Are you striving to feel more energized and revitalized in your everyday life? IV hydration treatment is a great way to get an immediate energy boost or combat ongoing symptoms. IV therapy can do everything from tackling fatigue to creating more vibrant skin.
At Vital Flow Infusions, we provide IV hydration therapy and vitamin injections for people throughout Sioux Falls and surrounding cities. If you are new to IV hydration, you should ask six important questions before your first IV therapy session.
1. How Does IV Therapy Work?
The first question most people have before getting their first IV treatment is how IV therapy works. If you have any concerns about the process, knowing what to expect can really help.
During an IV hydration session, an intravenous catheter is inserted into a vein in your arm. This catheter is attached to a bag of fluids that contain your chosen IV blend. Over the next hour, these fluids will be delivered directly into your bloodstream to rehydrate you and address your specific symptoms.
2. What Nutrients Does IV Therapy Provide?
There are a wide variety of IV therapy blends, all of which include different nutrients. Each IV blend is designed to address specific concerns. These concerns will determine which vitamins and minerals are included in any particular IV blend. Our selection of IV hydration treatments is divided into the following categories:
- Wellness
- Athletic
- Beauty
- Recovery
- Feeling sick
Our unique blends include the exact vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes needed to tackle your symptoms.
For example, the athletic blends are designed to increase energy and improve your physical performance. These blends contain B vitamins, zinc, and various electrolytes to achieve your athletic goals.
Our beauty blends are developed to address aesthetic concerns like dull skin and hair loss. These blends are formulated with biotin, vitamin C, and more. The nutrients in your IV treatment will depend on which blend you choose.
3. What Should I Do to Prepare for IV Therapy?
Another important question to ask is about preparing for your treatment. IV therapy is convenient because there is no real preparation required. You can have an IV therapy session whenever your body needs one without having to do anything to prepare.
Many people seek mobile IV therapy following big events or late-night parties that make them feel exhausted the next day. All you need to do is wake up the next morning and wait for your IV therapy nurse to arrive and administer your treatment.
4. How Long Does an IV Therapy Session Take?
Before having an IV session performed, you may be interested in how long the treatment is going to take.
The exact duration of an IV drip therapy session will vary depending on your unique needs. Some people require a higher volume of fluids, which will extend the duration of your session. Most appointments fall somewhere between 20 minutes and one hour.
5. Is There Any Recovery Process After IV Hydration?
One of the best things about IV therapy is there is no recovery process afterward. There will be a small puncture where your catheter was inserted. A bandage will be applied to provide compression to the site. You can remove this about one to two hours later and return to your normal activities.
Most people find that they feel an increase in their energy in the hours and days immediately following their session. You may feel more spirited, energized, and able to accomplish more during this time.
6. How Often Will I Need IV Therapy Treatment?
When starting IV therapy treatment, many people are concerned about how often they will need to have it done. The reality is that you can get IV hydration as frequently or as seldom as your body requires.
Some people choose to have IV sessions every week to maintain certain results. Others have IV sessions as needed or after big events or serious health concerns. You get to design your own IV therapy schedule to meet your specific needs.
