IV Therapy at LA ViE MD

IV therapy is a safe procedure when performed by a licensed medical professional, like any one of LA ViE MD IV’s registered nurses. However, like with all medical procedures, some risks are possible. These risks can be substantially minimized by working with a reputable provider and carefully following all instructions. 

At LA ViE MD, we only use the vitamins and medicines that your body requires and that will provide you with the best outcome – no frills or unnecessary treatment. We put our patients’ well-being and safety above all else!

IV therapy can help with various conditions, including vitamin deficiencies, dehydration, chronic fatigue, and migraines. It is also popular among athletes and those seeking improved overall wellness.

Vitamin infusions benefit the body by delivering essential fluids and nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This provides rapid absorption, increased hydration, and improved nutrient absorption. They also boost the immune system, fight fatigue, reduce stress, improve athletic performance, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and provide quick relief from hangover symptoms and faster results compared to oral supplements.

While there are various IV drips to support your immune system, we recommend our Hydration Immunity IV drip, which contains high-dose vitamin C, zinc, and antioxidants to strengthen your immune system.

Vitamin C is a crucial micronutrient for immune defense. A powerful antioxidant, it combats inflammation, stimulates white blood cells, fights viral infections, and aids tissue healing.

The effects of a vitamin infusion can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on your body’s needs and the type of infusion. Many patients feel the benefits for weeks and opt for regular treatments to maintain optimal health.

IV therapy is generally safe and effective. However, like all medical treatments, some people may experience side effects. These may include:

• Infection
• Allergic reactions
• Bleeding from the site of insertion
• Vein irritation
• Electrolyte imbalances
• Skin necrosis, or premature death of skin cells
• Swelling in the area

It is important to mention that those with certain medical conditions, such as heart or kidney disease, may need to avoid or modify drip therapy. Therefore, before starting any IV line treatment, consulting with a healthcare professional is essential.

At LA ViE MD, we ensure safety by thoroughly screening the process and closely monitoring you throughout the treatment to ensure your safety and comfort.

While IV vitamin therapy works and is highly effective, it does have a few drawbacks. As we mentioned, some people might experience bruising or bleeding at the injection site, and because the intravenous line requires breaking the skin, infection is a possibility. This is why vetting any clinic where you plan to get IV treatment is crucial. 

When looking for a place to get vitamin IV therapy, ensure the clinic you select is well-certified, well-staffed, has top-notch sterile facilities and does everything appropriately. Additionally, most IV vitamin therapy treatments are costly and may not be covered by your health insurance.

That said, with LA ViE MD as your chosen provider, you do not have to worry about these drawbacks. Your safety and comfort are your primary concerns.

IV hydration therapy is an excellent choice for those looking for a fast, efficient, and effective way to rehydrate and rejuvenate. However, while it can offer quick relief from severe dehydration and other ailments, it’s not a cure-all. 

If you’re considering IV hydration for general wellness, consult a healthcare professional to determine whether it’s the proper treatment for your body. Also, note that while intravenous therapy is beneficial, it should be used responsibly and as part of a broader health and wellness plan.
