What are the benefits of IV hydration?

Intravenous (IV) hydration uses a thin needle and medical tubing to create a pathway between a supply of saline infused with nutrients and your circulatory system. Used in medical settings, IV therapy allows your health professional to administer medications directly into your bloodstream while also restoring optimal hydration. 

In wellness applications, this same system allows practitioners to deliver a powerful boost of micronutrients into your bloodstream. Each IV hydration session is designed to meet your current needs. Some of the areas of focus might include:

• Immune system boost
• Fatigue fighter
• Hangover relief
• Post-workout recovery
• Headache relief
• Anti-aging
• Overall wellness

Most Americans move through each day in a state of mild-to-moderate dehydration. IV hydration helps restore normal hydration levels. Once you feel the results, you’ll be motivated to improve your hydration each and every day.  

What happens during IV hydration sessions?

Once you’re comfortably seated in the treatment chair, your practitioner places the treatment needle into a vein on your hand or wrist. You might feel a slight pinch as the needle enters your skin, but there is no significant discomfort. 

Thin medical tubing connects the needle to a sterile bag of your customized IV hydration solution. This solution enters your bloodstream slowly, one drip at a time. You can relax, listen to music, or read during visits, which take less than an hour. 

Many people report feeling immediate improvement, sometimes even before their session is complete. This is likely due to the immediate hydration boost created during treatments.  

Is IV hydration safe?

In the hands of a trained medical professional, IV hydration therapy is a safe process. The team at PLSTK goes through extensive and ongoing training to maintain the highest safety standards.  The equipment used in IV hydration therapy is sterile and designed for single-use applications. 

As with any wellness treatment, it’s important to share the full details of any medications or supplements you take. This reduces the risk of negative interactions and helps you make the most of your IV hydration treatment experience.
