IV Nutrient Therapy (Coming Soon)

IV nutrient therapy is a treatment where fluids and selected nutrients are delivered directly into a vein.

Depending on the treatment being provided, an infusion may contain a combination of fluids, vitamins, minerals or other nutrients.

Before any treatment takes place, we’ll talk to you about your health, assess your suitability and explain exactly what is being offered.

Your appointment is designed to be straightforward and comfortable.

Consultation
We’ll discuss your health, medical history, medications and what has brought you to us.

Assessment
We’ll make sure the treatment is suitable for you and answer any questions you have.

Treatment
If you choose to go ahead, a small cannula will be inserted into a vein and your IV infusion will be administered.

Aftercare

Aftercare and support from our team

What’s in an IV nutrient infusion?

This depends on the treatment you are having. Different infusions can contain different combinations of fluids and nutrients. We’ll explain exactly what is being proposed before you decide whether to proceed.

Does IV therapy hurt?

You may feel a brief scratch or discomfort when the cannula is inserted, similar to having a blood test. Once it is in place, you can sit back and relax while your infusion is administered.

How long does an appointment take?

This varies depending on the treatment. We’ll let you know how much time to allow when you make your booking.

Is IV nutrient therapy suitable for everyone?

No. Your health, medical history and medications can affect whether treatment is appropriate for you. That’s why we carry out an assessment first.

Do I need a blood test?

This will depend on the treatment and your individual circumstances. We’ll let you know if any tests are needed.

Are there any side effects?

As with any intravenous treatment, there are potential risks and side effects. Your healthcare professional will explain those relevant to your treatment before you decide whether to proceed.

Can I have IV therapy if I take medication?

Possibly. It’s important to tell us about any prescription medication, over-the-counter medicines and supplements you take so these can be considered during your assessment.

How will I feel afterwards?

Everyone’s experience is different. Your healthcare professional will explain what you can reasonably expect from the particular treatment you are considering.

Your first step is simply a conversation.
