All questions & answers about IV therapy
What is IV therapy? +
It is a medical treatment that delivers vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream to restore cellular balance, elevate energy levels, and optimize metabolic functions with 100% absorption.
What are the main benefits of IV therapy? +
IV therapy helps boost the immune system, increase vital energy, improve skin radiance and collagen synthesis, reduce systemic inflammation, and accelerate physical and cognitive recovery.
How long does an IV session take and when will I feel the effects? +
An IV session takes 40 to 60 minutes in a comfortable, relaxing setting. Because nutrients enter directly into the bloodstream, many patients report enhanced vitality and hydration immediately or within 2 to 4 hours.
Is IV therapy safe? +
Yes, when performed with certified medical-grade supplies, under prior clinical screening and administered by registered nurses under Dr. Lina Motta’s protocols.
How long do the effects of an IV drip last in the body? +
The effects of an intravenous drip typically last between 1 and 3 weeks, depending on individual metabolic rate, physical demands, stress levels, and lifestyle. Because IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream with 100% cellular bioavailability—bypassing digestive breakdown—cells absorb and retain micronutrients for sustained clinical benefits.
Who performs the vein catheterization and in-home IV drip administration? +
Vein catheterization and IV drip administration are exclusively performed by licensed registered nurses holding active professional credentials registered with Colombia's Secretaría de Salud. Our clinical team receives rigorous training under medical protocols led by Dr. Lina Motta, ensuring strict biosafety standards, aseptic techniques, and single-use sterile medical supplies at every visit.
What medical assessment or tests are conducted before receiving an IV drip? +
Prior to infusion, we conduct a complimentary clinical pre-assessment consisting of a digital medical record check, personal history review, and vital signs measurement. This screening enables our medical team to rule out renal, cardiac, or allergic contraindications, verifying complete nutrient compatibility and tailoring the exact formulation and dosage safely.
