Frequently Asked Questions
IV Vitamin Therapy
How long does an IV drip take?
Nutrient IV infusions take approximately 30-45 mins to be fully administered.
What are the IV bags made of?
IV vitamin nutrition consists of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that are naturally found in the body. Introducing these nutrients gives that body a boost of what it needs to function optimally.
Can anyone get an IV drip?
Individuals with a history of kidney problems, kidney disease or failure, congestive heart failure, generalized edema, bleeding disorder, pulmonary edema, or any other life-threatening health condition are not recommended to participate in IV vitamin therapy. Always check with your primary care provider prior to an appointment or check with our primary care provider at our clinic if you are unsure.
How often can I do IV therapy?
IV therapy can be done as frequently as twice-weekly (mostly for athletes or for individuals on a special program), however for the average individual, once monthly is a good balance to add to your lifestyle.
How soon will I feel the effects?
You can feel some effects immediately after the completion of your IV drip depending on your health, nutrition, and hydration status. Some individuals made need more than one treatment to feel the full effects of the IV nutritional bags.
What do I do after my treatment?
There are no restrictions after treatments, however, rest is recommended along with other lifestyle enhancers such as exercise, balanced meals, and adequate water intake.
Vitamin injections
How soon do I feel the effect of the vitamin(s)?
On a cellular level, our body may absorb each vitamin faster or slower than others. This can also be dependent on what the body is lacking and what it needs. Any vitamin or mineral that is given through the muscle (intramuscularly) or through the IV is absorbed much quicker than anything taken by mouth. It will reach the bloodstream quickly to be absorbed by your cells and organs.
What will vitamin injections do for me?
Essentially, vitamins will assist the body to function at its best. In general, vitamins can increase your energy level, boost your immune system, promote red blood cell production (vitamin B12), assist with mood stabilization, promote healthy cell production and regeneration, promote healthy skin, hair, and nails, and so much more.
Can the vitamins be given through the IV?
Most vitamins can be given via IV with the exception of vitamin D. Our healthcare provider will be able to determine which vitamin suits you as well as what route is best.
Primary Care
I cannot make it to the office.
No worries. There is a telehealth option for a few primary care services such as medication refills, some sick visits, and a review of lab results.
Body Sculpting
Can anyone do body contouring?
Not everyone can participate in ultrasonic cavitation and radiofrequency. Limitations include individuals with health conditions such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, uncontrolled high cholesterol, kidney problems, liver disease, surgery less than 8 months, pregnancy, heart conditions, pacemaker, and more. An initial consultation is always recommended before body sculpting services.
When will I start seeing results?
Results vary due to many factors such as hydration status. Immediate results can be seen, however, some individuals may start to see results 24 to 48 hours after service.
Does the machine hurt?
Treatments are painless! You will never feel pain with body sculpting sessions with the ultrasonic cavitation machine. You will hear a high-pitched ringing in the ear during cavitation which is normal. You may feel some discomfort with vacuum therapy and wood therapy techniques but never pain!
What should I do before and after each session?
Drink plenty of water before and after treatment(s). Drink at least 2 liters of water each day leading up to your appointments and at least 48 hours after. Tea can be an exception (PLEASE DO NOT ADD ANYTHING TO IT) PLAIN TEA ONLY!
Do not eat two (2) to four (4) hours prior to treatment(s) and up to 1 hour after your appointment.
Perform physical activity following each treatment to maximize your results at least 30 mins to 1 hour daily to see optimal results.
Manage caloric intake; excess calories will counteract the laser treatments. Follow a fat-free, low starch, and low sugar lifestyle for best results.
Alcoholic beverages and high sugar content drinks must be avoided before and after treatment(s) up to 48 hours after.
DO NOT HAVE A WARM OR HOT SHOWER, SPA OR SAUNA IMMEDIATELY AFTER TREATMENT.
Remember to exercise for at least 30 minutes after treatment to stimulate lymph movement.
What if I have my menstrual cycle?
FOR MEDICAL REASONS: PLEASE RESCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT IF YOU ARE ON YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE. DO NOT BOOK AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE WEEK OF YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE.
Will all my cellulite go away?
Every individual is different and results may vary. For clients with lower levels of cellulite, it will get rid of it entirely. For clients with higher levels of cellulite, the treatment will simply reduce the appearance. The number of procedures needed will depend on the person and the levels they fall under.
