Life in a busy city like Dubai can negatively impact the health of your body – long work hours, travel and daily stress can leave you feeling exhausted. That’s where IV therapy in Dubai comes in. This simple and effective wellness treatment safely delivers vitamins, minerals, and fluids into your bloodstream, which gives your body a quick boost from the inside out.

Originally, IV treatments were only used in hospitals, but today they are a popular wellness choice for many people across the world to help feel better, recover quickly and even help their skin glow. From hydration and immunity to energy and overall wellness, IV therapy offers benefits that fit into today’s fast-paced lifestyle. 

At Amara Aesthetic Studio, each IV drip is created for your needs. Our highly qualified medical team will ensure each step of the treatment is safe, comfortable, tailored to your needs, so you can sit back and relax while your body gets the nutrients it needs. 

What is IV Therapy?

iv drip therapy

IV therapy, or intravenous therapy, is a treatment that delivers fluids, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into your bloodstream through a small drip. Because the nutrients go straight into your blood, your body can use them right away without waiting for digestion. 

Although many people typically take supplements by mouth, only a fraction of those nutrients gets absorbed into your bloodstream and ultimately your body. However, since intravenous (IV) therapy delivers the nutrients to your bloodstream directly, your body can absorb and make use of the full benefits of every vitamin and mineral in the drip. As a result, the IV process is a faster and more efficient means of rehydrating and improving energy levels while also providing other general wellness benefits. 

Primary Purpose of IV Therapy: 

IV therapy is primarily used to bypass the digestive tract in order to achieve fast and complete absorption. The liquid “drip” typically consists of sterile saline solution used as the carrier and a custom blend of: 

  • Vitamins (such as B-complex and Vitamin C) 
  • Minerals (such as Magnesium and Zinc) 
  • Antioxidants (such as Glutathione) 
  • Amino acids 
  • Electrolytes 

How IV Therapy Works? 

Here’s a closer look at what exactly happens during an IV therapy session: 

1. Personal Consultation 

Every appointment begins with a personal consultation. A medical professional will ask questions about your health, lifestyle, and goals. Are you coming in to recover from a flight, enhance your skin glow, or boost your immunity? This part of the appointment helps us ensure that the treatment process is safe and meets your specific health goals. 

2. Choosing the Right IV Drip 

The doctor or nurse selects a unique formula of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fluids based on your health goals. An energy drip, for instance, may include B vitamins, while a beauty drip combines vitamin C with nutrients to promote collagen. Each formula is designed to replenish your body with exactly what it is lacking. 

3. The IV Placement 

A small sterile IV line is gently inserted into your arm. This part happens very quickly and only involves very minor discomfort, similar to that of a routine blood test. Once in place, the IV is secured so you can relax comfortably during the session. 

4. Infusion Process 

The nutrient-dense solution will flow at a specific rate and go directly into your bloodstream. The sessions typically last 30 to 60 minutes. During this time, you can relax, enjoy some music, browse your phone, or simply rest. 

5. Absorption and Results 

In contrast to oral supplementation that passes through your digestive system and loses more of its effectiveness from the start, intravenous (IV) therapy allows for almost full absorption. Therefore, you receive full benefit to your tissues, and may feel results very quickly – including better hydration, more energy, and a lasting feeling of revitalisation. 

What are the Benefits of IV Therapy? 

IV therapy has moved beyond hospitals and is rapidly finding its way into different aspects of treating and improving health. Here are some of the key benefits you can enjoy: 

1. Rapid Absorption of Nutrients 

Taking a vitamin or supplement orally means it will have to pass through your digestive system, which impacts how many nutrients you truly absorb. With IV therapy, nutrients are put directly in your blood which gives you maximum benefits almost immediately. 

2. Increased Energy 

IV drips are also commonly used to combat fatigue, jet lag, or that drained feeling after a long day of work. The combination of vitamins and minerals can help you feel your energy levels return to normal in a natural way without needing caffeine or energy drinks. 

3. Better Hydration 

Dehydration will cause headaches, dry skin, fatigue and affect your mood. IV therapy infuses fluids and electrolytes into your body quickly, especially after extensive workouts, long flights, or a night of partying. 

4. Increased Immunity 

A drip with vitamin C, zinc, and other immune-supporting nutrients can boost your immune system, making it easier to fight off common sicknesses or recover faster when you’re feeling run down. 

5. Increased Recovery 

Whether it’s after exercise, an illness, or even surgery, IV therapy increases recovery time with essential nutrients and hydration delivered to your cells. 

6. Healthy Skin and Hair 

Some IV formulas are rich in antioxidants and vitamins that promote skin glow, reduce visible signs of aging, and strengthen your hair and nails. It’s a wellness boost that shows on the outside, too.
