IV Drip Therapy
Nutrients Delivered Directly Where You Need Them
Intravenous drip therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system entirely. This means that nutrients are absorbed at significantly higher concentrations than would be achievable through oral supplementation alone.
IV therapy is used for a range of purposes, from boosting energy and immune function to supporting skin health and aiding recovery. At Dr Ayanda Tsotetsi Medical Aesthetics, all drip formulations are administered under medical supervision, and a consultation takes place prior to any treatment to ensure the appropriate formulation is selected for your health needs and goals.
What IV Drip Formulations Are Available?
- Iron Infusion: For patients with diagnosed iron deficiency anaemia or low iron stores, an intravenous iron infusion is a medically effective way to replenish iron levels quickly. Symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and poor concentration can improve significantly following treatment. This formulation requires a prior medical assessment and relevant blood work.
- Rehydration Drip: A saline or electrolyte-based infusion that rapidly restores fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. Beneficial for recovery from illness, intense physical exertion, travel fatigue, or general dehydration. Results are typically felt within a short time after treatment.
- Anti-Ageing Drip: A formulation containing antioxidants such as glutathione, vitamin C, and supporting nutrients that work together to combat oxidative stress, support skin brightness, and promote cellular health. Regular treatments can contribute to improved skin tone, radiance, and overall vitality.
- Detox Drip: Designed to support the body's natural detoxification pathways, this drip typically contains high-dose vitamin C, glutathione, and liver-supportive nutrients. It is commonly sought after periods of illness, high stress, or exposure to environmental toxins.
- Immune Boost Drip: A high-dose vitamin C and zinc infusion that supports the immune system, particularly beneficial during periods of increased susceptibility to illness or recovery from infection. Vitamin C delivered intravenously reaches concentrations many times higher than what can be achieved orally.
- Energy & Recovery Drip: A blend of B vitamins, magnesium, and amino acids designed to support energy metabolism, reduce fatigue, and aid muscle recovery. This formulation is popular among those with demanding lifestyles, athletes, and anyone experiencing persistent fatigue or burnout.
How Do You Get Started?
A brief consultation is required before your first IV drip session. This allows Dr Tsotetsi to review your health history, identify the most appropriate formulation for your needs, and ensure there are no contraindications. For medical formulations such as iron infusions, additional blood tests may be required. Please contact the practice for pricing. Please note that no cash or medical aid is currently accepted.
