IV Hydration Q&A
What are some signs that IV hydration might be helpful?
Dehydration is a medical condition that occurs when you lose more fluids than you take in. The volume of fluid within your body changes throughout each day: When you sweat, cry, bleed, digest food, or use the bathroom, fluids are leaving your body. The most common method of replenishing those fluids is through drinking water and other fluids.
Understanding the signs of dehydration can help you recognize the condition and know when to take action to restore optimal hydration levels. Some of the indications that you are dehydrated include:
- Headache
- Chills or heat intolerance
- Muscle cramps
- Swollen feet
- Constipation
- Dark colored urine
- High heart rate and low blood pressure
- Dry mouth
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
Once these symptoms develop, dehydration has reached a serious level. Ideally, proper hydration levels are always maintained, and the above mentioned changes don’t occur.
What happens during IV hydration sessions?
IV hydration is a simple process. There is no need for preparation and no downtime needed afterward. Even people who are uncomfortable with needles find the experience of IV hydration to be painless.
When you arrive, a practitioner uses a needle to place a piece of thin medical tubing into a vein on your hand or wrist. Positioning the needle and securing the apparatus with a small piece of tape takes just seconds.
The other end of the tubing connects to a bag that contains a saline solution. The solution enters your blood one drip at a time, slowly suffusing your system with a powerful hydration boost.
Your entire visit takes less than an hour. You can use this time to read, listen to music, scroll on your phone, or just relax and recharge. There are no restrictions on your activities following the visit.
How long does it take to see results from IV hydration?
Many people report immediate cessation of dehydration symptoms following IV hydration sessions. Some even report feeling an energy boost and enhanced mental clarity even before their session is complete.
This is likely due to the immediate reversal of dehydration. By delivering fluids directly into your bloodstream, your cells and tissues can make use of those fluids right away.
