What is IV Vitamin Infusion Therapy?
Intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy like the ones being offered at the aesthetics & wellness services in Pineville, NC is a way to give high concentrations of vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream, allowing rapid absorption of higher doses of the vitamins and minerals than if you were to get them through food or consumption.
What Should I expect at my appointment?
When you first walk through our door, you’ll be greeted by one of our patient care coordinators, and you will receive paperwork to fill out before your appointment begins. Lindsay, our amazing nurse injector, will then walk you back to our cute and cozy IV room for your treatment. Your vitals will be taken, and Lindsay will run through how the treatment works and answer any questions or concerns you have. Once you’re relaxing in the recliner with your vitamin IV drip, you’ll be able to relax for an hour and can choose to use the iPad located in the room, scroll on your phone, read a book, or simply relax and enjoy some you time. Once the IV infusion is done, Lindsay will explain any aftercare with you and make sure you’re feeling amazing!
