Personal Consultation

Before each hydration treatment, patients are asked to attend a personal consultation at our Baltimore office. Our specialist will meet with them to discuss each detail of the procedure before collecting more information about their medical history, concerns, and ideal treatment goals. From there, the specialist will be able to craft a personalized treatment plan. They will recommend the best IV infusion for each patient’s concerns, as well as recommend a treatment series schedule for those managing recurrent or chronic symptoms. An all-inclusive cost will also be presented to each patient with time for questions regarding financing. Most patients are able to start their hydration treatment directly after this meeting.

To schedule your personal consultation at our Baltimore office, please call (410) 465-3600 or contact us online, and a member of our team will be in touch shortly.

Procedure

At the beginning of their procedure, each patient will be guided to a suite by their specialist or another member of our team. Once they are comfortable, the specialist will insert a catheter into their vein before connecting their IV bag of choice. The formula will then drip into the bloodstream, directly delivering essential vitamins and nutrients to the bloodstream. Each solution contains a mix of highly beneficial ingredients, such as antioxidants or amino acids, to help patients manage and alleviate their symptoms. The treatment is short, often being completed in less than an hour.

Recovery and Results

Shortly after their appointment, patients will be able to feel the effects of their IV hydration treatment, most notably an improvement in hydration and energy. As this procedure has no downtime or associated recovery, patients will be able to return to their daily schedules, but are recommended to avoid alcohol or caffeine. Those receiving this treatment to alleviate chronic symptoms or other medical conditions are recommended to rest after their procedure.

Patients may experience some soreness at the site of the IV, but this typically subsides quickly. Some patients report a warm, flushed feeling or a cooling sensation as the fluid enters the bloodstream and rebalances their body’s hydration levels.

The full effects of each patient’s IV hydration treatment can be witnessed about 24-48 hours after their initial appointment. Each patient’s experience may slightly vary, depending on the type of infusion they receive and whether they are managing chronic conditions or simply undergoing IV hydration for wellness benefits. Generally speaking, patients can expect to see an improvement in their hydration and energy levels soon after treatment. Many individuals also experience healthier and clearer-looking skin (2), as well as enhanced mental clarity. The results of each IV hydration treatment can last for a few days. Some patients may benefit from a series of treatments spread out over time. Some of our patients come in weekly.

Corresponding Procedures

There are many treatments we offer that can be combined with an IV hydration treatment for more comprehensive results and benefits, including our HydraFacial. Our HydraFacial is a three-step resurfacing treatment that can be used to reduce visible acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles, as well as even out unbalanced or dry skin. The surface of each patient’s skin is first cleansed, removing any dead cells or excess sebum. A handpiece is then used to gently extract debris that may be clogging the pores before our medical esthetician applies the serum.
