Today, I am here to tell you all about various intravenous (IV) therapy treatments that I have personally developed after years of in-depth research and experimentation. IV therapy is a type of wellness treatment that helps people achieve their goals through optimal vitality of the mind and body.
In this article, I will take you through some IV therapies that are targeted for hair, skin brightness, anti-aging, and stamina. Let’s jump into it.
What is IV therapy?
IV therapy is a type of wellness therapy that delivers fluids directly into the blood through the veins. Traditionally, it has been used in hospitals for curing ailments and tackling dehydration. The first IV vitamin drips that were developed, were administered by Dr. John Myers in the 1970s. Since then, this course of treatment has come a long way and today is used by millions of individuals for aesthetic and cosmetic purposes. It is an effective and safe way to refresh, recover, and recharge quicker.
What are the advantages of IV therapy?
IV drip or IV therapy has various advantages, like:
- Increasing energy and metabolism
- Helping the body to break down fat naturally and burn calories faster
- Replenishing nutrients and vitamins required by the body to function optimally
- Reducing hair fall
- Giving an overall glow to the body and face via powerful antioxidants
- Helping in 100% absorption of the nutrients by bypassing the digestive system
- Improving the quality of sleep and calming the mind
IV therapy has been used across the globe by many A-list celebrities from Ricky Martin to Rita Ora. As per Harvard Health Publishing, this therapy can also be taken for jet lag or food poisoning.
What are the types of IV therapies?
At The Bombay Skin Clinic, I have specially designed and personally formulated four types of IV therapies, each having its own purpose and benefits. Let’s take a look at them in detail:
Power Boost IV Therapy
This IV therapy recharges your body’s energy and metabolism to help you perform tasks at your optimum level and focus better. The concoction used is a powerful blend of nutrients, antioxidants, and amino acids that help to super-charge your system and boost its ability to burn fat faster. My patients, after undergoing this treatment, have reported feeling an almost superhuman energy in their bodies, helping them to be more active and focused.
The various benefits of this treatment are that it:
- Hydrates the body
- Restores the body’s natural balance
- Builds the immune system
- Boosts metabolism
- Increases energy levels and reduces fatigue
- Assists in building lean muscle and gives the brain a boost
Some of the key ingredients of this IV therapy are amino acids like carnitine and taurine; methylcobalamin; nicotinamide vitamin B3; and magnesium. All of these work together to support the transfer of fat to energy, increase energy production in the body, and set your body’s internal clock/circadian rhythm. As per the International Journal of Scientific and Research Publication, carnitine truly helps in converting fatty acids to muscle for energy production.
Glowing Elixir Iv Therapy
As the name suggests, this IV therapy helps to increase skin brightness, giving you a heavenly glow. My patients, after undergoing this wellness therapy, report having lighter and brighter skin. Its key benefits are:
- Prevents oxidative cell damage by reducing the free radical formation
- Improves overall skin quality
- Enhances skin elasticity
- Lightens skin color and brightens the complexion
- Boosts immune function
Some of the key ingredients I use in this IV therapy include vitamin B variants like B1, B5, and B6; Vitamin C; and glutathione. With many more amino acids and vital vitamins, this concoction works with enzymes that make collagen and prevent oxidative stress to protect the skin from sun damage, repair and grow skin cells, and improve skin quality.
Hair Loss IV Therapy
Truly, my patients have reported having Rapunzel-like hair after taking this IV drip. It supercharges your hair with amino acids and essential nutrients to give you renewed locks that you can flaunt. Its various advantages are:
- Reduces frizz and dryness
- Improves collagen formation and hydrates the skin
- Promotes new hair cells
- Increases cell production for healthy skin, hair, and nails
- Improves hair follicle health
- Reduces the risk of scalp inflammation
The salient ingredients of this IV drip therapy are calcium, proline, lysine, methylcobalamin, zinc, potassium, and glutathione. All of these work harmoniously to improve the quality of hair and nails; prevent sodium buildup in the scalp and reduce hair fall; accelerate follicle recovery and strengthen the hair shaft; help the body regulate cell turnover; and shape the hair well.
Anti-aging IV Glutathione Therapy
As the name suggests, you can take years off your skin with this IV therapy. My patients report seeing brighter, rejuvenated, soft, and younger-looking skin after undergoing this wellness therapy. Its main advantages are:
- Improves skin elasticity, hydration, quality, tightness, and firmness
- Slows down the process of aging
- Reduces free radical formation and prevents oxidative cell damage
- Stimulates collagen production
- Lightens the skin and brightens the complexion
- Boosts immune function
The salient ingredients of this IV drip are glutamine, vitamin B1, vitamin A, vitamin C, and IV glutathione. As noted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, glutathione can be an effective brightening agent. All of these chemicals work together to slow down the aging process, regulate the acid-base balance and make the skin firmer, fight inflammation and reduce free radicals, and brighten the skin by improving the nail and hair quality.
