5 Anti-Aging Benefits of Having Regular IV Infusion Therapy Sessions
If you’re looking to reverse common signs of aging and are wondering if vitamins and minerals can help, you’re not alone. About 86% of Americans take oral vitamin supplements, but with this method, the vitamins first pass through your digestive tract.
But intravenous (IV) infusion therapy can help you get the anti-aging supplementation you want by bypassing your digestive system.
Here at eleven19 Medical Spa + Weight Loss, our team of providers offers IV infusion therapy to slow many signs of aging, including fatigue, poor skin tone, and weakened immune function.
Having regular IV infusion therapy sessions can:
1. Hydrate your skin
If you’ve noticed that your skin is dull and dry, you’re not alone. A dull complexion is a common complaint of aging. As layers of dead, dry skin accumulate, they hide your youthful glow.
IV infusion therapy provides immediate hydration by delivering fluids directly to your cells. This deep hydration helps plump up your skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Beyond your skin, IV hydration hydrates your entire body, and according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, proper hydration helps you age well.
2. Boost collagen production
Collagen is the protein responsible for maintaining your skin’s elasticity and firmness. It’s the glue that holds your skin together, but as you age, your body’s collagen production decreases, and that opens the door to sagging skin and wrinkles.
IV infusion therapy often includes ingredients like vitamin C, which stimulates collagen production.
3. Increase your energy levels
Feeling tired and sluggish is common as you age. IV infusion therapy delivers essential vitamins and minerals directly into your bloodstream and bypasses your digestive system.
Vitamin B, for example, is touted as the energy vitamin, and you can find this vitamin in many IV infusion blends.
4. Boost nutrient absorption
As you get older, your body’s ability to absorb nutrients from food diminishes. That’s because aging can contribute to lower stomach acid levels, and that can affect your body’s ability to absorb nutrients like vitamin B and magnesium.
While IV infusion therapy isn’t a replacement for eating balanced meals, it can bridge the gap and help ensure that you receive a concentrated dose of vital nutrients.
5. Boost your immune system
IV infusion therapy can strengthen your immune system by providing high doses of immune-boosting vitamins, such as vitamin C and zinc. Regular sessions can help you fend off infections and recover more quickly if you do get sick.
What to expect from IV infusion therapy
If you’re interested in the anti-aging benefits of IV infusion therapy, your first step is to book a consultation with our team. During your consultation, we review your aesthetic goals.
Depending on your specific needs, we discuss the blend of vitamins and minerals that are right for you, make sure you don’t have any contraindications, recommend a regular schedule for you, and explain the process to you.
Getting an IV infusion is similar to an IV in a medical setting. We insert a small needle into a blood vessel in your arm, and your custom solution flows directly into your bloodstream.
The whole process takes about an hour, and many people sit back, relax, read, or scroll through social media on their phones during their session.
To learn more about IV hydration and how it can support your anti-aging goals, schedule your consultation at one of our offices in Tustin, Fullerton, or Rancho Cucamonga, California.
