A high concentration of vitamins and minerals is given directly into the bloodstream during intravenous vitamin therapy (also known as intravenous micronutrient therapy and hydration therapy), facilitating rapid absorption of these nutrients rather than getting them through food or supplements.
 
IV drip therapy bypasses the digestive system to deliver nutrients, vitamins, and medications to the body. Taking supplements directly into the bloodstream immediately provides nutrients.
 
As supplements are metabolized by the digestive system, fewer vitamins, nutrients, and medications enter the bloodstream, increasing the effectiveness of treatment. Maximizing absorption and minimizing waste are the goals of IV drips. A variety of body systems can benefit from IV drips because vitamins and medications are directly delivered to cells.

Apart from improving immunity, IV drip therapy also reduces anxiety and mitigates different types of pain. Because IV drip therapy is administered directly into the veins, maximum benefits are received sooner than with oral supplements. IV drip therapy absorbs vitamins and minerals at a rate of 80%, which is significantly higher than ingesting, which absorbs at 50%. There are many benefits associated with IV drip therapy, including weight loss, increased energy, enhanced immunity, age management, chronic fatigue, reversing malnutrition symptoms, detoxification of the body, reducing arterial plaque, and treating Parkinson’s disease. If you have not responded to or are unable to ingest oral supplements, IV vitamin therapy can correct vitamin imbalances and provide an alternative source of vitamins.

Clinicians and consumers often interchange the terms infusion therapy and intravenous therapy (IV). There are, however, differences between infusion therapy and intravenous therapy. The only difference between an infusion and an IV drip is that you don’t have to stay in a hospital for a couple of days. IV clinics and medical spas offer infusions, and you can walk right out afterward. Infusions can be scheduled at any IV clinic.

With infusion therapy, fluids or medications are infused into the body through an infusion device, such as a needle or catheter. There are several ways to administer infusion therapy, including epidural infusions (into spinal cord membranes), arterial infusions (into arteries), intraosseous infusions (into the bone marrow), subcutaneous infusions (under the skin), intraperitoneal infusions (into the peritoneal cavity), intrathecal infusions (into the intrathecal space), and intravenous (into the vein).

During intravenous infusion therapy, fluids and medications are administered through a peripherally or centrally located venous access device (VAD). It is an invasive procedure that requires specialized training and skills to insert vascular access devices. Using and maintaining the device as well as preventing, recognizing, and managing complications are also requisite skills for clinicians involved in any type of infusion therapy.

Individuals can choose from a variety of IV therapies based on their preferences and desired outcomes. There are several factors that affect how often they have IV therapy. Hangover recovery, jet lag recovery, fat burning, and other restorative issues can be treated with IV drip therapies. Depending on the patient’s needs and desired outcomes, IV drip therapy may be administered more frequently or less frequently.
 
Elite Derma offers individualized care based on the goals and needs of every patient. IV drip therapy is typically administered once or twice a week and at least every two weeks to patients. At certain milestones or goals, patients’ treatment frequency may change according to their desired outcomes. There is a difference in the appropriate rate at which IV therapy should be administered to each patient. Each patient’s individual needs will be determined by Elite Derma staff.
