💧 The Drip Guide —
Your Questions, Answered Honestly
1. Why should I get an IV when I can just drink water?
Drinking water hydrates slowly and most of it passes through your digestive system before your body absorbs it. IV hydration delivers fluids, vitamins, and electrolytes directly into your bloodstream for instant absorption and faster results. Think of it as skipping the line and going straight to VIP hydration.
​
2. Does it hurt? Be honest.
You’ll feel a quick pinch when the needle goes in — that’s it. Most clients say it’s no worse than a flu shot or blood draw. Once the drip is started, it’s smooth sailing. You can relax in our Zero Gravity Massage Chair, scroll your phone, or even nap.
​
3. Will I feel the effects right away?
Many clients notice a boost in energy, focus, and hydration within minutes to an hour after finishing their drip. Others feel results later that day or the next morning — it depends on your hydration level and body chemistry.
​
4. Can IV hydration help me lose weight?
Not directly. It’s not a “fat burner,” but by restoring hydration, electrolytes, and vitamins like B12, it can boost metabolism and make workouts or GLP-1 results more effective.
5. What’s a Good Faith Exam (GFE) and why do I need one?
Because this is medical-grade hydration. A GFE is a short telehealth visit with a licensed provider before your first drip. It ensures treatment is safe and appropriate for you — then you’re cleared for future visits for 1 (one) year.
​
6. Can I do this if I’ve been drinking or hungover?
Yes! Our “Bounce Back” drip helps to replenish fluids, electrolytes, and B-vitamins so your body bounces back faster.
​
7. Can I drive after my drip?
Absolutely. IV hydration doesn’t impair you — it usually leaves you feeling refreshed and alert.
​
8. How long does it take?
Most IV sessions last about 45–55 minutes. IM vitamin shots only take a few minutes.
9. What if I’m scared of needles?
Totally normal. Our Nurses have gentle hands and calming energy. You can look away, breathe, close your eyes or listen to music while we start your IV.
​
10. Can I eat before or after my drip?
Yes. In fact, having a light snack beforehand is recommended. You can eat or drink normally afterward too.
​
11. How often should I get a drip?
That depends on your goals. Some clients come weekly for wellness maintenance, others book before travel, events, or workouts. Our Telehealth Medical Provider can help you plan the best schedule.
​
12. Is this safe?
Yes. All IVs are administered by a Registered Nurse under the supervision of a licensed Medical Provider. Every ingredient and procedure meets medical standards.
​
13. Can I get a drip and an injection in the same visit?
Yes! Many clients combine an IV with a quick vitamin shot. It's a great way to maximize results in one session.
​
14. Can men get IV drips too?
Of course. We treat athletes, travelers, executives, golfers, partygoers, Grooms, Groomsmen— any man who wants to feel and perform better.
​
15. Do you accept walk-ins?
Luxehydra is by appointment only. We offer spa, mobile, and concierge services, so booking ahead ensures your session runs smoothly.
​
16. What if I’m pregnant or have a health condition?
Always let your Nurse know. Some vitamins or medications may not be suitable during pregnancy or with certain conditions. Our telehealth Medical Provider will review everything during your Good Faith Exam.
