IV Therapy at CLP Med Spa: Frequently Asked Questions
Between Miami's heat, busy schedules, travel and workouts, it's no surprise that IV therapy has become a popular wellness option. Below, our team answers the questions we hear most often about IV therapy at CLP Med Spa in Kendall, Miami.
Q: What is IV therapy?
A: IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals and fluids directly into the bloodstream through a small IV, under medical supervision. At CLP Med Spa, our standard IV Boost may include B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium and amino acids, and we also offer specialty blends. IV therapy is not a treatment or cure for any disease and is not a substitute for care from your physician.
Q: Why do people choose IV therapy instead of oral supplements?
A: Oral supplements must pass through the digestive system, where absorption can be limited and inconsistent. IV delivery bypasses digestion, so the nutrients enter your bloodstream directly. Clients commonly come to us for rehydration, replenishing vitamin and mineral levels, recovery after travel or intense exercise, and general wellness support.
Q: Is IV therapy safe, and who is a good candidate?
A: Every client is evaluated by a licensed provider before treatment, because whether IV therapy is right for you depends on your health history and current medications. Some infusions, such as high-dose vitamin C or iron, require a medical consultation first. Tell your provider about any medical conditions, allergies or medications, and don't skip care from your own physician.
Q: Will it hurt?
A: Most clients feel only a small pinch or a sense of pressure. Your IV is placed by trained medical staff, and the skin is numbed with topical lidocaine beforehand. During the infusion you may notice a warm sensation in your upper body or a brief taste of vitamins.
Q: How long does an IV session take, and how should I prepare?
A: Plan on roughly 15 to 30 minutes in a comfortable spa chair. Eat a light meal beforehand, drink plenty of water, wear a top with sleeves that roll up easily, and bring a list of your medications and supplements. Water is provided during your visit.
Q: How often can I get IV therapy, and what about aftercare?
A: A standard IV Boost can be administered weekly, and your provider will recommend a schedule based on your goals and health history. Afterward, keep drinking water. Mild bruising or tenderness at the IV site can occur and usually resolves on its own; let us know if you have any concerns.
Q: What does IV therapy cost in Miami?
A: Pricing depends on the type of infusion and whether you choose a single session or a package. We offer a range of IV Boost options and multi-session packages, so the best way to get an accurate number is to book a free consultation.
