Frequently Asked Questions
All treatments are administered by AHPRA registered nurses.
Intravenous therapy or IV therapy is when a small tube called a cannula is put into your vein. Through this tube, we can administer compounds directly into your blood stream. This ensures that the highest amount of absorption takes place, as opposed to oral supplementation which can have absorption rates as low as 20%.
We administer different micronutrients, macronutrients, co-enzymes and antioxidants via this route.
Great question! Our nurses are experienced and will take all possible steps to ensure you are feeling comfortable throughout your appointment. We may begin the appointment by applying some numbing cream to areas that we might place the cannula. When our nurses are inserting the cannula, there may be a very small quick sting as the needle goes in but it is over very quickly. The numbing cream also helps to reduce this a lot.
Once this is over, the rest of the appointment should be comfortable and you can relax for the duration. We will check in with you plenty of times as well.
At the beginning of the appointment, we will start by completing a health assessment to ensure clinical suitability for our treatments.We will then go on to discuss your health and goals, and we will come up with a plan for you for this treatment +/- any ongoing support.
You will complete two forms - a consent form and a scripting document for our doctor.
Once these are completed, our nurses can get started with the treatment. We ensure you are in a comfy position and insert the cannula and connect the IV line to it and begin the infusion.
General IV infusions take less than 1 hour. Your clinician will let you know how long an appointment may take at the time of booking confirmation.
You finish enjoying your treatment and we will remove the cannula from your arm and pop on a small bandaid.
You are able to continue on with your day. We will give you personalised aftercare advice, and will be available for ongoing support via phone and email.
Yes! IV therapy is safe when it is administered by registered health professionals with substantial training.
All compounds used should be medical grade and compounded by pharmacies here in Australia. A thorough health assessment should be taken to ensure safety and clinical suitability. Please ensure you share any underlying medical conditions with our team during the consultation.
Mild side effects such as a small bruise where the cannula was can sometimes occur, but serious adverse reactions are very rare.
IV therapy is used for many different reasons. We see a continuum of clients, from those who manage chronic health conditions, to clients who are wanting to optimise their health for longevity and performance.
Some clients see us pre or post events, whereas some clients see us regularly to keep on top of their health and wellness. It is really individual and we can chat more about this in a consultation.
We are located in Melbourne, Australia. Currently, we come to you for appointments. This is so that you can enjoy the comfort of your own space while the treatments are happening.
