IV Drips

How should I prepare for my infusion?

  • Hydrate: Drink 16–24 oz of water before your appointment to make your veins more accessible and help the infusion flow smoothly.
  • Eat a Meal: Have a light, protein-rich meal (like eggs or oatmeal) 1–2 hours beforehand to prevent nausea or lightheadedness during the drip.
  • Avoid Caffeine: Skip coffee or energy drinks before your session to prevent jitters or heart palpitations.
  • Time Commitment: Most vitamin drips take 45–60 minutes, but NAD+ infusions require 2 to 4 hours due to the specialized nature of the coenzyme.

IV Drips Aftercare

  • Monitor the Site: It is normal to have a small bruise or slight redness at the injection site; this should resolve within a day or two.
  • Stay Hydrated: Continue to drink water throughout the day to help your kidneys process and distribute the vitamins effectively.
  • Listen to Your Body: While most feel an immediate "boost," some—especially after NAD+—may feel temporary fatigue as the body begins cellular repair work.
  • Avoid Intense Heat: Try to avoid extremely hot showers or strenuous exercise for 2-4 hours after an IV to let your circulation stabilize.

Vitamin Shots

Is there anything I need to do before a shot?

  • No special prep: Unlike IVs, vitamin shots (B12, Vitamin D, Slim Shot, etc.) are quick and do not require prior fasting or heavy hydration.
  • Mistletoe Therapy: If you are receiving mistletoe injection therapy, please ensure you have completed your initial consultation as these protocols are highly customized.

  • Listen to Your Body: While most feel an immediate "boost," some—especially after NAD+—may feel temporary fatigue as the body begins cellular repair work.

PRP Therapies

How do I get the best results from my PRP session?

  • Hydration is Key: Since we are using your own blood, being well-hydrated ensures we can easily collect high-quality plasma.
  • Avoid Anti-Inflammatories: If possible, avoid NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen or Aspirin) for 48 hours before your session, as these can interfere with the natural inflammatory process we are trying to trigger for healing.
  • Clean Skin/Scalp: Come with a clean face (no makeup) or clean hair (no products) depending on your treatment area.

PRP Therapy Aftercare (Skin & Hair)

  • Hands Off: Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying makeup to the treated area for at least 6 to 12 hours to prevent infection.
  • Skip the Gym: Avoid heavy exercise, saunas, and swimming for 48 hours, as sweating can irritate the micro-channels in the skin.
  • Sun Protection: Your skin will be sensitive; stay out of direct sunlight and wear a high-SPF mineral sunscreen starting the morning after treatment.
  • Patience is Key: Remember that PRP is a biological process; while you may see a "glow" quickly, the real results from collagen production peak at 3 to 6 months.

Infrared Sauna & Red Light Therapy

How should I prepare for my Infrared Sauna or Red Light Therapy Session?

  • Dress in Layers: For the sauna, most clients wear swimwear or light, loose-fitting clothes. We provide towels, but you may want a change of clothes for afterward.
  • Hydrate Before & After: You will sweat significantly in the infrared sauna; drinking water before and after is essential to maintain energy levels.
  • Skin Prep: For Red Light Therapy, ensure the target area is free of heavy lotions or sunscreens so the light wavelengths can penetrate the skin effectively.

Infrared Sauna & Red Light Aftercare

  • Replenish Electrolytes: Since you have lost minerals through sweat, drink an electrolyte-rich beverage to rebalance your system.
  • Cool Down Gradually: Don’t jump into a freezing cold shower immediately; let your body temperature normalize for 10-15 minutes first.
  • Moisturize: Infrared heat can be drying; apply a clean, toxin-free moisturizer to your skin to lock in hydration.

Compression Therapy Boots

What can I expect during my session?

  • Clothing: Wear comfortable, athletic clothing or leggings. The boots go over your clothes.
  • Duration: Sessions typically last 15 to 45 minutes.
  • Safety Check: If you have a history of DVT (blood clots), congestive heart failure, or acute infections, please consult your doctor before booking.

Compression Therapy Aftercare

  • Keep Moving: To maximize the lymphatic drainage triggered by the boots, take a light walk later in the day to keep your circulation active.
  • Hydrate to Flush: Now that the boots have "pushed" waste products like lactic acid into your system, drink plenty of water to help your body flush them out.
  • Check Your Energy: You may notice your legs feel significantly lighter or "bubbly"—this is a sign of increased blood flow and is perfectly normal.
