As health and wellness content flourishes throughout the various avenues of social media, certain tips and unique services have been brought to light. Today we will be discussing the wonders of IV Therapy, as well as what to expect when arriving at your appointment.
The length of an IV therapy session varies widely based on a number of factors, which we’ll talk about. It can be as short as 15 minutes, or as long as 90 minutes. The average time sits in the middle of these to extremes, and you can expect your session to last about 30 to 45 minutes.
Let’s get into the details!
What is IV therapy?
IV therapy is the process of hydrating and replenishing the body intravenously. A healthcare professional concocts a mixture of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients to supplement overall bodily health, targeting the specific concerns of each client.
Are there different types of IV therapies?
Yes! One of the many reasons IV therapy treatments are so beneficial is that they can be custom selected based on the type of service your body needs. One well-known type of IV therapy is focused on quick, efficient hydration for the body. It’s often used to cure hangovers and help athletes recover quickly.
Vitamin-focused IV therapy boosts immune system health and encourages overall wellbeing. Mineral IV therapy can address hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia, reduce inflammation, and more depending on the type of minerals that are concentrated in your therapy. They’re just as customizable as your typical skincare treatment!
How does IV therapy work?
Instead of topically applied products or ingesting supplements in liquid or pill form, IV therapy treatments manage to bypass the digestive system altogether. This type of service offers a more direct way to deliver vital nutrients and amino acids directly into the body through immediate introduction to the bloodstream.
What affects the duration of an IV therapy session?
While each type of IV drip infusion service is administered the same way, different services can vary in length of time needed to properly administer the treatment. Below are some factors that could influence the amount of time it takes for your infusion time to be appropriately completed.
The dosage of your IV therapy
The distribution of vitamins and minerals into the body can vary greatly from simple hydration therapy. The amount of liquids needing to be administered for each service is different, and that affects the amount of time needed to effectively introduce and absorb nutrients into the bloodstream.
Your personal health and size affects the duration
A client’s weight, as well as the strength of blood circulation affects the duration of an IV therapy treatment.
Age is a common factor for IV therapy duration
Lastly, age is a common influence when accounting for infusion time. Younger clients may have stronger circulation than older clients. Additionally, those who are further along in age may not have strong vein walls, creating more problems with the administration process. As the age of a client increases, the likelihood for other bodily ailments or health issues also increases. Those dealing with health conditions may find the service goes slower than a completely healthy individual.
Why IV therapy is worth the wait
Taking 30 minutes to an hour out of your day to sit under an IV line may seem inconvenient to those with bustling schedules, but we think that the results are worth the wait! Here’s our top three reasons why sitting for an IV treatment may be worth the time out of your day:
The variety of nutrients you can receive
It’s easy to miss important nutrients through your diet, especially for those with busy schedules, sensitive digestive system, or limited diet criteria. The inability to properly absorb important nutrients can impact a person’s health and wellbeing substantially – even without blatant outward indicators.
IV therapy alleviates a range of conditions
Due to the versatile nature of the service, a number of health concerns can be addressed or alleviated by undergoing an IV treatment. Instead of treating these concerns individually, clients can choose to address multiple conditions at one location instead of purchasing an arrangement of medications and supplements that may not be as effective.
IV therapy is an elite hydration treatment
For some it can be difficult to intake the appropriate amount of liquid to stay adequately hydrated. Headaches, fatigue, and skin concerns can all be alleviated with the help of some intravenous fluids helping to hydrate and replenish your system.
