What is IV therapy?

IV therapy is an outpatient procedure that administers vitamins, minerals, and peptides through a needle and into a vein. This process bypasses your digestive system, allowing the cells in your body to obtain more of the nutrients. 

IV therapy eliminates toxins from your body, repairs damaged cells, and provides the required nutrients to live an active and healthy lifestyle.

What type of IV therapy might benefit me?

Before recommending IV therapy, Stephanie reviews your medical records and asks about your goals. They also ask about your lifestyle, including how often you exercise, if you travel frequently, and if you have any underlying medical conditions.

After gathering the necessary information, your provider can recommend an IV treatment that aligns with your needs.

How often should I undergo IV therapy?

The frequency at which you should undergo IV therapy depends on various factors, including your age and health. Usually, Stephanie recommends scheduling visits every other week or once a month. After an in-office consultation, your provider can develop a custom schedule.
