It’s common to have questions about your first IV drip therapy session. Knowing what to expect can help you feel more comfortable and prepared.
ThrIVe Drip Spa wants to put both your body and mind at ease. We’ll guide you through the process of IV infusion therapy from start to finish so that, when you arrive, you’re able to simply sit back, relax, and enjoy all the great benefits of your drip.
Before You Arrive
At ThrIVe, we are all about convenience. You can book your appointment online or by phone. When it’s time for your session, plan to dress comfortably for your visit. We recommend wearing loose layers so that your sleeves can be rolled up easily, allowing the treatment to be administered smoothly.
Prior to arriving, eat a light meal, and drink lots of water. Staying well-hydrated helps prevent fatigue and assists your nurse in finding your vein more readily.
Check-in
Plan to arrive around 10 to 15 minutes early for your first appointment. This should give you adequate time to find the location and avoid feeling rushed once you arrive.
As you walk through the front door, you’ll be welcomed by our friendly and knowledgeable staff. Head to the desk to check in for your appointment. You can then relax in our lounge area, designed for relaxation and optimal comfort.
Consultation
When it’s time for your appointment, a staff member will guide you into one of our private rooms to conduct a Good Faith Exam. The purpose of this exam is not only to clear you for treatment, but also to get to know more about you and your health and wellness goals.
During your exam, our experienced team will review your medical history and check your vitals to ensure you are a suitable candidate for IV infusion therapy. There is a $35 fee for the exam, or $45 if bloodwork or lab review is included, and you will receive the full amount as an account credit toward your next visit. Following your first appointment, the exam will only need to be completed annually or as your medical needs change.
After reviewing your health history and wellness goals, you can select and customize any of our 12 signature IV drips, which are formulated to treat a range of issues – from dehydration and fatigue to stress, inflammation, or a weakened immune system. Some drips are also able to boost metabolism, increase energy levels, and reverse premature signs of aging.
Customization
Once your consultation is complete, we’ll work on personalizing your treatment plan. Everyone’s health and nutritional needs are unique, so we’ll tailor your IV drip with additional boosters to address specific concerns, such as headache or fatigue, ensuring you get targeted benefits for your individual needs. Finally, your chart is carefully reviewed before being passed along to our registered nursing staff, who will administer your IV drip.
Administration
Following your consultation, you’ll relax in our calming, spa-like setting while your customized IV drip therapy is administered. To give you peace of mind and ensure a relaxing experience, our registered nurse can administer a numbing medication, lidocaine, for the treatment. They will then begin to administer your IV drip.
You can expect your IV drip therapy session to last about 40 minutes. However, you should allow a little more time for your first appointment. The full session, from start to finish, typically lasts about 45 to 60 minutes.
During your IV drip therapy treatment, a warm blanket will be placed on your lap so you can lie back and relax. Choose to curl up with your latest read, listen to music, watch TV, or take a quick power nap as you soak up your customized IV drip benefits.
If you have any questions, we’ll guide you through the process step by step. Your health and safety are our priority, and our team goes the extra mile to make you feel as comfortable as possible.
After-Care
After your appointment, our team will go over our membership and package options with you. Don’t worry – we never pressure our clients to purchase any products or services they don’t need. We’re simply on hand to answer your questions and provide you with recommendations to help you achieve your desired health outcomes.
If you decide to rebook with us, expect your next drip appointment to go more quickly than your first. You can even squeeze us in on your lunch break!
You may return to normal activities after treatment, though you should plan to avoid heavy lifting. Remember to stay hydrated, eat nutritious meals, and monitor the injection site following your appointment. Most of our clients start to feel immediate benefits from their IV drips. However, if you notice any pain or swelling, give us a call.
We aim to make your experience a pleasant one and would love for you to share your thoughts with us by leaving a review. In the meantime, you can check out our current reviews to get an idea of what else to expect on your first visit from other clients.
If you haven’t scheduled your first session yet, contact your preferred location or create an online account. Whether you want to lose weight, hydrate, or regain your youthful glow, we’re confident we have just the drip for you.
Our goal is to have you feeling relaxed the moment you walk through our door and to put a little pep in your step by the time you walk out – feeling relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated from the inside out!
