What Is IV Therapy?
IV Therapy, or intravenous therapy, delivers fluids and nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a small intravenous line administered by a trained nurse practitioner.
Unlike oral supplements, which must pass through the digestive system before being absorbed, IV Therapy allows nutrients to be delivered directly into circulation to be used exactly where and when they are needed. This approach can be used to support hydration, nutrient replenishment, recovery, and overall wellness.
At Derma Skin Institute, every IV Therapy treatment begins with an assessment to determine whether treatment is appropriate and which infusion may best align with your goals.
Available IV Therapy options may include:
- Longevity Support
- Energy & Vitality Infusions
- Weight Management Support
- Pre- and Post-Procedure Support
- Radiance, Skin & Appearance Support
What Can IV Therapy Support?
IV Therapy is often incorporated into personalized wellness plans designed to support:
Hydration and Overall Wellness
Proper hydration supports many essential bodily functions and contributes to overall wellbeing, including helping the skin’s ability to maintain its natural moisture balance. IV Therapy can help support hydration while delivering nutrients selected based on your individual goals.
Skin Vitality and Appearance
Certain vitamins, antioxidants, and nutrients play important roles in collagen production, oxidative stress reduction , and overall skin function. IV Therapy may be incorporated into treatment plans focused on supporting skin quality and appearance.
Recovery Support
IV Therapy is commonly used as part of pre- and post-procedure care plans to support hydration and recovery surrounding aesthetic treatments such as laser procedures, chemical peels, microneedling, and injectables.
Energy and Vitality
Energy-focused infusions are designed to support normal energy metabolism and may be selected by individuals looking to maintain demanding lifestyles, travel schedules, or periods of increased physical or mental activity.
Longevity-Focused Wellness
NAD+ is an essential coenzyme involved in cellular energy production, metabolic function, and the body’s DNA repair and maintenance processes. NAD+ infusions are often incorporated into wellness routines focused on cellular energy pathways, vitality, and healthy aging.
Weight Management Programs
IV Therapy may be used alongside medically guided weight management plans to support skin quality, hydration and nutrient balance throughout lifestyle and nutritional changes.
How Does IV Therapy Work?
IV Therapy delivers fluids and nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a small intravenous catheter placed by a trained healthcare professional.
Treatments are performed in a comfortable clinical setting and are designed to be both convenient and relaxing. Most infusions are completed within a predictable timeframe and require little to no downtime.
Every treatment is selected based on your individual goals and medical assessment. Depending on your needs, IV Therapy may be provided as a standalone service or integrated into a broader wellness, longevity, or aesthetic treatment plan.
