IV Therapy

Approximately 75% of American adults are chronically dehydrated. Dehydration combined with lack of sleep and stress can leave your skin dull and energy levels low. Fortunately, the team at Creekside Wellness offers innovative IV therapy to adults at their location in Cypress, Texas. If you’re looking for a boost of vitamins and antioxidants that help your skin glow and improve your overall energy, schedule an IV therapy appointment online or call the practice today. 

What is IV therapy? 

Intravenous (IV) hydration therapy consists of a customized concoction of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and electrolytes.

Your provider uses infusion technology and inserts a catheter into a vein in your arm that delivers this liquid drip directly to your bloodstream. 

IV therapy is more effective than food, creams, or oral supplements. Because of the infusion, your body absorbs 100% of the nutrient-jam-packed solution, and your cells experience an immediate benefit. 

IV therapy can improve chronic or acute dehydration, cleanse your body of toxins, improve your energy levels, and invigorate your natural complexion. 

What can IV therapy treat? 

IV therapy can treat either temporary needs or combat chronic health problems. You may benefit from IV therapy if you’d like to: 

• Hydrate 
• Freshen your skin 
• Improve energy 
• Support nail and hair growth 
• Stimulate collagen production 
• Improve your metabolism 
• Improve antioxidant levels 
• Aid in weight loss 

IV therapy cleanses your body of toxins and free radicals that lead to rapid aging and cell damage.  

Before proceeding with IV therapy, let your provider know if you have heart disease or kidney problems that affect your body’s salt and fluid intake. Although IV therapy is safe for most, you should be sure to avoid excessive levels of minerals or vitamins. 

What’s in an IV therapy drip? 

Creekside Wellness offers micronutrient testing to measure your white blood cells’ current levels of vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, and amino acids. Your provider can then determine what drip ingredients best suit your needs. 

Ingredients may include: 

• Antioxidants like glutathione
• Vitamin C and D
• B-complex vitamins 
• Pyridoxine (vitamin B6)
• Alpha-lipoic acid
• Biotin 
• Zinc 
• Copper
• Normal saline 

You can expect the benefits of IV therapy to last around one week. 

What happens during an IV therapy appointment? 

Your provider performs the IV infusion at the Creekside Wellness office, and during the procedure, they place a small catheter into a vein in your arm. You then begin to absorb the IV solution into your bloodstream. 

Depending on your needs, the appointment takes 20-60 minutes. Your provider is with you throughout the procedure and monitors your progress. Afterward, you can expect immediate results. You may have slight irritation at the injection site, but side effects are rare.
