Most IV drips take 30-60 minutes depending on the formula and your hydration level. The Hydration IV is the quickest; the Beauty Infusion and Iron Infusion take longer due to the formulation.

For many nutrients, the difference is significant. Oral vitamin C bioavailability drops to around 50% at doses above 1g (Annals of Internal Medicine), and oral magnesium absorption ranges from just 20-50% depending on formulation. IV delivery achieves 100% bioavailability and can reach plasma concentrations up to 70x higher than oral dosing for vitamin C. This is why IV nutrient therapy has been used in hospital settings for decades — when absorption and concentration matter, IV delivery is the clinical standard.

It depends on your goals. For general wellness maintenance, monthly sessions work well. For immune support during travel or illness season, bi-weekly. For athletic recovery or acute needs, weekly. Your provider will recommend a frequency based on your health goals.

The IV catheter placement feels like a small pinch — most patients say it's easier than a blood draw. Once placed, you shouldn't feel the infusion at all. Our RN injectors are experienced at making the process as comfortable as possible.

Yes. You can add boosters to any IV drip — extra vitamin C, glutathione, B12, or a 1000ml hydration upgrade. Your provider can also recommend combinations based on your specific goals.

For most IV drips, no — you can book online and come in without labs. The exception is our Iron Infusion, which requires bloodwork to confirm iron deficiency before treatment. Iron is not water-soluble and can accumulate to harmful levels if you're not actually deficient. Look for the beaker icon on our menu — it marks treatments that require labs.

Side effects are uncommon. You may experience minor bruising at the IV site or a cool sensation during the infusion. Serious reactions are extremely rare when administered by qualified medical professionals in a clinical setting.

Vitamin shots are quick intramuscular injections of a single nutrient (like B12 or glutathione) — in and out. IV therapy delivers a broader cocktail of vitamins, minerals, and hydration directly into your bloodstream over 30-60 minutes. Shots are great for targeted boosts; IVs are better for comprehensive wellness, hydration, and higher nutrient doses. We offer both.

Yes — our Hangover Cure IV is specifically formulated for this. It includes rapid rehydration, B vitamins to replace depleted nutrients, anti-nausea medication (ondansetron), pain relief (ketorolac), and acid reduction (famotidine). Most patients feel dramatically better before the session ends.

Yes. IV nutrient delivery has been used in hospital medicine for decades. Specific evidence: IV vitamin C reaches plasma concentrations 70x higher than oral (Annals of Internal Medicine). The American Migraine Foundation cites IV magnesium as an effective acute migraine treatment — magnesium deficiency is found in up to 50% of migraine patients. IV glutathione bypasses the near-complete degradation that occurs with oral supplementation (Journal of Clinical Pharmacology). IV iron corrects deficiency in 1-2 sessions vs. months of oral iron with GI side effects. Our formulations are based on this clinical foundation, not wellness trends.

Clinical oversight. At Chan Ramos MedSpa, every IV is placed and monitored by Registered Nurses under the supervision of a CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist) — the highest clinical credential in nursing. We use medical-grade formulations sourced from licensed pharmacies. We require labs before Iron Infusions. Pop-up IV bars often operate with minimal medical oversight, use pre-mixed formulations, and don't screen for contraindications. The drip may look the same — the safety net behind it is not.
