FAQS
What is IV hydration?
IV vitamin therapy is a medical and wellness treatment that involves the direct administration of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients into the bloodstream through an IV drip. This method allows for complete absorption of the nutrients, bypassing the digestive system, which often limits nutrient uptake when taken orally. IV vitamin therapy is widely used for hydration, immune support, energy enhancement, detoxification, athletic recovery, anti-aging and supports overall wellness.
Who would benefit from IV hydration?
Everyone! IV hydration (therapy) can hydrate, replenish, and nourish your body. It can be for boosting your immune system, defying the aging process, or enhancing your recovery. Incorporating bi-weekly, monthly or as needed basis can help promote overall wellness for an individual's optimal self.
Is IV hydration painful?
It’s not! Beyond the initial poke (can feel like a quick pinch), the process is painless. If you fear needles that’s okay- It only lasts two seconds and we’ll be there to talk you through the whole service!
How often should I receive IV hydration and vitamin injectables?
It depends! Every one is different and has different goals. Depending on what you are looking for, 2-3 weeks is what the average healthy person receives. Most of the time injectables are weekly initially then, on a biweekly schedule after one month of consistency.
How long does IV hydration take?
From start to finish IV hydration normally takes 40-60 minutes.
Should I substitute emergency room or primary care provider visits for IV hydration?
No, do not substitute the emergency room or primary care provider visitations for IV hydration. If you’re severely sick or dehydrated please see your primary care provider or visit the nearest emergency room. Living Drip Wellness Spa, Inc. will not serve severely dehydrated clients or clients that are visibly intoxicated to an unsafe amount.

Is IV hydration equivalent to drinking the recommended 8 glasses of water a day?
No, IV hydration is not the same as drinking 8 glasses of water per day. In fact, it's better! Not only is it more hydration, but you’re also receiving essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients as well. Although oral hydration is beneficial and should be practiced on a daily basis, IV hydration is providing your entire body with fluids and vitamins to help you feel like your best self. Any multifaceted individual with limited time will benefit from this service.
Will I feel a difference immediately?
It varies from person to person. Most of the time, yes! Many individuals feel the effects before the drip is completed. It may take a couple of bags to reach optimal hydration and benefits. Your body will thank you for prioritizing its hydration! You may experience increased urination in the first hour which is a good sign!
What happens after the IV is in place?
Once the IV is placed, your drip is initiated and your trained registered nurse will wait until your drip is complete to remove the IV. At this time, most clients book an add-on service such as injectable vitamins. Please have a small area designated for a nurse to sit and monitor/serve you during IV hydration.
