Our IV Drip Menu, Decoded: Which Drip Actually Fits Your Week

Current Skin & Self prices come from the live Square booking menu. Compare the available options there, then confirm the right service and total with your provider.

What an IV drip actually does (and doesn't)

An IV drip delivers fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and amino acids straight into your bloodstream, bypassing the gut. That means near-total absorption and a faster effect than swallowing the same nutrients, because nothing gets lost to digestion. What it genuinely helps with is short-term: rehydration after travel or heat, a hard workout block, a rough night, or a demanding stretch where you ran on coffee and not much else. It tops up the things your body actually uses and does it quickly.

What it does not do is fix a chronic problem. A drip is a Tuesday-afternoon reset, not a treatment for ongoing fatigue, recurring headaches, or anything that has lasted weeks. If that is you, the honest move is your physician first, a drip second (if at all). We will say that to your face at the front desk, because selling you a bag of saline for a problem that needs a diagnosis is not a service we are willing to run.

It also helps to be realistic about the feeling. A good IV leaves you hydrated and clear-headed; it does not turn a bad week into a good one or replace a night of sleep. Manage that expectation and you will be happy with what it does deliver.

Hydration IV: the straightforward starting point

If you are new to IVs, this is where you start. Our Hydration IV is a straightforward bag of fluids and electrolytes: the reset most people are actually looking for when they think "I could use a drip." You feel it fastest, it is the lowest commitment, and it tells you honestly whether IV therapy does anything noticeable for your body before you spend more on a specialty blend.

See the live Square booking menu for current prices and available packages. Your provider confirms the appropriate option and total before treatment.

Specialty IV blends: what guides the choice

See the live Square booking menu for current prices and available packages. Your provider confirms the appropriate option and total before treatment.

• Energy: hydration plus B-complex and B12. For a genuinely depleted stretch, not a substitute for sleep. If you are tired every single day, that is a physician conversation, not a drip. This is the blend people ask for most and misunderstand most.
• Immunity: higher-dose vitamin C and zinc-oriented support. Best used proactively before travel or a busy season, not as a cure once you are already sick. If you already have a fever, rest and call your doctor; a drip will not shorten a virus.
• Recovery: amino acids and electrolytes for athletic or post-event bounce-back, or a heavy weekend. Genuinely useful if you train hard or just pushed your body further than usual.
• Current price: see the live Square booking menu for this service and its available packages.

Our real advice: pick the specialty blend by the single outcome you want this week, not by trying to buy all four benefits at once. If you cannot name the one goal, book the Hydration IV instead and keep your money. A blend you chose for a clear reason beats a blend you chose because it sounded the most complete.

NAD+: who it may fit

See the live Square booking menu for current prices and available packages. Your provider confirms the appropriate option and total before treatment.

Who books it: people specifically interested in cellular energy and longevity-oriented protocols who already know what NAD+ is and have decided it is worth the time and cost. It is not a first drip and it is not for someone who just wants to feel less hungover. If you are curious but unsure, start with a Hydration IV, see how your body responds to IV therapy at all, and we will talk through whether NAD+ makes sense on a future visit. Exact NAD+ pricing and dosing are confirmed at your consultation, since both depend on how your body tolerates the infusion.

Goal to drip: the quick decoder

Your goal this week	Book this	From	Time to plan for
Rehydrate after travel, heat, or a rough night	Hydration IV	Live Square menu	Short, in-and-out
Targeted energy, immunity, recovery, or beauty	Specialty blend	Live Square menu	Short, in-and-out
Trial "beauty" nutrients cheaply first	Wellness injection	Live Square menu	A few minutes
Cellular energy / longevity protocol	NAD+	Live Square menu	Plan on a couple of hours

Exact session lengths are confirmed when you book, since they depend on the blend and your veins. What is fixed is the shape: everything except NAD+ is a quick sit you can do on a lunch break, and NAD+ is a genuine time commitment you should schedule around.

When an IV is not the answer

This is the section most drip menus leave out, and it is the one we care about most. An IV is the wrong tool if:

• Your symptoms are chronic. Persistent fatigue, recurring headaches, ongoing digestive trouble, or feeling unwell for weeks are signals to see your physician, not to buy a drip. A bag of fluids can temporarily mask a signal your doctor needs to see clearly.
• You are hoping to fix a nutrient deficiency you have not confirmed. Guessing which vitamins you are low on is expensive guessing. Bloodwork first, then a targeted plan built on what you are actually missing.
• You have kidney, heart, or fluid-balance conditions. The fluid volume in an IV is not trivial for everyone. Tell us your history, and if there is any question, we defer to your physician rather than proceed.
• You want it to replace sleep, food, or hydration habits. It cannot, and a good clinic will tell you so instead of selling you a weekly membership to paper over the basics.

Being told "you do not need this" is part of the service. We would rather keep you as an honest client for years than sell you a drip you did not need once. That is the whole reputation, and we protect it at the front desk.
