Are there side effects to IV Infusion therapy?

There are no commonly reported major side effects from IV Therapy. Typically IV therapy is tolerated very well.

Prior to the appointment, you will complete an IV Infusion Intake form so that we can assess any contraindications or allergies to avoid

adverse reactions.

It is common to have a cooling sensation in the arm where the IV is placed during treatment, this occurs because the temperature of the IV fluids is cooler than your body temperature.

After the infusion, a compressive bandage will be applied to the area where IV access was obtained, to minimize bruising. It is best

to keep the bandage on as directed by the provider.

Where can I get my IV infusion?

Infusion services are offered in our office at Visage Medispa or conveniently in your home with our concierge service.

What are the benefits of maintaining a weight within the “normal” BMI range?

On top of preventing and reversing serious health conditions, weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight can provide many non-scale benefits such as increased mobility, improved sleep, boost in energy, and improved mental health and well-being.

How can I lose weight and maintain a healthy weight?

Whether you are part of our Medical Weight Loss Program or are receiving our IV Nutrient Infusions and Injections, weight loss is best

maintained by supporting your lean muscle mass. This is done through nutrition and physical exercise.

Resistance Training- this increases muscular strength and endurance. If you’re just starting out, aim for 30 minutes per day, 3

days per week.

Hydration- Generally, you should drink between 0.5-1oz of water for every pound of body weight, each day.

Nutrition- Avoid fatty and high sugar foods. To preserve lean muscle mass it’s recommended to consume 0.8-1.2grams of protein per pound of ideal body weight, each day.

How can I increase protein in my diet?

Protein is best received from whole food sources such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy.

Depending on your requirements, a protein supplement may be an appropriate addition to help you reach your recommended intake.

One option we recommend is OWYNTM Only What You Need plant-based protein products.
