Best IV Therapy in Pasadena at Parfaire

In the world of modern medicine, patients are seeking ways to enhance their physical appearance and boost their overall well-being. At Parfaire Medical Aesthetics, IV therapy is one of our most popular med spa treatments.

What is IV Therapy?

While IV therapy has been a standard medical procedure for years, it has gained attention over the past few years for its role in promoting wellness, enhancing aesthetics and addressing a variety of health concerns.
In a medical spa setting, IV therapy—sometimes called IV vitamin therapy—uses a small needle to deliver a mixture of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other essential nutrients tailored to the patient’s specific needs and goals. These infusions can address a wide range of health and beauty concerns, from improving skin health and boosting energy to stress and anxiety support.
While some providers administer IV therapy in the home, our patients enjoy their treatments in our upscale med spa in Pasadena, CA.

Who Can Get IV Therapy?

Most people are able to receive intravenous vitamin therapy, as long as they are over 100 lbs. It may be beneficial for patients with vitamin deficiencies, dehydration, anxiety or fatigue.

Those with heart conditions or kidney disease should not undergo IV therapy as their organs may not be able to process a large influx of vitamins safely. Critically ill patients are also ineligible to receive TV therapy. If you are taking any prescription medication, you should notify your provider to avoid drug interactions.

What Fluids and Vitamins are in an IV Bag?

Each IV treatment features a different combination of nutrients in saline solution. Here are the most common inclusions:

  • Vitamin B complex: plays a role in metabolism support, blood sugar control and energy production.
  • Vitamin B12: supports energy, weight management and digestive health. Many vegans and vegetarians are lacking in this supplement.
  • Vitamin C: supports a healthy immune system and collagen production.
  • Zinc: provides additional immune system support, helps wounds heal faster and aids your metabolism.
  • Magnesium: may help alleviate anxiety and depression while increasing bone health.

Popular IV Vitamin Therapy Options

IV therapy is catered to each patient’s needs, but here are some of our most popular options:

Hydration Therapy

Almost anyone can benefit from IV hydration therapy, but it is ideal for those seeking quick recovery from dehydration, hangovers or fatigue. IV hydration therapy helps restore electrolyte balance, replenish lost fluids and promotes overall well-being.

Beauty and Anti-Aging IV Therapy

Beauty-focused IV infusions are formulated to promote healthy, radiant skin and reduce the signs of aging. These therapies typically include a combination of vitamins, antioxidants and collagen-boosting nutrients.

Energy and Performance

IV therapy is a great solution for those seeking an energy boost. These infusions are designed to give you a mental and physical edge with B vitamins, amino acids and other energy-boosting compounds.

Immune Support

Boosting the immune system and warding off illness are top priorities for many people. IV therapy can provide high doses of vitamin C, zinc and other immune-boosting nutrients that support immune health. This fortifies the body’s natural defenses and helps you stay healthy and active.

Weight Management

IV therapy for weight management includes infusions that support metabolic functions and fat burning. These treatments can complement your weight loss journey by providing essential nutrients that aid in the process.

What to Look for in an IV Therapy Provider

Not all IV therapy providers are created equally, especially since it has exploded in popularity. Here are the two key things to make sure your provider has before receiving treatment.

Training and Certification

Ensure that your provider is properly trained and certified in IV therapy administration. Many states require specific certifications or licensure for healthcare professionals to perform IV therapy. Parfaire Medical Aesthetics is doctor-owned and operated, and our providers maintain all necessary certifications required by the state of California.

Compliance and Safety

In addition to maintaining certifications, it’s crucial that all equipment and supplies are sterile and properly stored. Shortcuts in this area may lead to infection. Don’t be afraid to ask your provider about their serialization procedures to ensure they are observing proper protocol.

How IV Therapy Works at Parfaire Medical Aesthetics

When you visit our med spa for IV treatments, we’ll start by discussing your medical history and concerns you’d like to address. Then, one of our nurses will determine the best treatment options for you.

From there, the nurse will set up the IV bag and intravenous line. Once the IV drip starts, you can expect it to last for 30 minutes to an hour. When your treatment is complete, the nurse will remove the line and you’ll be free to go about your day.
