What is vitamin IV therapy?

Vitamin intravenous (IV) therapy delivers nutrients into the bloodstream through a catheter. This fast, effective treatment can replenish vital nutrients quicker than consuming food or supplements. Vitamin IV therapy bypasses the digestive system, so you feel its effects immediately without gastrointestinal discomfort.

Vitamin IV therapy allows 100% absorption of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Dr. Su and the team can customize your cocktail of fluids to boost your energy levels, accelerate your metabolism, and more.

What are the benefits of vitamin IV therapy?

Vitamin IV therapy offers several nutritional benefits, such as:

• Accelerated weight loss
• Increased metabolism
• Boosted energy levels
• Reduced constipation
• Faster nutrient absorption
• Reduced depression and anxiety symptoms
• Improved cardiovascular health
• Minimized hangover symptoms
• Reduced premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms
• Enhanced cognitive function

Dr. Su and the team frequently recommend vitamin IV therapy to athletes and individuals hoping to adopt an active lifestyle. IV therapy is a safe, effective post-recovery tool that can reduce muscle soreness and combat fatigue.

How is vitamin IV therapy different from intramuscular injections?

Vitamin IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into your bloodstream for immediate absorption, while intramuscular injections direct nutrients into your muscles. Each delivery method has pros and cons.

While vitamin IV therapy allows you to take advantage of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants immediately, its effects typically wear off within a week. Alternatively, intramuscular injections gradually release nutrients into your bloodstream, allowing for slower absorption and longer-lasting results.

Skin Shop medSpa offers multiple types of intramuscular injections, including:

B-12 shots

Vitamin B-12 can help boost energy and metabolism, improve mental clarity, and enhance concentration.

Glutathione

Glutathione is an antioxidant that may help improve the appearance of your skin and reduce joint pain.

LipoStat Plus

LipoStat Plus is a blend of methionine, choline, vitamin B-6, and inositol that supports healthy weight loss by boosting metabolism.

Can I combine vitamin IV therapy with other treatments?

Dr. Su and the team can combine IV therapy with multiple nonsurgical treatments, such as:

• Microneedling
• Chemical peels
• Fillers
• Neuromodulators
• Hair restoration

The medical spa also offers Upneeq®, a prescription eye treatment that temporarily brightens and opens drooping eyelids. Upneeq is ideal for individuals with acquired ptosis, when the upper eyelid sags over the eye.
