IV Nutrition

Intravenous (IV) Nutrition Therapy

Boost your wellness with our customized IV Nutrition treatments, delivering vitamins, minerals, and hydration directly into your bloodstream. Tailored blends—like Myers’ Cocktail, Vitamin C, or beauty formulas—enhance energy, immunity, or skin radiance. Administered by licensed professionals in our tranquil Irvine medspa, this relaxing treatment combats fatigue, stress, and dehydration.

At Serene Skin and Wellness Medspa, Nutrient IV Therapy is a safe and effective way to deliver natural vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into your bloodstream. If you’re like most people, you may not consume your daily dose of essential nutrients or fully experience their benefits. Our 30- to 45-minute sessions are designed to boost your energy, enhance your mood, and help prevent health conditions caused by stress, malnutrition, or dehydration.
No major side effects are typically experienced. Some clients may notice a cooling sensation in the arm or a mineral taste in the mouth during the session. Rest assured, these are normal and temporary sensations.
At Serene Skin and Wellness Medspa, our nutrient IV drips take approximately 30-45 minutes to be fully administered, ensuring a quick and convenient experience.
Our nutrient IVs are comparable to those used in medical settings, consisting of natural vitamins, minerals, and amino acids already present in your body. These infusions provide an extra boost to support optimal organ function and overall wellness.

Our IVs at Serene Skin and Wellness Medspa are free of toxins found in medications or pharmaceuticals, making them safe for regular use in healthy individuals. While theoretically safe for daily use, most clients don’t require such frequent sessions. We recommend a bi-weekly program for most, but you can tailor your IV therapy schedule to your lifestyle and wellness goals.

Depending on your current nutritional and hydration levels, you may feel noticeable effects after your first IV session at Serene Skin and Wellness Medspa. Regular clients may experience less dramatic effects over time as their body achieves optimal hydration and nutrient balance.
Pain tolerance varies, but at Serene Skin and Wellness Medspa, we prioritize your comfort. Some clients find the needle insertion painless, while others may feel mild discomfort. We use smaller needles than those in pediatric hospitals and offer techniques to make the process as comfortable as possible. The procedure is not considered painful.
If you have fluid retention, kidney issues, or certain medical conditions, you should avoid nutrient IV therapy. We recommend consulting your primary care physician if you’re unsure about your eligibility. At Serene Skin and Wellness Medspa, anyone with a healthy medical history can safely enjoy the benefits of our IV therapy.

To ensure your safety, we advise consulting with our medical team or your physician before receiving IV therapy if you’re taking medications. Individual responses vary, and our staff at Serene Skin and Wellness Medspa is here to guide you through any concerns.

IV Therapy at Serene Skin and Wellness Medspa is a premium service that significantly enhances your body’s performance. While it’s an investment, the benefits—such as improved immunity and reduced need for costly doctor visits or medications—make it worthwhile. Our clients find that preventative care like IV therapy supports long-term health and wellness.

After your IV session at Serene Skin and Wellness Medspa, you can resume your normal activities without restrictions. We recommend maintaining a healthy lifestyle by exercising, meditating, eating nutrient-rich meals, staying hydrated, and getting adequate rest to maximize the therapy’s benefits.

Not quite. While all IV drips at Serene Skin and Wellness Medspa are administered with the same professional care, each infusion is uniquely formulated with specific quantities of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to target goals like skin brightening, muscle recovery, or mental clarity.

To ensure the best experience and results from your IV therapy session at Serene Skin and Wellness Medspa, please follow these pre-care guidelines:

  1.  Hydrate in Advance Drink plenty of water (at least 8-10 glasses) in the 24 hours leading up to your appointment. Proper hydration helps your veins be more accessible for the IV insertion and supports optimal nutrient absorption.
  2. Eat a Light, Balanced Meal Have a light meal or snack containing protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates 1-2 hours before your session. This helps stabilize your blood sugar levels and prevents lightheadedness during the procedure. Avoid heavy or greasy meals that may cause discomfort. 
  3. Inform Us of Your Medical History Before your session, disclose any medications, supplements, or health conditions to our medical team. This includes allergies, kidney issues, or fluid retention concerns. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, consult your primary care physician prior to your appointment. 
  4. Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine Refrain from consuming alcohol or excessive caffeine at least 12 hours before your IV therapy. These substances can dehydrate you and may affect how your body responds to the treatment. 
  5. Wear Comfortable Clothing Wear loose, comfortable clothing with sleeves that can be easily rolled up to access your arm for the IV insertion. This ensures a smooth and comfortable process. 
  6. Arrive Relaxed and On Time Plan to arrive a few minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork and relax before your session. A calm state of mind can make the IV insertion process more comfortable.

Aftercare is an essential part of your IV therapy experience at Serene Skin and Wellness Medspa. Proper post-care enhances nutrient absorption, prolongs the benefits of your treatment, and ensures a smooth recovery. Follow these do’s and don’ts to optimize your results.

Why Post-Care Matters

Aftercare is critical to maximizing the benefits of your IV therapy. By following these guidelines, you support your body’s ability to absorb and utilize the nutrients, maintain hydration, and reduce the risk of adverse reactions, ensuring a positive and lasting experience.

  1. Stay Hydrated Continue drinking water to maintain the hydration boost from your IV therapy. Aim for 8-10 glasses of water throughout the day to support nutrient circulation and absorption.
  2. Eat a Balanced Diet Complement your IV therapy with nutrient-rich foods like leafy greens, lean proteins, and fruits. A balanced diet enhances the effects of your treatment, supporting longterm wellness.
  3. Rest and Relax Allow your body time to process the nutrients by engaging in light activities like yoga or meditation. Resting after your session at Serene Skin and Wellness Medspa helps your body recover and maximizes the therapy’s effectiveness. 
  4. Follow Our Medical Team’s Instructions Adhere to any personalized guidelines provided by our staff. Track how you feel after your session and share this information during future visits to tailor your treatments to your unique needs.
  1.  Avoid Strenuous Activities Refrain from heavy exercise or intense physical activity immediately after your session. Overexertion can hinder nutrient absorption and leave you feeling fatigued. Opt for gentle activities like walking instead. 
  2. Do Not Consume Alcohol Immediately Alcohol dehydrates the body and can interfere with the benefits of your IV therapy. Wait at least 24 hours before drinking alcohol to ensure your body fully absorbs the nutrients and fluids. 
  3. Don’t Ignore Unusual Symptoms While IV therapy is generally safe, monitor for symptoms like dizziness, prolonged fatigue, or swelling at the IV site. Contact our team at Serene Skin and Wellness Medspa immediately if you experience these, as prompt attention can prevent complications. 
  4. Do Not Self-Administer IV Treatments IV therapy should only be performed by our qualified professionals. Attempting to self-administer or modify your treatment plan without guidance can pose serious risks. 
  5. Don’t Rely Solely on IV Therapy IV therapy is a powerful wellness tool but should complement a holistic health routine. Pair it with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep for sustainable health benefits.
