Find the answers to the most common questions related to IV therapy, safety, benefits, and the expectations during your IV treatment at Shantique Medspa in Torrance, CA.
General IV Therapy Questions
What is IV therapy, and how does it work?
IV therapy is the administration of vitamins, minerals, and fluids into your blood system using a small tube that goes into your vein. This technique avoids the digestive system and enables nutrients to be absorbed by the body 100 percent, as opposed to 20-30 percent with oral supplements.
Is IV therapy safe?
IV therapy is very safe when used by qualified medical professionals and administered by sterile techniques and pharmaceutical-grade ingredients. In Shantique Medspa, the treatment is under the control of licensed medical professionals who have stringent safety measures.
Who can receive IV therapy?
IV therapy may be safely administered to most healthy adults. Other medical conditions might, however, need special consideration. To make sure that you are safe, we perform a comprehensive medical check-up before treatment.
How long does an IV therapy session take?
IV therapy is performed between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the kind of treatment and your unique requirements. Consultation, IV insertion, and delivery of treatment, as well as monitoring after treatment, are factored into the time.
Does IV insertion hurt?
IV insertion is typically characterized by most individuals as a fast, pinch-like drawing of blood. Our skilled medical staff apply the smallest possible size of needles and soft procedures to make the process as painless as possible.
Treatment-Specific Questions
What's the difference between the different IV treatments?
Every IV is designed with particular health objectives. Hydration IVs are more aimed at replacing fluids, nutritional IVs include specific nutrients, and beauty IVs include antioxidants and skin-promoting substances. We will prescribe treatments depending on your needs, as suggested by our medical team.
How often should I get IV therapy?
The frequency of treatment varies by your health objectives and personal requirements. General wellness care usually involves a treatment every month, and more frequent sessions can be beneficial at the start of treatment with certain conditions. Our medical staff will create an individual program.
Can I get multiple IV treatments in one session?
In most cases, we suggest a single IV treatment session so that your body can absorb the nutrients. But our medical team will be able to recommend how often various treatments should occur, depending on your particular needs.
What should I expect to feel during treatment?
The majority of the patients feel relaxed and comfortable with IV therapy. Others might feel cold in the arm where the IV will be injected, or taste metallic flavors of some of the vitamins. Such feelings are healthy and short-lived.
Safety and Medical Questions
Are there any side effects?
IV therapy has only a few side effects when given the right way. The side effects that could occur are temporary aching at the injection site, metallic taste, or coolness or warmth. Serious side effects are extremely rare.
Who should not get IV therapy?
Individuals with some medical conditions, such as advanced kidney disease, congestive heart failure, and some types of enzyme deficiencies, may not be candidates for IV therapy. Before treatment, pregnant or breastfeeding women need to consult with their healthcare provider.
Do you test for allergies before treatment?
Before each treatment, we perform a holistic medical consultation and inquire about known allergies. In case you are worried about particular ingredients, we may conduct allergy tests or change formulations.
What happens if I react to treatment?
Our medical professionals are trained to recognize and manage any adverse reactions. We maintain emergency protocols and equipment on-site, though serious reactions are extremely rare with properly administered IV therapy.
Preparation and Aftercare Questions

Have a light meal before you attend and be well hydrated. Wear loose clothing that has sleeves that can be easily brought up. Carry entertainment such as a book or tablet, it takes 30-60 minutes in treatments.
Can I drive after IV therapy?
Yes, IV therapy does not hurt your driving skills. Actually, it is true that most individuals are more awake and revitalized after the treatment. Nonetheless, in the event that you experience some weird action, you can wait until these symptoms settle, then drive.
What should I do after my IV therapy session?
Maintain good water intake by drinking water during the day. Consume healthy food products to aid your body in utilising the vitamins and minerals you obtain. The best effect is achieved by avoiding alcohol for the next 24 hours.
When will I feel the effects of IV therapy?
Most individuals report immediate results, such as more energy and hydration in minutes or hours of treatment. Other advantages, such as enhanced immunity or skin state, may be realized after several days to weeks under regular treatments.
Practical Questions

The cost of IV therapy is different as it varies between $149 and $299 per session, depending on treatment. We also provide package offers as well as membership schemes that save huge expenses on frequent treatments.
