Complete Anti-Aging Vitamin IV
- Before the drip
- A medical assessment
- Available at
- Legian, Ubud, Canggu
Your visit
We start with a quiet conversation, checking your health, medicines, supplements and allergies against the formula.
At Legian you settle in beside a backlit salt wall while a small cannula, a thin, flexible tube, goes in.
We keep an eye on you throughout, then the cannula comes out and a small dressing goes on.
Aftercare
- Expect a small dressing on your arm, and a little tenderness or bruising that passes.
- Drink water afterwards and keep the rest of the day easy.
- Contact us if anything unexpected develops afterwards.
You may feel more hydrated the same day, as some people do. Changes in your skin or general wellbeing can take longer.
Results vary, and we agree how often you return at your consultation.
Afterwards there can be some discomfort, bleeding, vein irritation, dizziness or nausea. Less often, infection, an allergy or a fluid-related complication can follow.
Good to know
Ideal for
- Fluids and antioxidants in the same drip
- Anyone who cares about their skin and their energy alike
Please note
Before you book, please tell us if you take diabetes medicine, or have kidney disease or stones, G6PD deficiency, an iron-storage condition or high calcium. The drip goes in through a small cannula, so it is best if you feel comfortable with that.
Before your visit
- Tell us what you take, including supplements, and about any kidney or heart condition.
- Say if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Say if you are having cancer treatment or take blood thinners.
- Eat something and drink water before you come.
- Please list the vitamins you take, as A, D and E can build up.
- High-dose vitamin C can affect some blood-glucose readings and cancer treatments, so do mention either.
Alpha-lipoic acid sets it apart
Alpha-lipoic acid may be the name here you do not know. It is an antioxidant that works beside glutathione and vitamins C and E to protect your cells against oxidative stress, wear from unstable molecules.
Vitamin C has its part in normal collagen formation and immune function. Vitamin A matters for skin, D for muscle and bone, and the B vitamins for energy and nerves.
Saline is the base, and it keeps you hydrated.
