IV infusion therapy is because of how fast and effective it is at treating certain issues, and helping to deliver nutrients or medications to the body. Using an IV drip, patients can experience relief from a hangover, migraine, or common dehydration issues in under 30 minutes – whereas the same relief would take hours if they were to take the meds or compounds orally. Because IV drips are able to bypass the body’s digestive system, and deliver things straight to the bloodstream, it not only saves time, but allows a higher concentration of the actual compound to be absorbed into the body. IV drips can provide 100% concentration of a substance, whereas oral administration is often well below 50%. According to the team at My MD Spa, the best medical spa NYC has to offer, during an IV vitamin treatment, you get a liquid mixture of saline along with vitamins and minerals. The professional administering the drip will need to find and access a vein to secure the needle.Once the needle is secured, a tube is connected and delivers the solution from the drip bag into the bloodstream. The administering professional will monitor your infusion to make sure the IV drip is flowing at the correct rate. The whole process typically takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. And patients will often report feeling 100% better during that time.
Benefits of IV Therapy
There are tons of different benefits to IV vitamin treatments and IV therapy as a whole. For patients who might be deficient in certain vitamins or nutrients, they can have those vitamins absorbed into the body in under 30 minutes and get relief for their symptoms. And the same will go for someone who might be sick and severely dehydrated. Often times such a patient won’t be able to drink water, especially not in the amount they need to, without feeling sick or throwing up. IV drips can make a huge difference here. Often times, patients can also use a combination vitamin and mineral drip to improve their immune system and better fight off disease and illness. In addition to these basic vitamin, mineral and hydration drips, there are also a number of different IV therapy cocktails that make use of a number of combinations of compounds like Glutathione, a powerful antioxidant known to provide benefits such as improved energy, metabolism benefits, improved heart and respiratory health, cell and organ detoxification and much more. The fact is that the benefits one can attain using the countless drips out there are numerous. Some of the other popular IV drips offer benefits like immune system boost, enhanced energy, bone health, improved vitamin/mineral absorption, aiding in weight loss, boosting metabolism, improving dry, peeling skin, and much more.
