What it is

IV therapy delivers fluids, electrolytes and vitamins directly into your bloodstream, so your body absorbs them quickly and fully. Blends are tailored to your goal — hydration, immune support, recovery, energy or a beauty-focused mix. Prefer something quicker? A B12 or vitamin shot offers a fast metabolism and energy boost in minutes. A licensed medical provider sets everything up in the comfort of your home.

What to expect

  1. 1A licensed provider reviews your goals and health history.
  2. 2A comfortable drip, usually 30–60 minutes — relax, read or scroll.
  3. 3Shots are a quick few-minute option.
  4. 4Most people feel refreshed the same day.

The benefits

  • Fast hydration and nutrient absorption
  • Blends for energy, immunity, recovery or glow
  • Done in your home, office or hotel
  • B12 shots for a quick energy lift

  • Low energy or dehydration

  • Immune and wellness support

Risks & side effects

Every medical treatment carries risk. Here's what to know before you book — and what to ask your provider about.

  • Bruising, vein irritation or infection at the IV site
  • IV vitamin drips are not FDA-approved to treat or cure any condition, and most wellness claims are not supported by strong clinical evidence
  • People with kidney or heart conditions can be harmed by large fluid or electrolyte loads — this is exactly why a clinician must assess you first
  • In Arizona, an IV drip legally requires a good faith exam and a written order from an NP, PA or physician — even for plain hydration
