The first visit will include the initial assessment and brief paperwork. This usually takes under 1 hour. Subsequent visits are typically under 40 minutes. Vitamin shots only take about 15 minutes.
You should avoid IV infusion if: you are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18 years of age, in generally poor health, undergoing chemotherapy, have a history of heart disease, uncontrolled hypertension or have had an organ transplant.
Our staff of highly trained nurses or paramedics with many years of experience will perform the IV infusions.
While bruising at the site of the IV is uncommon, it can happen in those who are prone to bruising easily. We take every precaution possible to minimize any bruising. We also instruct our patients to not bend their arm immediately after an IV infusion.
For maximum benefits, we recommend an initial “loading” phase of 4 once-a-week IV infusions. This phase is followed by “maintenance” IV infusions once or twice a month.
