What to Know Before and After IV Therapy

At The WellSpa, your safety, comfort, and the effectiveness of your IV therapy are our top priorities. To help you get the most out of your treatment, we recommend a few simple steps to prepare for your session. Before your appointment, please have a thorough discussion with our provider about your medical history, current medications, allergies, and the specific wellness goals you hope to achieve with your IV therapy. This allows our experienced team to tailor your infusion to your unique needs and screen for any possible risks.
 
On the Day of Your Appointment:

• Eat a Light Meal: Unless otherwise directed by your provider, enjoy a light meal or snack before your appointment. This can help prevent lightheadedness or nausea during your treatment.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink water before your visit, as good hydration can make your IV experience more comfortable and make it easier for us to access your veins. Try to avoid caffeinated drinks, as they can be dehydrating.
• Dress Comfortably: Please wear loose, comfortable clothing with sleeves that can easily be rolled up so we can access your arm for the IV.
• Bring Your Information: If you are new to The WellSpa or have changes in your medications or supplements, bring a list or relevant records to share with your provider.
 
If you are feeling unwell, have a fever, chills, or any symptoms of infection before your appointment, please call The WellSpa to discuss rescheduling. Your well-being is our priority. For some types of IV therapy, you may feel drowsy afterward. Consider arranging a ride home if needed, and don’t hesitate to let our team know if you have any concerns.

We encourage you to arrive a few minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork and settle in. Our serene environment is designed to help you relax and enjoy your wellness experience. Following these simple steps will help ensure your IV therapy at The WellSpa is safe, comfortable, and as effective as possible. If you have any questions before your appointment, our friendly staff is here to help!

At The WellSpa, your safety and comfort are our top priorities. To ensure you have the best possible experience with your IV therapy, we recommend taking a few simple steps before your appointment:
 
• Hydrate Well: Drink plenty of water in the hours leading up to your visit, unless one of our clinicians has given you different instructions. Being well-hydrated helps make your veins more accessible for IV placement and can make the process smoother.
• Eat a Light Meal: Have a light meal or snack before coming to us. This can help prevent lightheadedness or nausea during your session, especially if you are sensitive to medical procedures.
• Dress Comfortably: Wear loose, comfortable clothing with sleeves that can easily be rolled up or removed. Most IVs are placed in the arm, so easy access is important for a quick and comfortable start to your therapy.
• Bring Your Medication List: Please prepare a list of any medications, supplements, or allergies you have, and bring it with you. This information helps our team tailor your IV therapy safely and effectively. Be sure to let us know if you have had any previous reactions to IV treatments or if you have any underlying health conditions, such as heart or kidney issues.
• Arrive on Time and Relax: We strive to make every visit to The WellSpa a relaxing and restorative experience. Arriving on time allows us to start your session promptly. Feel free to bring a book, headphones for music, or another quiet activity to help you unwind during your treatment.
• Communicate Your Needs: If you are feeling anxious or have any concerns about your IV therapy, please let our staff know. We are here to answer your questions and offer support every step of the way.

At The WellSpa, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Before your IV therapy appointment, we generally recommend that you eat a light meal or snack and drink water, unless one of our healthcare providers has given you different instructions. Having some food in your system helps stabilize your blood sugar, which can reduce the chance of feeling lightheaded, nauseous, or faint during or after your IV session. Staying hydrated also makes it easier for our experienced team to access your veins, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable treatment.
 
Please note, there may be exceptions based on your specific treatment plan. If your IV therapy is paired with a procedure that requires fasting, or if sedation or anesthesia is involved, you may be asked to avoid eating or drinking beforehand. For your safety and the best results, always follow the personalized instructions provided by our healthcare professional. If you have any questions or are unsure about how to prepare for your upcoming IV therapy at The WellSpa, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to provide you with clear guidance and support every step of the way.

At The WellSpa, your safety and comfort are our top priorities. To help ensure your IV therapy session is both effective and stress-free, please review these important guidelines before your appointment:
 
• Avoid Alcohol: Please refrain from consuming alcohol for at least 24 hours before your IV therapy session. Alcohol can dehydrate your body and may impact how you respond to the infusion.
• Medication and Supplements: Unless approved by our provider, avoid taking over-the-counter medications or supplements, especially blood thinners such as aspirin. These can increase the risk of bruising or other complications during IV insertion.
• Eat a Light Meal: We recommend having a light meal or snack before your appointment. This helps stabilize your blood sugar and lowers the risk of dizziness or fainting during your session.
• Physical Activity: Please avoid vigorous exercise immediately before your visit. Strenuous activity can affect your hydration status and may make it harder to access your veins.
• Monitor Your Health: If you are experiencing symptoms of infection (such as fever or chills) or have any open wounds near the planned IV site, please contact The WellSpa to reschedule your therapy. Your well-being is our priority.
• Personalized Guidance: Every client is unique. If you have any questions or concerns about preparing for your IV therapy, please reach out to our healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.

At The WellSpa, the duration of your IV therapy session depends on your personalized treatment plan, the type of infusion you select, and your individual wellness needs. Most of our standard IV therapy sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes. Simple hydration or vitamin infusions may be completed in as little as half an hour, while more comprehensive therapies—such as those involving specialty medications or advanced nutrient blends—can take up to 90 minutes.
 
Each session at The WellSpa includes a thorough preparation process, the infusion itself, and a brief monitoring period afterward to ensure your comfort and safety. If it’s your first time visiting us for IV therapy, please allow a little extra time so our experienced team can review your health history and answer any questions you may have.
