FAQs &
Guidelines
What are your qualifications?
We are owned and operated by four wonderful medical professionals (MD, ACNP, DNP, and an RN) with over 80 combined years of experience in a wide variety of healthcare settings. All services are performed by registered nurses. We take your safety and comfort very seriously, so our nursing staff are highly trained and have excellent IV skills.
Why should I get an IV when I take oral vitamins?
Great question! Once an oral vitamin passes through your digestive tract and is broken down, you are only receiving about 20-30% of the dose you took. Vitamin injections and IVs bypass your digestive system completely, allowing for 99-100% absorption and maximum benefits.
Where do the injections go?
We strongly recommend getting intramuscular injections in your glute, which can be accessed easily by pulling the waistband of your pants down slightly. This is a bigger muscle, which means it typically hurts less than an injection in the arm. You have the final say on whether it goes in your glute or arm. Injections are performed in a private room for your comfort.
Where does the IV go?
The most common and comfortable place for the IV to be inserted is the inside of your elbow, which is always the first place the nurse will check. The hand is also used from time to time for those who have deep or rolling veins.
What is the difference between a regular infusion and a quickie infusion?
Regular infusions include 1,000 mL of sodium chloride or Ringer’s Lactate, whereas quickie infusions include 500 mL of sodium chloride. Even though you’re getting less hydration, you are still getting the same dose of supplements regardless of the size of the bag.
How long do these services take?
Injections can take up to 15 minutes, depending on how many you’re getting; regular infusions take about an hour, and quickie infusions take about thirty minutes.
Do I need a referral from my doctor or lab work to receive services?
Nope! We carry water-soluble supplements, meaning the risk of having an excess amount of something you receive via IV or injection is very small. Because of this, we do not need to know what your current labs look like to provide treatment. The only exception is vitamin D, which is a fat-soluble vitamin that your body can store for up to three months.
How old do you have to be to receive services?
We can treat anyone 13 and older! Anyone under 18 years old will need a parent or guardian's permission.
Are these services safe for pregnant women?
Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding a newborn can receive any B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12) and their desired amount of fluid. These services have been deemed safe by our medical director.
How frequently can I get these services?
These services can be done as frequently as weekly. The necessity for weekly visits varies based on how quickly your body metabolizes the supplement and what your goals are. Most of our clients find that monthly infusions are a great way to give themselves a good boost, and weekly to bimonthly injections are a great way to sustain the benefits of a supplement.
Do you do special events or private parties?
Yes! Our lounges are the perfect place to host a special event, but we can also come to you! IV therapy is a wonderful thing to do leading up to a big event, such as work conferences, weddings, hunting trips, bachelor/bachelorette parties, etc. We would be honored to help you plan an event for you and your posse.
What are signs that I should get an infusion?
There are many textbook symptoms of dehydration/vitamin deficiency, such as:
Fatigue
Dark colored urine
Muscle weakness
Excessive thirst
Headache
Constipation
Dry skin
Do the nurses accept tips?
Yes! Gratuity is never expected, but always appreciated if you feel compelled to tip your nurse for a job well done.
What to Expect
The receptionist will verify the service(s) you're getting and give you a tablet to complete the
New Client Paperwork. If you are unsure which service you would like, that’s okay! Once you
finish your paperwork, you can meet with a nurse for a free consultation. You can make an
account on our client portal and fill out your paperwork ahead of time by clicking here.
The receptionist will take your vitals with a pulse oximeter and a blood pressure cuff. Your nurse
will review your medical history while your vitals are being taken.
After you meet with your nurse to verify your services or for a consultation, you can choose a
complimentary beverage, grab a magazine, or even an eye mask, and get comfortable.
Infusions can be given on our comfy chaise lounges or cozy couches. Injections will be given in a
private room, as they sometimes require more skin exposure than just your arm (glute, thigh, or
stomach).
Your nurse will squeeze the muscle as they give the injection to minimize pain from the poke.
We use much smaller needles than they use for blood donation/lab work. Injections are quick
and easy, which makes them very convenient for those on the go!
