1. What is IV Therapy?
Intra- in intravenous comes from the Latin preposition that means “within or inside” while -venous is a Latin suffix that refers to “a blood vessel or a vein.” Therefore, intravenous or IV therapy is intended to be administered within a vein to relieve symptoms, boost health and wellness, and cure an ailment.
2. How does your IV Therapy work?
IV therapy is safe and quick to deliver fluids, medications, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream. As it goes into the bloodstream, it no longer needs to pass through the gastrointestinal tract, making the absorption more effective and efficient.
After consenting to the treatment and providing our team with your brief medical history and medications, you may now choose the vitamin infusion of your choice from our array of drips. While you are filling out the necessary documents, we do the preparations for your therapy in a sterile manner. Most of the time, the injection site is on the arm, which will be cleaned and swabbed with a small cotton ball of antiseptic. The IV will be set and secured in place. Once the treatment is complete, our registered nurses will carefully remove the catheter tube from the site, cover it, and hand you over the final documents to fill out.
3. How is IV therapy any better than ingesting vitamins?
Since the fluids, medications, and nutrients in the IV bag go right into your bloodstream, there is a 100% rate of these solutions. Orally consuming pills and supplements provide only a fraction of these essential solutions due to various factors. These factors include chronic disorders, gastrointestinal complications, inadequate nutrients, and an unhealthy diet and lifestyle, to name a few. Therefore, the absorption rate of orally ingesting is at about 50% to 60%. Although IV therapy provides you a direct route to your bloodstream and cells, remember that it supplements your health and wellness routine. Daily vitamin intake is still necessary to ensure optimal benefits.
4. Can anyone undergo IV therapy?
Nearly anyone can receive IV therapy. As long as you give your consent, our team will review your medical history and medications. However, we have patients with the following conditions who cannot receive IV therapy.
- Patients who are diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), kidney failure, renal failure, and those patients undergoing dialysis
- Patients who have abnormal vital symptoms or suffering from a medical emergency
5. What are the benefits of IV therapy?
When it comes to the benefits, going through IV therapy can help you, especially if you are facing troubles with swallowing pills and supplements orally or cannot absorb them naturally. These benefits are not limited to the following listed.
- It enhances immunity against external invaders.
- It makes nutrients readily available for cellular usage.
- It safely transports a higher dosage of vitamins without worrying if the body can tolerate it.
- It slows the emergence of symptoms of aging and improves longevity.
- It raises energy levels.
- It boosts athletic performance.
- It remedies brain fog, fatigue, hangover, headache, jetlag, and migraine.
- It eases nausea and vomiting.
- It detoxifies the body.
- It restores the body from allergies, asthma, flu, and other viral illness symptoms.
6. How long does IV therapy take to see the effects?
Complete absorption of the fluids, medication, and nutrients from an IV bag typically takes about 30-60 minutes. When the contents of the IV bag go into the bloodstream, 100% goes into it and will no longer go through the GI tract. However, the duration of absorption still varies depending on the total infusion amount and the thickness of the infusion mix.
As the treatment requires this amount of time, all you can do is sit tight and spend your time listening to music, reading books, relaxing on a couch, reclining on a chair, crocheting, sewing, and watching movies. Otherwise, it may be doing that paperwork you keep postponing. You may do a form of entertainment you enjoy while having your drip as long as it does not disturb your treatment process.
7. Is IV therapy a safe treatment?
IV therapy is a generally effective, safe, and hardly invasive method with low risks of adverse side effects. When it comes to Level Up’s treatment, all our registered nurses have proficiency in administering shots to a client. The nutrients we use in our infusions underwent high testing, review, and approval levels. All you have to do is have our licensed nurses evaluate your medical history before your appointment.
9. Do IV therapy produce any adverse side effects?
Cases of severe adverse side effects of people who went through IV therapy are either non-existent or rare. During the IV infusion, you might feel a cooling or warming sensation in your abdomen, arm, or chest. You might also taste the minerals and vitamins in your mouth or smell them from your urine.
If a side effect appears after the treatment, it is mostly mild, minor, and momentary. Patients might notice bruising, inflammation, and redness at or around the injection site. They might also feel bruising, discomfort, or itching on the same spot. Yet, these symptoms can go on for a few minutes or a few days.
10. How often does one undergo IV therapy?
Undergoing IV therapy differs on each patient’s needs and preferences. Some patients need a quick fix for athletic recovery, dehydration, fatigue, hangover, headache, jet lag, or migraine. Likewise, some patients require a weekly or bi-monthly infusion for detoxification. Some patients take a few sessions over a couple of days to tackle cold and flu. Some patients receive regular and safe long-term and overall health and wellness treatments.
Our team will discuss this matter with you. Level Up also provide Membership Bundle Options, so you can get your infusion choice at a discounted rate, a slash-off from our products, and of course, a VIP treatment that awaits you.
11. Does IV therapy hurt?
One of the things you can expect that can hurt in an IV therapy is the needle’s prick. The pain tolerance of each individual is different from another. Hence, it is basically up to your pain tolerance once the puncture commences. However, our team consists of experienced licensed nurses who can ensure the least amount of discomfort or pain during the IV placement. Remember that the benefits you receive far compensate for the pain you might feel.
