If you are new to IV therapy, it is normal to have questions. Below are the most common questions we hear, answered clearly and directly so you know exactly what to expect.

Before treatment, every client is screened through telehealth. During the infusion, sterile, medical-grade supplies are used, and you are monitored throughout the process to ensure comfort and safety.
You may feel a brief pinch when the IV is placed. After insertion, most clients report little to no discomfort during the infusion.
Risks are uncommon but may include:
Mild bruising or soreness at the IV site
Lightheadedness, especially if feeling nervous
Rare vein irritation or infiltration
Our nurses monitor you throughout the infusion and are trained to manage these situations if they occur.
Some IV therapies may be appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, while others are not recommended. This is determined during the included telehealth evaluation.
Always inform your nurse and medical provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding so the safest option can be selected.
Frequency depends on your individual needs and the type of IV therapy received. Some clients schedule weekly or bi-weekly visits, while others receive IV therapy as needed.
Your medical provider will guide you on appropriate frequency based on your goals and health profile.
Our nurses are experienced in working with small or challenging veins. Techniques such as warming, vein-finding tools, and alternative placement options are commonly used.
If an IV cannot be placed comfortably, other options may be discussed to ensure your experience remains safe and positive.
IV therapy is designed to be straightforward, efficient, and medically guided. From the included telehealth evaluation to professional monitoring during your infusion, the process prioritizes safety, comfort, and effectiveness.