For an infusion, a tourniquet will be placed on your arm, allowing the nurse to see your veins
easily. It's best to wear a short-sleeved shirt or a shirt that allows you to comfortably roll up your
sleeves.
Once the nurse finds a good vein, they will insert the IV. This process is very quick, and the pain
of the initial poke will dissipate in seconds. The needle only goes in your arm for a second to
insert the thin IV tubing. The IV tubing is flexible, so you can bend your arm, but this will slow
the flow of fluids.
Once the nurse connects the tubing to your infusion, it will start flowing immediately. Some
people may notice a funny taste in their mouth from the vitamins. Most people describe the
taste as being similar to a Flintstones vitamin. We have complimentary candies and flavored
drinks to combat it if you find it unpleasant.
Once you are set up with your infusion, you can use this time however you'd like! Read, draw,
nap, chat, work, etc. Your nurse will be keeping an eye on your infusion and you, to make sure it
is flowing properly and to be there if you need anything. If you need an extra blanket, another
drink, a magazine, or anything else, just ask.
Once your infusion has finished, the nurse will remove the tubing and give you gauze to apply
pressure to the site. Typically, the bleeding stops after a minute or two.
That’s it! Don’t forget to grab a loyalty punch card on your way out, and congratulations on making
your health is a priority.
Notice of Risks
& Benefits
IV hydration therapy is done with a peripheral intravenous catheter that is inserted via a needle into a vein in your body, which delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals, nutritional compounds, and/or medications directly into your body.
Injection therapy is when a vitamin, mineral, nutritional compound, and/or medication is injected directly into the subcutaneous fat or muscle of your body.
Treatment with IV therapy and/or injectable vitamins, nutritional compounds, minerals, and/or medications
offered at IV Hydralounge is completely voluntary.
We do not check or require lab work for treatment. It should be known that there is a small risk of creating an excess of vitamins in your system if you do not pace your treatment properly. The proper treatment frequency varies based on age, medical history, activity level, and more. A good rule of thumb is that injections are better received weekly, and infusions are better received monthly.
Alternative therapy options for the symptoms you are seeking IV therapy and/or injection therapy for include, but aren’t limited to, treatment by your primary care provider and/or specialty provider, oral supplementation, and dietary/lifestyle modification.
IV therapy provided at IV Hydralounge doesn’t require a physician’s note to receive; however, we do recommend notifying your medical and/or mental health provider about your decision to undergo IV therapy or intramuscular injection therapy.
IV infusions and injection therapy at IV Hydralounge are not intended to diagnose or treat a specific medical condition. IV infusions and injection therapy will not prevent or cure medical conditions or diseases. IV infusions and injection therapy are a voluntary service meant to assist with certain symptoms or ailments you may be experiencing.
Please inform our medical staff of all medications and supplements you take and any allergies you have.
Serious adverse reactions could happen if you do not disclose any allergies you have, as well as any
medications and supplements that you are currently taking.
Understanding the risks and benefits of IV and injection therapies is very important. It should also be
understood that consistency is key with these treatments, and often, you do not feel the benefits right away. Benefits are never guaranteed. If you are not deficient in certain vitamins, your body will naturally eliminate them.
Common risks involved with IV and injection therapies include, but are not limited to, irritation, pain, discomfort, bruising, and bleeding at the site of the IV insertion or injection.
Less common risks involved with IV and injection therapies include, but are not limited to, infection at the site of the IV insertion or injection, injury to the tissue, phlebitis, low blood pressure, fainting, and fluid volume overload, medication interactions, high vitamin levels, and drops in blood sugar levels.
Very rare risks involved with IV and injection therapies include, but are not limited to, sepsis, severe allergic
reactions, severe medication/supplement reactions, anaphylaxis, blood clots, shock, cardiac arrest, and death.
The benefits of IV and injection therapies include, but are not limited to, enhanced absorption of vitamins and minerals as they bypass the digestive tract, increased total body hydration, alleviation of unwanted symptoms, increased total body nutrient density, improved mental clarity, and improved athletic performance and recovery.
Unforeseeable complications can arise when an IV is placed and medications, fluids, minerals, and vitamins are infused into the body. You have the right to refuse any treatments or treatment recommendations at any time.
