Have you noticed IV Hydration services popping up in your town? I decided to see what all the fuss was about and visited my local Prime IV hydration location. I have to admit I was a little nervous and didn’t know what to expect. If you’re intrigued by this, but maybe feeling a little apprehensive, let me put your mind at ease. The whole experience was fantastic, and the hydration wasn’t even the best part. I left feeling great and so glad that I gave it a try. Would I go back? YES. Absolutely. What should you know about receiving Hydration Therapy?
What Services are Offered with IV Hydration?
The location in my town provided many options to choose from including a hangover relief therapy! Where was this when I was young? There were differences from location to location regarding services provided, so be sure to check your location before you go. I decided on Energy Boost, a B-12-infused IV hydration drip that claims to help with energy levels. Another choice was The Glow, said to give skin a healthy glow as well as reduce wrinkles and blemishes. The Skinny Drip, which touts the benefits of increased fat burning and boosted energy, and Immunity Armor, boasting a pick-me-up for your immune system.
There were other options to choose from and you can also add additional supplements to your drip such as B-12, vitamin C, Glutathione, and magnesium. Some locations offer cryotherapy services, oxygen treatments, vitamin injections, and massage chairs too.
What to Expect When You Arrive
A clean facility and welcoming staff. This is something you should, dare I say, require from this type of establishment. The overall feel reminded me a little of showing up to a doctor’s appointment. I provided my name and appointment time, filled out some quick paperwork, and walked back to the treatment area.
In the back, the staff were friendly and gentle, which is a genuine comfort to someone more than a little squeamish about needles. An IV needle is bigger than what is typically used for drawing blood, so with awareness of that, after the initial pinch, there was zero pain. The needle is then removed, and a small flexible tube remains for the treatment.
Once hooked up to the drip, I was brought to a row of massage chairs in a quiet and dimly lit room. The massage chair offered several options and even massaged my feet and arms. I’d go back just for the chair if I could! I was given oxygen during my treatment as well, which was such a welcomed addition in this high-altitude location.
Benefits, Risks, and More
By receiving iv hydration and nutrients via the bloodstream, you naturally absorb more of them than through the gut alone. The vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes provided in the IV pack are more readily absorbed this way, optimizing their benefits to your body.
Hydration is essential and your entire system performs better when well-hydrated. Coupled with electrolytes, unlike drinking plain water, you are replenishing what is lost through sweat. Electrolytes are minerals that provide an electric charge, which then directs water to the most essential cells in the body.
IV Hydration can alleviate headaches. If you struggle to drink enough water throughout the day, you may experience headaches due to dehydration.
Some IV hydration services will come to you. What a perk that is! Imagine being down and out with the flu or a hangover and a phlebotomist arrives at your door ready to help you feel better, right in the comfort of your own home.
Virtually risk-free. There is some risk of bruising, swelling, and damage to a blood vessel, but risks are relatively low with IV Treatment. Remember to be completely honest while filling out your questionnaire, as some supplements are not advised for people with certain medical conditions.
Overall, IV hydration is beneficial to most people and perhaps even more so to those who suffer from malabsorption issues or gastrointestinal disorders.
