Intravenous IV Therapy

Intravenous (IV) Vitamins is the delivery of essential vitamins directly into your bloodstream; such that your body achieves a healthy balance of essential vitamins. As the vitamins enter the blood stream directly via the insertion site, the effects are received quickly and easily.

This form of parenteral nutrition ensures that the body can successful absorb essential nutrients, and are not subject to lack of absorption (as when vitamins are taken orally). This treatment ultimately offers the fastest way to intake vitamins and minerals.

Vitamin Infusions are a powerful immune system booster with anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-histamine properties. Vitamins helps the body recover from inflammation, thrombosis, infection, colds and flus, fatigue, fever, as well as aid with post-surgical healing.

They play a role in heart and brain functions as well as our bodies immune system. Additionally, this form of vitamin intake can also be used as a form of cancer therapy that assists cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy, and suffer from low energy levels and nausea.

Increasing your vitamin intake by eating more of certain foods or by taking oral supplements can lead to a healthier lifestyle, however not all of the required vitamins and minerals actually penetrate into the blood. More importantly, there may not be enough of the essential nutrients that are needed during illness, high stress or for a person who is recovering post surgery.

With a Vitamin Injection, the venous access of this procedure ensures that nutrients are directly inserted into your blood stream where they can be readily absorbed by your body to speed up the healing process. During the recovery period from a liposuction procedure at Cosmos Clinic, we can provide our patients with the extra Vitamin C and additional nutrients their bodies need to speed up the healing process.

After the procedure, you might feel nausea but that will subside quickly. In addition to this, flu-like symptoms may develop in some people a few hours post the treatment.
