Widely loved in Las Vegas, IV drip therapy has evolved significantly from its origins as a clinical procedure, becoming a fashionable health and beauty practice embraced by wellness enthusiasts everywhere.
From offering a welcoming atmosphere, personal consultations, and preparations for infusion, you can soon be on your way to a ‘one-hour vacation’ with IV therapy, enjoying custom mixtures that meet most unique health and beauty needs.
If you’d like bonuses such as glowing skin, hair, and nail benefits --extra biotin can be added to fusions. Special additives, like amino acids or extra B vitamins, cater to specific health goals such as enhanced athletic performance or faster recovery. IV therapy can cater to all needs, specific for each individual; even those rough hangover mornings.
Lisa Bayardo, the integrator and owner of Prime IV Hydration and Wellness in Summerlin and Centennial Hills, is dedicated to empowering individuals through holistic wellness and has witnessed growth in IV therapy over the years.
“A popular one at Prime IV Hydration is our Immunity Drip, which is packed with essential vitamins and minerals designed to boost the immune system. This cocktail includes high doses of vitamin C, zinc, glutathione, magnesium, and B vitamins,” said Lisa.
Though, throughout the years, the presentation and aesthetics of IV therapy have enhanced the overall appeal for clients. Comfort aesthetics are added to help produce a relaxing and calming atmosphere; creating a less-medical-office-vibe is key. This blend of functionality and beauty transforms environments into a high-end spa feel. Along with cleanliness and prep, using colorful IV bags, and custom ‘cocktails’ for each client's needs, such as glowing beauty goals or PMS relief. This has made IV therapy more than just medical--it’s also an engaging, ‘Instagram worthy’ treatment.
“Clients often find it fascinating to watch the fluids being infused, especially when they can visibly see how quickly their body absorbs them,” said Lisa. “This process can be particularly enlightening for those severely dehydrated, they can see the bag emptying into their bloodstream, providing immediate, visible relief.”
Clients can feel pampered and relaxed as they recline in massage chairs, accompanied by cozy blankets and eye masks to enhance the overall wellness experience.
IV therapy caters to many for various health goals and preferences. Primary reasons for visits can include anti-aging benefits, increased energy levels, and addressing acute health concerns like immunity and illness recovery. Younger clients in their 20s to 30s often seek athletic performance and recovery drips, while older clients may focus on anti-aging and energy-boosting treatments.
People may have misconceptions about IV therapy, such as believing the needle stays in the arm the entire time when, in reality, a plastic catheter replaces it immediately. The concerns about overdosing on vitamins and negative side effects are unfounded, as treatments use therapeutic doses and are professionally monitored. Unlike oral vitamins that can cause nausea, IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and ensuring better absorption.
While often associated with illness, IV therapy is popular among healthy individuals, who are seeking efficient solutions for boosting hydration, energy levels, and more.
With the growing awareness and the holistic health movement, IV therapy’s popularity is set to soar even more as people seek immediate hydration, nutrient replenishment, and overall wellness outside of clinical settings, all while adding an aesthetically pleasing element to treatments.
"Whether it’s hydration during the summer, energy to get you through the workday, or muscle recovery because you love to work out - you name it. It can help." - Lisa Bayardo
