Are you looking for a pick me up to help energize and replenish your body after a workout or a long work day? Maybe you want to infuse your body with essential vitamins to help build up your immunity during cold and flu season? If this sounds like something you’d want to try, IV Therapy is going to be your newest form of self care!

What is IV Therapy?

Intravenous (IV) Vitamin Therapy is the process of delivering essential nutrients and vitamins mixed with saline through an IV bag and inserted directly into the bloodstream. These are the same bags that are filled with saline and medication that you receive at the hospital.

By injecting the vitamins directly into the bloodstream and cells you bypass the gastrointestinal system which allows your body to absorb 100% of the vital nutrients.

IV Therapy can only be administered by a nurse or licensed medical professional in a healthcare setting like a hospital or medical spa.

When did IV Therapy Start?

In the 1970’s Dr. John Meyer developed and administered the first IV vitamin drips. His invention and research lead to the creation of the Myers Cocktail which is still a popularly used mixture for IV therapy today.

In 2018 and 2019 celebrities like the Kardashians, pro athletes and supermodels were seen receiving IV drip therapy after hosting large events, playing professional sports games or attending award shows and after parties.

After becoming popular and going viral throughout the celebrity world, IV therapy businesses started popping up all around the U.S. and were frequented by anyone and everyone wanting to try out the hot new sensation.

Benefits of IV Therapy

The good news is that IV Therapy is not a “one size fits all” program. The benefits can vary depending on what the user is looking to get!

Depending on what you are looking to gain, you can choose from several different “cocktails” or even have a specially formulated IV created just for you. Medispas around the U.S. have different variations of IV drip cocktails.

For example at our medispa, Royalty Care Med Spa in Plantation, FL we offer customized and pre-created IV drip cocktails to give you exactly what you need.

How Long Does IV Therapy Last?

The sessions take about twenty minutes to an hour to complete.
