IV vitamin therapy
This week we are going to take a break from the more “traditional” beauty/skincare treatments and talk a little bit about IV Vitamin therapy. So first let's quickly just talk about what IV therapy is and why it can be beneficial to add it as part of your skincare routine as well as all the other benefits it can provide!
IV Vitamin Therapy is an administration of vitamins and minerals through a person's vein. We put the vitamins and a solution very similar to our bodies own blood/plasma and infuse it over anywhere from 30 minutes to a little over an hour. So while you are getting all the perks of the vitamins you are also getting a ton of hydration that your body can instantly use. The benefit of IV vitamin therapy is that this method, like we said, provides nutrients and hydration that the body can use right now, and also that bypasses the gut. The benefit of it bypassing the gut is that there is a 100% absorption rate of all the vitamins into your system.
While taking vitamins orally is still beneficial if done on a daily basis (we love these oral supplements), IV therapy ensures that your body gets every bit and can use it correctly. If your gut is not functioning optimally or you are not properly hydrated (which most of the American population isn't), then your body isn't able to properly break down and take those vitamins where they need to go and be used. Again, it isn’t that taking them orally isn’t still beneficial for you but making sure your gut health is optimal and drinking enough water is key! Hydration can make a huge difference in the health and appearance of your skin. So, if you feel like you constantly have chapped lips and that crepey under eye, chug some H2O! Here is one of our favorite water bottles to keep you hydrated throughout the day and keep your skin looking plump!
That’s why we love our IV vitamin therapy. It’s quick and easy and usually is safe for most of our patients. We always start with doing a full assessment and medical history, taking vital signs, and making sure there is an appropriate vein to use for the procedure. Before you leave we will take another set of vital signs to make sure your body responds appropriately to the treatment and then we will send you on your way feeling refreshed and hydrated!
We also offer a variety of vitamins from B12, Vitamin C, Glutathione, and many others. What’s awesome about these is not only can they cure a hangover (holla!), but they can also literally help your skin glow and repair itself from the inside out. If you're wanting an IV to help your wellness and beauty we can create one just for you. Our inner beauty IV will include Vit C, a B-Complex, and Biotin.
Vitamin C is necessary for the formation of collagen and it is also a major antioxidant that has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce skin irritation, dark spots, and redness. It also will help to increase the moisture content in skin, repair damaged skin calls, and promote new cell growth!
Next up is the B-Complex. The B-complex includes B1,B3, B5, and B6. These vitamins help in reducing inflammation, limiting the signs of aging, and increasing cellular regeneration. It can also help to control blemishes and breakouts and rehydrate the skin.
Last up we all know and love Biotin. Biotin is also needed for the formation of collagen and keratin. It stimulates hair follicles while also improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles!
So whether you're here for a facial or another professional service, or you just need a boost of hydration, IV therapy is a great option for overall wellness and skin health! BOOK NOW!
