What is IV hydration therapy?

IV hydration therapy delivers fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, and other wellness ingredients directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) catheter. Because nutrients bypass the digestive system, they are absorbed quickly and efficiently.

Why Is Hydration Important?

Water plays a critical role in nearly every function of the body, including:

• Regulating body temperature
• Supporting circulation
• Transporting nutrients
• Maintaining energy levels
• Supporting cognitive function
• Lubricating joints
• Assisting with muscle recovery

Even mild dehydration can contribute to fatigue, headaches, dizziness, and decreased physical performance.

 

What are the benefits of IV hydration therapy?

• Hydration and recovery- Whether from travel, exercise, illness, or a busy lifestyle, dehydration can leave you feeling drained. IV hydration can help replenish fluids and electrolytes efficiently.

• Energy levels- Many clients choose vitamin infusions as part of their ongoing wellness routine to support healthy energy levels and overall well-being.

 

• Athletic performance and recovery- Athletes may use IV hydration to support recovery following skiing, snowboarding, cycling, hiking, running, or other strenuous activities.

• Immune system support- Some vitamin blends contain nutrients commonly associated with immune health and wellness, including vitamin C and zinc.

• Altitude adjustment- Visitors to Colorado's high-altitude mountain communities often experience symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, nausea, and dehydration. Proper hydration can be an important part of altitude adjustment and recovery.

• Hangover recovery- Hydration and electrolyte replacement may help support recovery from common hangover symptoms such as dehydration, fatigue, nausea and headache.

• Skin, hair, and beauty goals- Hydration and nutrients such as vitamin C, biotin, and glutathione are commonly included in beauty-focused IV formulations. These ingredients support normal skin health and cellular function as part of an overall wellness approach.

• Relief from travel fatigue- Long flights, time zone changes, and busy travel schedules can contribute to fatigue and dehydration. IV therapy may help support hydration and recovery after travel.

• General wellness- Helps support recovery from everyday stress pertaining to busy work schedules, physical demands, poor sleep, frequent travel and environmental stressors. Many clients use IV therapy as part of a broader self-care and wellness plan designed to help them feel refreshed and maintain healthy routines.

**Individual results may vary. IV therapy is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.**

What are the risks of IV therapy?

Common, Usually Minor Risks:

• Pain or bruising at the IV insertion site
• Bleeding when the needle is inserted or removed
• Swelling or irritation of the vein (phlebitis)
• Fluid leakage into surrounding tissue (infiltration), causing discomfort and swelling

Less Common but More Serious Risks:

• Infection at the insertion site or, rarely, in the bloodstream
• Allergic reactions to medications, vitamins, or other substances in the IV
• Fluid overload, especially in people with heart, kidney, or liver disease, which can cause swelling or breathing difficulties
• Electrolyte imbalances if large amounts of fluids or certain nutrients are given
• Air embolism (air entering the bloodstream), which is very rare but potentially serious
• Blood clots associated with IV lines

Who should NOT receive IV therapy?

The Oasis Vail does not offer IV services to women who are pregnant or breastfeeding due to lack of sufficient evidence pertaining to risks to her baby/unborn child.

You must be 16 years old and above to receive IV infusions with The Oasis Vail. Clients who are 16-18 years old must have parent or legal guardian consent, and they must be present for the entirety of the infusion. 

IV therapy may not be appropriate for everyone. Certain medical conditions may require additional evaluation or may be contraindications to treatment. A health screening is completed for every client prior to infusion therapy.

 

Who Should Be Especially Cautious?

People with:

• Heart failure
• Kidney disease
• Liver disease
• Severe allergies
• Certain electrolyte disorders
• Pregnancy

When to Seek Medical Attention After an IV:

Contact a healthcare professional if you develop:

• Increasing redness, warmth, swelling, or pus at the IV site
• Fever or chills
• Severe pain
• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain
• Significant swelling of an arm or leg
• 
  

The Oasis Vail reserves the right to refuse IV services for any client who does not fit the parameters for safe and responsible treatment.
