What are IV Vitamin Treatments?

IV vitamin treatments deliver high doses of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream via intravenous infusion, bypassing the digestive system for maximum absorption. These treatments are designed to enhance energy, boost immunity, improve skin health, and support overall wellness. At Nairobi Sculpt Aesthetic Centre, Dr. Mukami Gathariki offers customized IV therapy protocols tailored to your health goals, ensuring safe and effective results in a relaxing environment.

Benefits of IV Vitamin Treatments

• Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: Delivers 100% bioavailability of vitamins and minerals, unlike oral supplements.
• Increased Energy: Boosts vitality and combats fatigue with nutrient-rich infusions like vitamin B12 and magnesium.
• Improved Skin Health: Promotes radiant skin and collagen production with antioxidants like vitamin C and glutathione.
• Strengthened Immunity: Supports the immune system to prevent illness and aid recovery.
• Quick and Non-Invasive: 30–60 minute sessions with immediate benefits and no downtime.

Who is a Candidate for IV Vitamin Treatments?

IV vitamin treatments are suitable for individuals who:

• Are in good overall health with no severe kidney or liver conditions that contraindicate IV therapy.
• Seek to boost energy, improve skin appearance, enhance immunity, or support recovery from stress or illness.
• Experience nutrient deficiencies, chronic fatigue, or poor absorption from oral supplements.
• Are over 18, not pregnant or breastfeeding unless cleared by a physician, and have realistic expectations.

Dr. Mukami will review your medical history and wellness goals during a consultation to customize your IV therapy plan.

Why Choose IV Vitamin Treatments?

Patients opt for IV therapy to:

• Boost Wellness: Replenish essential nutrients for improved energy and health.
• Enhance Beauty: Promote glowing skin and anti-aging benefits with targeted infusions.

The IV Vitamin Treatment Procedure

IV vitamin treatments are administered in a comfortable, in-office setting. The process includes:

1. Consultation: Dr. Mukami assesses your health needs and designs a personalized IV cocktail (e.g., Myers’ Cocktail, vitamin C, or glutathione).
2. Preparation: A small IV catheter is inserted into a vein, typically in the arm, after cleansing the site. No anesthesia is required.
3. Infusion: The nutrient solution is delivered slowly over 30–60 minutes while you relax. The procedure is painless, with mild sensations at the insertion site.
4. Post-Treatment: The IV is removed, and a small bandage is applied. Patients can resume normal activities immediately with aftercare instructions.

Dr. Mukami ensures sterile techniques and high-quality, medical-grade nutrients for safe, effective treatments.

Recovery and Aftercare

IV therapy requires no recovery time:

• Immediate Post-Treatment: Mild tenderness at the insertion site, resolving within hours. Hydration benefits begin instantly.
• 24 Hours: Drink plenty of water to support nutrient absorption and avoid strenuous activity if feeling lightheaded.
• 1–2 Days: Energy, skin, or immunity benefits become noticeable, depending on the infusion.
• Ongoing: Effects last days to weeks; regular sessions (e.g., weekly or monthly) maintain benefits.

Aftercare includes:

• Staying hydrated to enhance nutrient delivery and flush toxins.
• Avoiding alcohol or caffeine for 24 hours to maximize benefits.
• Monitoring for rare side effects (e.g., bruising or allergic reactions) and contacting Dr. Mukami if concerns arise.
• Following a balanced diet to complement IV therapy results.
• Scheduling follow-up sessions to maintain wellness goals.

• PRP Therapy: Boosts overall skin vitality and anti-aging effects.
• Holistic Weight Loss: Provides energy and nutrient support for weight management programs.
