Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@hydrainfusions.net if you cannot find an answer to your question.

DOES IT HURT?

We use very small needles so you will feel virtually nothing. That being said, everyone has a different pain threshold. Some find it painless and others feel slight discomfort with the needle insertion. Most people find the IV infusion itself quite calming and relaxing. Some customers might feel some warmth as certain nutrients enter the bloodstream such as B vitamins or magnesium.

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?

Most people notice an increase in energy levels and an overall health enhancing boost. Optimum vitamin and mineral levels support proper metabolism, cortisol levels, cellular health, mood, and good sleep patterns. Vitamin therapy can also be an immune system boost which is very helpful during the winter months and during allergy season.

IS IT SAFE?

Yes, vitamin IV therapy is very safe provided it is administered by a licensed medical practitioner and overseen by a Medical Director. We use high quality vitamins, minerals and amino acids sourced from certified suppliers. Also, IV therapy has been utilized for over 50 years and was developed by Dr. John Myers (the Myer’s cocktail).

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET AN IV FOR IT TO BE EFFECTIVE?

Depending on your nutritional needs you may see dramatic effects after the first IV. People who get regular IVs will feel less dramatic effects as their body starts to obtain optimal hydration and nutritional balance. Some get an IV weekly, multiple times a week, several times a month or as needed.

WHY NOT JUST TAKE SUPPLEMENTS?

Many people do not absorb vitamins in their digestive track very well. For those dealing with digestive issues such as constipation, chron’s, celiac, IBS it can be helpful to bypass the digestive track and go directly to the bloodstream for high absorption at a cellular level.

IS THERE AN REASON I SHOULD NOT DO AN IV?

We believe IV therapy can be beneficial for a wide variety of individuals. We also inform our customers of the fact that we are not a medical treatment center and therefore we do not treat or diagnosis health issues. Hydra Infusions offers a supportive therapeutic health and wellness service. If you have a major health condition please consult with your doctor before obtaining vitamin IV therapy.

HOW DO I GET STARTED?

Feel free to read up on our IV combinations and benefits. Make an appointment online or by phone. If it is a small group we request that you schedule an appointment online or by phone.

IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD DO BEFORE ARRIVING?

For best results drink plenty of water and have a little food in your stomach before your infusion.

Is there a fee for mobile services?

Yes! All mobile services will be charged $15 for clients who are not current members under either the Drip or Drip+ membership programs. To avoid the travel charge, you are welcome to visit or office location by appointment. Same day appointments are normal.

PREPARING FOR YOUR IV TREATMENT

ATTIRE. Please wear a shirt that can roll-up above your elbow to allow access to your arm.
HYDRATE BEFORE EVERY IV. The more hydrated you are, the more easily accessible your veins are, making for a more comfortable treatment.
HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT. Some of the vitamins and minerals can have a temporary blood sugar, and blood pressure lowering effect, which can make you feel light headed during or after your IV if you haven’t eaten.
GET MOVING. If we are sedentary right before an IV, our vessels may be more difficult to access.
ALLOW YOURSELF ENOUGH TIME. Give yourself enough time to arrive so you can get comfortable and relaxed prior to your treatment. This will make your experience more enjoyable and effective.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR IV TREATMENT

The IV can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on the type of IV drip you’re receiving. Please plan to be here for a minimum of 1 hour,
During your IV, you may experience coldness, stiffness, and sensation of pressure or tingling from your fingertips, up your arm and into your chest. You may also taste or smell the vitamins; often they are described as having a metallic quality. These sensations are normal and to be expected. They will resolve immediately following your IV.
Let your IV Therapist know right away if you experience any discomfort during your treatment including burning, stinging, aching or feelings of nausea or light-headedness. We have many solutions to improve your comfort!
The most common IV complication is known as an infiltration, which occurs when IV fluid leaks into surrounding tissues. Infiltration can be caused by dislodgement of the IV needle, most often by patient movement. Although this is a non-serious complication, it is important to keep your arm still during your treatment to prevent discomfort and delay to your treatment.
Many people enjoy an immediate feeling of relaxation during their treatment. Your IV should be an experience you enjoy every time, so please let us know what we can do to make your experience the most comfortable!

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOUR IV TREATMENT

Many people experience an increase in energy, mental alertness and over all sense of wellbeing immediately following their IV treatment. These effects may be subtle or may not be noticed until the next day or days following treatment. You may require several IV treatments before you begin to experience a benefit.
Chronic stress, illness, lack of sleep and poor eating habits, can all contribute to nutrient depletion. Without adequate nutrition, metabolism inside our cells becomes sluggish, leading to a buildup of waste product inside the cell. IV therapy delivers high doses of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids directly into the blood stream that readily cross cell membranes to ‘kick-start’ cellular metabolism. It is therefore normal to experience mild fatigue, headache, nausea or light- headedness following your IV treatment. This is especially common after your first few IV treatments, as your body works to clear any stored metabolic waste products.
You may continue with your daily activities, including exercise following your IV treatment. It is important to continue to stay hydrated and eat regular meals.
Minor bruising of the IV site is common and should resolve within the week. If you experience redness, swelling or pain of your arm or at your injection site, please contact us right away.
If you have any questions or concerns following your IV treatment, please contact our office to speak with one of our IV Therapist
